Uh, hi? Holiday cards!

Sooo ... it's been ages! Not by intention, not at all. Particularly over the last couple of months when there were quite few times I wanted to post but just didn't have the mental energy. I'll work on it. But for now, holiday cards!

The dogs had their photo taken with Santa today (the RSPCA was fundraising) and it reminded me that it was time for such things so hey, if anyone would like a card from Australia, comment with your address (screened post) or email me: venetia@iprimus.com.au

(I should have paid extra to have the digital image emailed to me so I could post it here - Miss Shadow has such a WTF expression.)

RIP The Boyo

One of the most important things I meant to post about - it was about six weeks ago now, on the 16th October, that the Boyo died. He made it to thirteen years old and he was happy. He was skinny and his breathing was dreadful at night and my god, the amount of snot he produced - but he still loved his food and his walks and pouncing on the squeaky ball. Friends of mine came over on the Saturday and he had lots of pats and cuddles and he even played fetch with one of them rather than just having the ball tossed for him to catch. But he just kept getting weaker and his symptoms got worse.
