Hey EmJ, our little guide dog pup arrives at the end of the month when it reaches 10 weeks. Only a couple of weeks away now. I get to meet the litter this friday and I am focusing on that for now.
Good on you for keeping busy hun with the support group and fundraising. It can be quite cathartic and I am sure your suuport has been invaluable.

I am doing ok, just some days i don't push it. My SIL and nephews have just been for a visit and left like a tornado- bless them. I wish it was more relaxing for my SIL to visit, but the kids get so excited and she worries about them pulling the place apart. While i appreciate that, i still want her to feel she can relax. We have carpet and although the house is not child proof, i don't leave things around that they can't get into. But man...i feel a like a silence has fallen when they leave. So peaceful and quiet. I didn't realise that until they had been and left. I must help her out a bit more and take one of them now and then to give her more of a break. The times i look after them are when she is working and i think she might like to enjoy her boys for a bit of one on one time too sometimes. They are full on.

Thinking of you Trace as your cycle returns, new beginnings hun and hope this cycle brings you new hope. oxox
