HTML hell

Just for the record... HTML is a huge mystery to me, I spent all evening just getting those few links in

40+ is not the best time to be learning this kind of stuff.



Connie's Irish Setter puppy

Any day now, Mae will have to be put down... this is a nightmare scenario, we all love that daft puppy, Irish to the bone. She comes from a litter where two MO (mega-oesophagus) pups had been put down. Tests showed she did not have MO so she was in the clear, we thought. NOT! She has something related to MO - the nerve tissue in the back of the throat and last part of the bowel is underdeveloped. This results in her constantly gulping huge amounts of air. Consequently, there is no space for food in her stomach and guts and whatever little food makes it inside is not properly digested. She is starting to cannibalise herself and has the runs all the time now. There is no cure for this. Almost 11 months old and beautiful and she is dying, she has to be put down before she becomes really sick and miserable. This breaks our hearts, Connie most of all. Its not fair!!!
