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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

wot Sun 17-Dec-17 20:30:40

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

Anniebach Sun 17-Dec-17 20:36:00

And whilst I am at it, one girl who was one of my bridesmaids died suddenly last week and my favourite nephews partner has to have a double mastectomy, she is twenty eight years of age

Anniebach Sun 17-Dec-17 20:36:25

Thank you wot, I am sorry x

Overthehills Sun 17-Dec-17 22:35:42

Oh Annie, I’ve just come back
to this thread. I’m so sorry to hear about Lottie. Can’t believe this is yet another mountain for you to climb ... You are in so many people's thoughts and prayers, I hope that brings some comfort. flowers

Anniebach Mon 18-Dec-17 02:38:24

Thank you overthehills, x

Sorry to all for my outburst, so embarrassed blush.

kittylester Mon 18-Dec-17 08:45:11

Annie, I've only just caught up with this thread - I am so sad to hear about Lottie.

You know you never have to apologise to us as we are all friends and therefore here to support and understand. You have had a lot to contend with already and do not need any more. brew

Auntieflo Mon 18-Dec-17 09:02:24

Annie, you have so much to deal with at the moment, and are overwhelmed by it all. You know we are with you, as much as we can be, so please keep on telling us and off loading some of your worries. All will be well.

Anniebach Mon 18-Dec-17 09:20:54

you are so kind. I look at my posts and think - dear god stop moaning woman ?

Bathsheba Mon 18-Dec-17 10:04:37

Annie I don't think anyone on here would accuse you of moaning! You are just pouring out your worries to us and, let's face it, you've had more than your fair share of late. I hope Lottie will be OK, and I'm sure you were heartened to read Wilma's post about this kind of tumour being common and treatable. Hold on to that thought - and come on here as much as you like to talk to us x

Anniebach Mon 18-Dec-17 10:15:23

Thank you. I do think the vet should have said ' we will do a biopsy and wait for the results ' not swamped me with talking of x rays to see if it has spread .

Overthehills Mon 18-Dec-17 11:02:38

Annie look at the posts and keep moaning woman! Anyway you aren’t moaning just getting it off your chest - keep doing it, we’re here for you.

glammanana Mon 18-Dec-17 11:22:10

annie how lovely to be having a new family member I am so jealous,we have had an Emily/Poppy/Rosey/Henry and countless others over the years as soon as you see her you will settle on a name thats for sure.xxx

Bathsheba Mon 18-Dec-17 11:36:17

glammanana, the little puppy is already home with Annie and she has called her Phoebe tchsmile

Anniebach Mon 18-Dec-17 11:37:26

Thank you overthehill x

glammanana, her name is Phoebe, a darling , happy, full of energy, a white tornado who my son in law refers to as Demonica ? She is a ray of sunshine in all the gloom x
