That was their best option at the time. Now it's not, and especially because of how she's treating them....which isn't how I want them treated.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727596416170770024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-50856073986441121762009-02-06T13:22:00.000+08:002009-02-06T13:22:00.000+08:00i'm so happy that you will be able to be reunited ...i'm so happy that you will be able to be reunited (finges crossed) with Toffee and Lupo. <BR/><BR/>so this "friend" lives in your former home? and does what she wants? does she pay you rent? <BR/><BR/>get your babies back as soon as possible so you can breathe easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-62628443452458824572009-02-06T12:41:00.000+08:002009-02-06T12:41:00.000+08:00Thank you Annie, I think she's holding him to rans...Thank you Annie, I think she's holding him to ransom - she knows I'll keep her on rent-free terms while she has him. So sad, because I was quite willing to give her six-months grace until I sell the apartment.<BR/><BR/>Hey Jac - good to see YOU :) :) Yes, it will be wonderful to all be together again and on top of that Steve's boys will be visiting in the summer for three weeks so it will be a very full and joyous household indeed :)<BR/><BR/>Gillette - yes, it seems those tied to us by blood are always the ones to inflict the deepest wounds. She has reneged on our agreement and I know she's being heavily influenced. That's what I dislike the most. <BR/><BR/>John, I was so saddened by Chelsea's experiences and so glad you came back to her at the end so that her last memories were such good ones. <BR/><BR/>It makes my blood boil too, that he is so restricted in his own home, that he can't have a proper bed because her own dog in her advanced age pees on EVERYTHING and that he clearly wants to be up on the couch being cuddled and hugged and is denied that love.

And my cat is now next to feral and I can hardly pet him anymore! At least I was able to give my dog a good last few months of life before I had to put her to sleep.<BR/><BR/>You go over there and pick them up yourself if you have too! And give them a hug and scruff from me when you do...<BR/><BR/>Sorry I ranted a bit, but this is close to my heart...Fusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478465297213819613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-35576977939640776612009-02-06T01:38:00.000+08:002009-02-06T01:38:00.000+08:00Oh, my good luck with all that.Why is it that fami...Oh, my good luck with all that.<BR/><BR/>Why is it that family can be so challenging when we should be a haven to each other.

Where on earth have you been and where a...Woman!!! Where on earth have you been and where are you writing these days??? Email me if you can.<BR/><BR/>Not cynical at all, unfortunately and not only I, but my best friend, echoes those thoughts. I think she's panicking at the thought of having to pay for rent for the first time in eight years and I paid that in exchange for her looking after my pets. Plus I've always paid for any big expenses relating to them and have (well until about a year ago when she came into her inheritance) sent her regular cash infusions.<BR/><BR/>We're still in a high-rise in the middle of town, yes, but will be moving in May to one of the outlying islands where there are beaches, loads of walks, plenty of dog-friends to find and cleaner air. It will mean fairly long commutes for Steve and I into work and I'll find a dogwalker to take him out twice during the day (I'll do first thing in the morning and evening). I'd like him here with me in the high-rise for a few weeks to settle him in and walk him during my lunch breaks (I live that close-by).<BR/><BR/>I hope this doesn't get nasty, I still have all her money because she still hasn't sorted out her own bank account so if push comes to shove, I may have to hold her to ransom!!!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727596416170770024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-78919206229381349392009-02-05T17:25:00.000+08:002009-02-05T17:25:00.000+08:00I'm probably being needlessly cynical, and Rhona h...I'm probably being needlessly cynical, and Rhona has spent much time and love with Lupo, and will indeed miss him...but can't help thinking she probably wants money, maybe feels entitled to compensation for those eight years (yes, nevermind the money you've already given her over the years). Oh hell, I'm just happy you're to be reunited. It's about time...but have your living arrangements changed?
