A sad week...

I'll post the next part of looking after your PC a bit later. Time to catch up on some other stuff.

Those who read my blog will know that a friend of mine called Rose lost her 12 year old son just before Christmas. The whole family were devastated. This week I receive an email from Rose saying her husband died suddenly last week from heart problems. I just cannot imagine being dealt such an evil double blow and our hearts go out to you Rose!

Also this week I think my dog is reaching the final stages of his own life. He's almost totally blind and deaf and over the last week his kidneys and stomach have been really bad. It's at an all time low now with him unable to control his bladder or stomach at all. He's constantly going and it's a foul smelling yellow liquid coming out of him. I had to get my Dad to phone up the vet to find out the prices to put him down if it comes to that and I'm completely torn apart not knowing if I want to be there when it happens or if I should leave the room when they do it.

I've had him since he was 4 weeks old and he’s now 15 1/2 years old so he's had a good innings. I've known this has been coming for the last 8 months as he rapidly gets worse but the thought of what is coming soon makes me so upset all the time. I’ve been hoping upon hope that he will die naturally but it doesn’t look like its going to happen.
