I am to have a puppy. All arranged by younger daughter , son in law and son in law who isn't ? Please be happy for Lottie and for me, we are lonely and the home needs joy .

And my physiotherapist agrees

Hang on in there, Annie. Still praying for you.x

wot Sun 17-Dec-17 20:28:19

Understand totally, Annie. I live alone with my dog who is getting old.

Anniebach Sun 17-Dec-17 20:24:18

One moan then I will shut up, I am dealing with my elder daughters mail, so much she kept secret, have to speak to council housing, council tax, council rent, water board, bank, and Tuesday the police want a statement ,plus dietician and physiotherapist will expect me to have kept to the routines they set me, it's getting harder to make decisions and The though of the decision I may have to make for Lottie is just too much.

Still I may have to, I may not

Anniebach Sun 17-Dec-17 20:17:43

My only family are my son in law who isn't, my son in law and my grandchildren, I haven't told my grandchildren, they adore Lottie.

annie just come on here and say what you think. we know you are worried. Those of us who have had beloved pets know how you are feeling and what it is like. You have already been through so much. Lottie has been well loved and cared for and we all hope she will be fine x

NfkDumpling Sun 17-Dec-17 20:15:12

No problem * Annie*. It’s better you talk to us than your family when you all have so much to come to terms with. flowers

Anniebach Sun 17-Dec-17 20:10:06

Sorry, I should have shut up and waited. I am so worried, I am trying to be positive , doing my grocery order today The though - she may not be here , just crept in.

Sorry I am tired.

There's nothing I can add except to say I am keeping fingers crossed that it will be benign.

Easy to say I know, but worrying won’t change the result, so try to enjoy both dogs for as long as you have Lottie. It could be a very long time!

Quietdragon Sun 17-Dec-17 19:09:09

Lovely news,love dogs I have 4 as I love them so much ? ? ?

wot Sun 17-Dec-17 19:09:01

I wish I lived nearer to you then I could cpomr and see you and your doggies

NannyTee Sun 17-Dec-17 13:30:16

Anniebach. Sending you my love and best wishes that all will be just fine xx

Anniebach Sun 17-Dec-17 13:27:16

Sorry all but I am scared of the results of Lottie's tests, can't forget one of my beloved dogs , I found a lump on a Sunday night, she had tests on Monday and I had to part with her on the Saturday , I am trying to be positive but not always succeeding

Anniebach Sun 17-Dec-17 13:23:09

cornergran, Phoebe has another name given by my son in law - Demonica! He did have to fence the fence in the rain yesterday !

NfkDumpling Sat 16-Dec-17 08:50:02

Oh, I do hope Lottie is ok. Fingers crossed and I hope you don’t have too long to wait for the results. (((Hug)))

cornergran Fri 15-Dec-17 22:55:51

Just caught up with Phoebe’s arrival and your worry about Lottie. Phoebe sounds a cute little thing, lovely and interested, just right. From your description Lottie has bucked up and found some energy, seems a hopeful sign. It’s easy to say annie but you know worrying won’t change a thing. Hold on to positive thoughts if you can manage it. Don’t worry about posting, we’re all here for you and will want to hear the news when you do. In the meantime just enjoy them both. Phoebe does sound a very good puppy, waiting to hear she has turned into a terror. smile.

Anniebach Fri 15-Dec-17 22:24:24

Nfk, Lottie is seven this month , so young, my Yorkies have all lived to a good age, one lived until she was eighteen .

Wilma, I just read it too, so sad

WilmaKnickersfit Fri 15-Dec-17 22:15:40

Yes, I can easily imagine being on your own at such times is very hard. Sorry, I forgot the vet would probably ring you with the results. You know much support you have on here and virtually 24 hours a day too. flowers

PS I've just read poor watermeadow's post.

NfkDumpling Fri 15-Dec-17 22:11:33

Fingers crossed Annie. How old is Lottie?

Anniebach Fri 15-Dec-17 22:00:18

Wilma, I was alone when I found Honey dead and nothing surely could be worse than being alone when told my beloved daughter was dead, i will accept the news of Lottie's results alone because they will,phone and I am alone, it's the way it goes. Thank you x. Sorry to say I will be on here to tell my friends , this will be comforting and if the news is good I want this to be where I share my joy x

WilmaKnickersfit Fri 15-Dec-17 21:30:38

I would have been just the same Annie. Is there someone who can be with you when you get the results? Good or bad news can be overwhelming and another pair of ears can be helpful. {{{HUGS}}}

Anniebach Fri 15-Dec-17 21:20:04

Thank you Wilma, the vet did unnerve me asking if I wanted Lottie x rayed to see if there was any cancer which was spreading , if it was cancer . I allowed fear in, thought no not October, then November now December . She also asked if it was cancer did I want to consider chemo, I felt swamped.

Must let it go and enjoy watching Lottie having fun again and Phoebe exploring the garden with her

WilmaKnickersfit Fri 15-Dec-17 21:06:18

Annie I know it's a waste of time saying don't worry, but you may like to know that this kind of tumour is very common in unspayed bitches and it's the most common type too. The odds of it being benign are about evens, but even if it's not, it is usually treatable and slow growing. Try to stay positive and enjoy your new addition as she tires out Lottie with her antics! ????

Anniebach Fri 15-Dec-17 20:55:15

Crafting x I have done nothing but post of my sorrows for three months, not for attention though, I needed the friendship so very much. It has been a struggle this year .

Crafting Fri 15-Dec-17 20:39:24

annie I am sure lottie will be fine but you must have caught it quickly so keep positive. Little phoebe was obviously meant to come to you right now to help you through yet another worry. You are not meme annie you are someone we all care about who is going through a really hard time and we want to be here for you and with you. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for lottie x
