Goodbye Pal.

An ink drawing of a family looking at a litter of puppies at the Dogs Trust. They want to adopt one puppy.

In this drawing, two children are cradling a puppy who is peering up at them. In the background the Mother is signing adoption papers with the Dogs Trust rep.

In this drawing, there is a montage of the little dog’s activities. He leaps and runs in tall grass. He sings to sing when his owner plays harmonica. He refuses to get his paws wet. He gnaws on a bone. He cuddles his Mum (me).

In this drawing, there is an empty dish, a collar & lead pictured. On a dark horizon are silhouettes of 3 dogs.
The foreground reads 2015-2023 Chuck.
Chuck has passed away, after a rapid tumour grew. He went to sleep the same day as his Pal Monty, & joins his old best friend Bailey.

The cost of relying on children

Image of child offering to help unpack shopping with a large box of chocolate biscuits in the foreground

Image of mother reclining at last with feet up. Child’s head peers from behind the door to check where the tea is kept

Split image, one of mother spitting out disgusting tea, the other of mother looking at two boxes of tea, one a fruit tea which the child has used by accident. The box of biscuits is empty: child cannot be relied on!

Important to have someone who will listen without judgement or advice.

In a relationship

Two pairs of shoes on a step. One pair is bigger, brown and suggestive of a man. Other pair are smaller, gold sequinned trainers and suggestive of a woman.

They are together to identify the nature of the couple.

Christmas Eve near Polesworth,

Yesterday was a hospital day. My son has a long & complex medical history spanning almost every department. Yesterday we met oncology. Ever hopeful it’s a false alarm, of course.

This is The Feller, walking a little beloved dog in the rain.

This has been my life since I got back from holiday. Straight into 3 jobs, one son having tutoring at home through medical needs, a dog dying of cancer & being taken to court.
