At last the house Christmas tree is in place, all ready for dressing on Christmas Eve. Definitely looks a lot like Christmas now. Today is the last chemotherapy for 2014. Just hate the word Cancer. Been a major part of the Carr and Ashworth family since 1997 when my Mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Then both my lovely in-laws followed by my Dad and recently our Daughter who thankfully was given the all-clear of hereditary breast cancer. Now our precious Clementine the third one of dogs to be diagnosed with cancer and not forgetting the beautiful Muriel my Sheilas litter sister just diagnosed with sinus cancer. Thankfully as far as we know our dogs carry on without the stress of knowing they have a dreadful disease, wish it was the same for us humans. My biggest fear for my current health scare is how it could affect my lovely dogs. I had only been in the front garden five minutes and Sheila my Irish girl greeted me as if I had been away months. What a lovely feeling of being loved so much. My Ida is very Mum orientated and Mick told me that she never settles whilst I am not there and clings to me like glue when I am home. My fears of being ill are more for my dogs, cats, hamster and tortoise called Alan. A strong believer in letting my animals see and say goodbye to the ones who have passed away calms me as I know Mick would allow this if the worst scenario happens from the biopsy. Just know that I have lots to sort out making sure they will all be financially secure and that my Hubby will look after them. I cannot believe this time last year I was talking to Sally Wainwright about the dogs and how she spent much time in securing their future. Bless her she never really accepted she would be gone. She would have been devastated about Clementine being ill. Clementine has so many admirers past and present, just need to ensure she is fit for CRUFTS 2015, a milestone in the breed with ti kets for the first time. Will probably retire Clementine after this. Trouble is she just loves showing and gets face on when left at home. Better get some shut eye if I can. Busy day, no Meadow hell today but just a few last minute fresh shop to do at the Peaks after Clementine has been for her chemotherapy. Tree dressing after a lovely prawn cocktail tea. More importantly Spud will be back from Phoenix time dependant on traffic from Heathrow. Lauren is so excited then off they go on the 27th to Phoenix and Las Vegas for the New Year. Lovely happy photograph from our morning walk.
