Good morning beautiful Topsy. I have just been on Charlie’s page, it was not even nine, but I have just heard that blasted thing from over there at the swamp. It was at it yesterday, but was dragged back inside, though somehow it managed to escape, and got out there into the lane. It was recaptured, but it must have been like trying to catch a crazed chimpanzee, the screaming and the squawking was terrible, and made me feel worse than when I was choking. Apart from all that, it was quiet yesterday, but it still did not stop me from feeling depressed, even being ale to eat something for a change last evening did not cheer me up, even though it felt better. Molly wanted to stay down there in the kitchen, and did not come back up here until last night, and now has the hump with me again. I do not know if I had a good night, but I did not want to get up this morning, though I did so I could feed Percy and George. I gave them both a good feed, let George out with ham, and gave Percy his usual before I got back up here out the way. I thought I would try a few biscuits again when I made the coffee, but I have just spent the past hour choking on two biscuits that I ate, and I have not dared to touch my coffee yet, it should be cool enough soon. That wild idiot from the swamp has just started with its squawking, and now the dog has decided to join in, what a weekend this is going to be. I love you Toppy, I love you so much little girl, and I miss you, I miss you so much you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
