Once in a lifetime....

We're heartbroken.

I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when and I didn't know how. 

Yesterday, we lost our beloved Chubba.

Now I know he wasn't human, but we loved him...and he loved us and this makes it easy for me to say.

The kids keep crying. BH wells up constantly, and me...well, I'm next to useless at the moment.  I know it'll pass.  I know we were lucky to have such a faithful friend.  I know we gave him a loving home, but I'll miss his head on my knee. I'll miss the feel of his soft head under my hands, his silky ears and his thumping tail.  I'll miss having to step over him at every turn, I'll miss the black dense hair on the floor, I'll miss walking peacefully with him. Chubba was that one of a kind dog.  The one you know that only comes along once in your lifetime.  That perfect fit. He gave love fiercely but never demanded.


But I'll miss him. My special boy. My beautiful boy.

  1. So sorry for your loss. Pets do become members of the family in their own right and it's heartbreaking when you lose them. Sending *hugs*

    1. It's been so sad. We miss him so much, but I'm thankful we had him! We had such joy, so we should be grateful. He was the only one that never answered back. xxx

  3. Poor Chubba, and poor you. Losing an animal quite often isn't any less painful than losing a person x

    1. It feels odd to be so heartbroken, even BH has been affected. Sad days, but we have such happy memories and lots of pictures and videos, so he's always with us.

  4. I am so sorry, I am dreading this day......the feel of them next to you on the sofa when you know they shouldn't be up there and those beautiful soft ears. Sending hugs! xxx

Cyber bullying? Where do we go?

I watched something quite awful unfold on Twitter last week, and I began to wonder whether we are being a little bit too open about our personal lives?  I have nothing to hide about my personal life (except my identity!), and  my personal details are there for all to see. There are "crazies" out there, that we can be sure of, but I never expected to see such vitriolic abuse targeted at one individual. To cut a long story short, an individual, for reasons of their own decided to target a particular lady who had been campaigning and raising awareness for different charitable groups.  This lady had been open and honest and had suffered her own personal tragedy, but for some reason " the crazy" had decided that she was a charlatan.  Over a period of a week her "friends" had become the subject of a barrage mad tweets and saw the lady being reduced to a  quivering wreck and trying to explain to friends what had happened in a very moving audio boo .  Subsequent
