Am Not Coping

Heading to the beach with Toby - back later

have fun @Zoe7

Hello @Appleblossom, @BlueBay, @CheerBear, @Faith-and-Hope

Hi @Shaz51 Hearing you re hot and firey challenges.

I posted in the "Fragile" thread some of my challenges of today. I did not tag anybody as I dont want to annoy anyone in particular. Generally, I have found it hard to get support, as a lot of my story seems scary even to just hear about it, let alone experiencing it. Just saying.

@Zoe7 Having you along for a longish or middle term length of the journey. It takes all kinds of outlooks and experiences to give true empathy.

Thanks Ladies you have made a difference for me.

@Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Shaz51 I had a great time at the beach. I picked up my sister, her partner and their dog and we all went together. It was the perfect night - no breeze and mid 20s still. Toby is a little sand monster again tonight and very tired from all his socialising with the other dogs and people around the beach. He is such an attention seeker lol

We had fish and chips on the boardwalk and then came home. The tiredness is just starting to set in for me now so I suspect it won't be too long until I am asleep tonight.

@Appleblossom Please feel free to tag me in your journey wherever you want - I don't get around the forum that much anymore but do answer tags and just as you have offered for me to tag you the same goes for you Hon - always happy to support you when I can

@Shaz51 I read about your snuggles with the cats today - it must make the day just that little better when you have those feline creatures wanting to be close for pats as well.

what a lovely afternoon @Zoe7, my sister xx

it must make the day just that little better when you have those feline creatures wanting to be close for pats as well-- sure does

smoky is sooo cheeky

I had some snuggle time with Cat when I got home too - she doesn't bother with Toby when she wants a pat and I usually have one one one side of me getting pats and the other on the other side. They really do get on quite well (as long as Toby knows his place lol) @Shaz51

It is lovely that Smoky is so cheeky and loves having you around. It is no much nicer when we find pleasure in our work environment my sister.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope Sending much love your way Hon 💕🌹

@Faith-and-Hope I have sand where there shouldn't be lol but am very happy that I got to the beach. Toby is sound asleep - poor little mite wore himself out 🐶😍

ha ha my sister @Zoe7, usually happens when you go to the beach xoxo

@Faith-and-Hope We went to 'our' beach tonight but not to the end that you painted but it was so nice that I paddled in the water rather than walking up the beach. It was a lovely time with Toby running everywhere as if he owned the beach lol He sat in between the front seat and me on the way there - which made it quite difficult to change gears - but we made it nonetheless. On the way back my sister sat in the front and he sat on her knee the whole way back. He started getting excited the closer we got to her place though - he definitely knew where we were. We didn't go in though when we got back - just dropped everyone off and came home. It was a really nice way to end a nice day though. Now I am watching Father Brown (sort of as I have seen this episode before), ave taken my meds and will head to bed soon.
