I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Had to laugh at being locked up for being an overly enthusiastic @Kurra. Looking forward to hearing what you'll do. In the mean time give that body a chance to heal from that overly enthusiastic Kurra 😁

Is that Toby @Zoe7? What a very cute fluff ball. Rather adorable really. He looks very loving 💜💜💜

That is Toby. He's even cuter when he smiles. He is a very happy, friendly little cherub. Love him so much - has kept me alive the last few months - how could you leave that little face without a Mummy!

@Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope I think I lied with one or two posts per day. I think today I set a record for me. This is my 33rd post. Even I was surprised when I counted. The poor moderators must be sick of reading my posts. On the bright side at least I'm behaving 😜 I have one more that I've been avoiding all day but want to write. Not sure if I'll get there or not. Feeling tired now and don't want to mess it up. It's a me post 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:.

Absolutely @Zoe7. It's really great you have him. I picked mine up as a rescue dog. He was very skinny and ravenous when I got him. He was rescued from being put down at the pound from a rescue group who I adopted him from. He is a very athletic looking boy but unfortunately doesn't always get the exercise he needs. He doesn't leave my side. When I'm unwell he lies with me all day. He has been with me typing all day. I'd imagine Toby is the same.
