Just read about your sister - let's hope the operation's positive affects will last as long as possible! My back has been in a good shape these days, but I know that as soon as winter and slippery streets come, it's going to be another story.

Your Poppy the cat seems to be growing fast. :) She looks totally adorable! But I'm sorry about Small and the dog - I can only imagine what a disappointment it was. And poor dog as well. Hopefully there is a more suitable home for her somewhere! And a more suitable dog for your family. Have you thought about a puppy instead of a grown-up dog. Puppies are usually more adaptable, I think.

Anyway, have a good and relaxing weekend - or what's left of the weekend at least!
