Today is a day of mixed emotions

I'll start with my sad stuff first.................. today is the anniversary of the death of my beloved Shelby, she died 12 months ago today from a brain tumor that we didn't even know she had. It was really quick as we awoke to her falling all over the place and thought maybe a stroke. Our worst fear wasn't the case when we got her to the vet as it wasn't a stroke but a brain tumor that they couldn't fix. We had to put Shelby to sleep with 2 hours of finding her like this. Shelby gave us unconditional love for nearly 16 years and is sorely missed. I think of her often and wish I could just pat her again or snuggle on the bed with her. She was my baby. We miss you Shelbs.

=============================================

Today is also my nephews 19th birthday so after work will have to go to mum's for dinner. He's a funny boy and has only invited his girlfriend and 2 mates, its funny because its still like a kids party where you choose whats for tea and invite a friend. No huge parties or going to nightclubs which is what most of us and a lot of young ones would do, but each to their own. Happy birthday Adam.

=========================================

And finally to me, I weighed myself this morning, which I do most morning I might add but today is weigh in day and I am done 500gms, so happy but not over the moon. Yesterday I weighed less but its TOM for me, which also i didn't realise until yesterday at work again no less. Thought whats happening here this cant be right, its only day 16 when in actaul fact it was day 27!!!!! So I think I would have weighed less today if it wasn't for that dam womens issues.

500 grams is a great loss. Over 12 weeks you can lose at least 6 kilos.

Thanks for the kind words guys, they are much appreciated.
Drea - Shelby was a one in a million kind of dog, she never chewed anything just loved.
Kritsty - I never thought of it that way, 6 kilos would make me a happy camper for sure.

sue-there's something about dogs and their unconditonal love that really tears at your heart strings. We've had a number of dogs over the years and have had to put them down when their time was at an end. I still think of two in particular and it still brings a lump to my throat. Isn't it lovely that they inspire such love from us too.
