Oh Eurydice! I lOVE EVERY SINGLE PICTURE, EVERY SINGLE VIDEO AND EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU WRITE!

Watching yoy play with your friend Erwan, watching you chew your huge bone with such focus and bliss, watching you eat that pasta, egg and ham dish without spilling one single morsel, watching you dream such sweet dreams, watching you delight the little girls as they marvel at how magnificent you are...yeah...makes my day!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

And what a beautiful fb post your friends made. Lovely and yes, full of wisdom.

So glad you had such a nice day today! It probably did your mom some good to get out in the fresh air too!

I sooooo look forward to these posts and traveling with you. It's like Kerren said, it's a way to decompress! We get to take a little mini vacation with you everyday!

Lots and lots of love! And hope your Mom is feeling better!!

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Hey auntie Kerren and auntie Sally heart

Can I just say I ADORE you bothheart well, to be more precise I ADORE YOU TO BITS heart and Mommy does too !

Talking about Mom she decided to forget about the flu (life is too short to stay in bed, she says) and is out and about with me heavily dressed which is quite funny as it is very sunny and warm way-cool

She asked me to thank you both and say she feels much better now.

I would have loved to visit kids at school or in hospitals and many months ago Mom tried to get me to become a therapy dawg as I love people and adore children. 

She approached the entity in the UK that deals with this and got a brilliant recommendation letter from Kelvin, my oncologist, saying I would be THE perfect therapy dawg.

Guess what?

Mom got a reply saying they could not consider me whilst I was on chemotherapy and even if Mom and Kelvin explained there was zero risks 2-3 days after chemo they didn't want to know.

Mom was terribly disappointed and pointed out I would be an example to others but they said rules are rules and that was that.

This is one of the reasons why Mom and I love latin countries.

There are rules alright but there are exceptions too.

Anyway ...

I am really happy you are enjoying our tips, we sure had a full day today !

Lots and lots and lots and lots of love to you both from Mom and me 

... and ...

... my day started with a visit to the vet for blood tests and to collect my new chemo treatment ...

... after weeks of "not knowing what to do next" which drove Mom bananas now everybody agreed I should start Palladia which is a wonderful thing because Mom can give me my tablets and we can keep travelling freely during my treatment winker

... Mom knows this is not a cure but hopes it will keep us together for much, much, much longer heart

... AND ...

... my blood test was just perfect big-blink
