Just wanted to let everyone know that, if I'm slightly disjointed sounding or spelling is not great, it's because I lost my gran yesterday. She had had a nasty fall on Thursday night and had a broken shoulder. Sadly, the shock and possibly some of the injuries (don't know the extent of them) took the fight out of her.
She may not have been a great fan of sighthounds but she was quite taken with Millie and Tigger and she was a great friend to Wills. She has had dogs all my life and I think that's where my love of them stems from.
So sorry about your Gran, Karen - it must have been a great shock to you. You'll have some wonderful memories of her and her love of dogs which you inherited from her. Thinking of you.
