Updated December 8, 2024

Just a quick update. What with my COPDS and Janet's dodgy skeleton we have not been up to much. Both 80 now and have celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary so not so dusty. Anyway, I may be back with more another day. 
​And a Happy Christmas to one and all.

 This is new and will grow. It is by request of my granddaughters so you can blame them - I do! You'll find it in the menu above after Life on the Ladder.... or click the pic

AND some very sad news. Rupert got cancer (lymphoma) and had to be put down last year. 
It was tragedy since he had settled in so well and proved to be intelligent, curious and col-operative - shih-tsus are rarely actually obedient!
He followed a long line of lovely dogs but it seems breeding id not what it was - the last three have all become seriously ill - Digby with a heart condition and both Ollie and Rupoert with cancer. 
We cvannot have asnother - too old to train, cope or exercise well enough. End of a long canine era.

Rupert poses - briefly!
