Hey Derek I hope to be in your neck of the woods this year sometime,coming to see coldstream guards museum. probably we can sink a few medicines together BAZ.

Thank you all, I was not being bitter or despondant, merely commenting on a particularly bad year that I have personally experienced.

Please feel free to use this as a sounding board for all your bad memories of last year and together we might come out of it feeling a little less fragile than we did previously.

Special thanks for the P.Ms.


Kindest regards, Derek and Wee Burnip.

TBH Derek because of how one dimensional a forum is some may think I was equally as bitter on the 'what were you doing at christmas' thread
I chose to be alone etc etc.but possibly construed otherwise.

And I am grateful for the kind words of encouragement.

2009 as it happened was a ****ty year, and perhaps 2010 will chuck a few surprises....All i know is that despite how low I feel, there are others in the world far worse off.

I have no idea what 2010 will hit me with but hopefully I will respond in the correct manner.

I hope I am making sense (for a change )

Andy,
Thank you and i'm not unhappy now just honoured to have known him for so long, people are the same. We have to keep plodding.
I imagine in time i'll get another Dog and I do have a good anchor point for a Husky
Then I did blub every spare minute for days.

people who never owned a dog, cant understand ?

My partner in crime is 10 come August , Other than a feed walk and bowl of water asks very little of me.

we have and hopefully will get up to all sorts of no good!!!

TBH I fear the day she moves on, She has terrorised Swiss border guards, startled the gendarmes ..( how come a gsd can drive a camping car!?)Naturally totally disrespectful of any uniform.

On the rare occasion hassle wilding, her prescence diffused the situation.Kids drug dealing in Agen...and she let them know our camping car was out of bounds !

And yet behind closed doors loves a chin rub !!

And then there is the 'stick' rivers dordogne , Vezere and North Sea, Med a trophy of our journey. Btw I am the current holder!!! when she ignored it in Oleron stripped as naked as a jay bird and retrieved it ( yup I am mad ).

But I cant think of a better partner!!!.

Good luck for 2010, My hound has been part of the journey so I fully understand your sense of loss.

Good luck

Channa

hi derek i had a real bad year when i was 18 (now 42)till next month,
took me many years to come to terms with what happened -first step (after 5-6 years) was to talk about it with a doctor,then stop drinking (to much at a time)but the best thing is time. hardly a few days pass yet that i think of it,but i dont want to forget..
sorry about lack of details but i understand what you are going through
and wish you all the best.

every one handles things differently (myself not to well )
i hope the time to heal is shorter for you and not as hard.
(this is what helped me and cant speak for others)

my daughter in laws young brother was killed this week while serving in afganistan. he was 19 yrs old a fine brave handsome lad.

Devastating. And at the worst possible time of year, nothing more to say that any way reflects the sadness.

We lost our 15 year old collie just a few days before Christmas. Loved her to bits. Miss her so much So not the best Festive Season for us. But I know they're are many who are much worse off than us.

So, I wish all of us a healthy and happy 2010.

Forget about new year a different day makes no difference, just plod on and be happy when you can. I had to have my dog put down a couple of weeks ago. I've had 15 years of love and happiness with him, wouldn't want to think being miserable would be what he wanted.

Know what you mean about your dog and what you must be feeling. We had a loveley chihuahua for 15 years and she was very much one of the family with all her little ways. We lost her 18 months ago, she had a enlarged heart and died in our living room. She was the best friend we have ever had and we miss her so bad. I thought with time it would ease but its still there. We will never have another dog can't go through this again.
