Thank you. He still likes to eat, but his heart problem might be getting worse. And 15 is very old for a dog of his size. But I think they’d be happy to be your dog nephews nonetheless.

I am owned by these two. Jasper, on the right, is 15 and we may have to make a dreaded decision about him soon. Bailey, on the left is 3, so we will have him for some time yet, thankfully.

For the map as now, yes, & represent some of the Barrier Reef islands, like Brampton and Hamilton. Not sure what it would do if the map was inverted. Maybe we should just leave it as it is & the northern US can be warm, & the southern US much cooler & see what happens.

We were warned -bad map projection. Also, it’s bad because the US should be upside down in comparison to Australia for the climate differences.

Oh dear. That makes me glad that Torrens title is in use for property registration in Australia. For the most part. There still are some old system title properties but you don’t have to go back quite that far.

Thank you. I think Mum has started to see it too. But I think she’s hoping for a nudge from the vets, rather than make the decision cold. I can’t blame her.

Thank you for mentioning that. I’ve just bought the e-book version because of the excerpt of one letter above & your saying that it remained in print.

Yes, because you don’t want to let go, and you don’t want to deprive your pet of life. But while he’s still interested in food, he doesn’t always eat all of it now, even though giving him smaller portions. And that’s probably one sign of many.

That’s the main thing :D

I’m not going to ask, but just believe that you have very good reasons to be sure of that. And given that it’s Newcastle, where we had an unrepentant paper bag bribing developer as Lord Mayor once, they may be very good reasons indeed.
