I’ve not felt much like blogging lately
My family returned from a holiday in South America recently, only to learn that while they were away, my sister Coony and I were forced to make the grim decision to put our family’s Jack Russell Wallace to sleep, due to chronic kidney failure. Two days of tests, and two nights in hospital on a drip ensured we’d done everything we could to save him, but he was beyond recovery. He was 10.
Wallace
26/8/95 - 1/7/06
I know he’s just a dog — and not even a very nice dog — but he was our dog, and his death hit me like a kick in the nuts. Maybe because despite my best efforts, it was ultimately I who decided his fate. When my family came home, they dealt with the news better than I did a week earlier.
So I’ve not felt much like blogging lately.

no one blames u for what happened to bolly, and we definitely don’t envy the decision u had to make. u did what was best for him, and that is a gesture of compassion not contempt. and since bolly was such an avid fan of ur blog i am certain he would want for u to continue blogging, if not in memory of him then at least for the mess he left on the floor…
