Good morning beautiful Topsy. Happy birthday little girl, it is hard to believe that it is your fifth birthday since you were cruelly taken away from us by that cowardly disease, I do miss you little girl. I even had to get out of somethings snorting way when I went down there to the kitchen just before midday yesterday, as it was waiting to go trundling off out to get breed… but there had been at least half a loaf in the fridge yesterday morning. That had almost all been gobbled down, apart from two crusty bits, with somethings huge breakfasts… only one thing eats half a loaf of breed at a time. I cannot remember much aboot yesterday afternoon little, some annoying bloke deliberately shoving a Christmas thing through the locked letterbox, and getting some soup ready is aboot all I can remember. It took some time for me to eat the soup last evening, it was almost cold by the time I finished. I went down to see Molly a couple of times, and brought her back up with me the third time that I went down, but she wanted to go back down aboot an hour later, which was just as well, as I had not taken my medication, and even then, I almost forgot. I had wanted to crawl into my nice big bed early, but ended up laying down much later than usual, and I had another coughy, spluttery night… and I could not believe the time when I woke up this morning. It was a couple of minutes before I usually get up, but I could have stayed there for another hour or so, as I was so tired. I crawled out of bed, and went downstairs to feed poor Percy and George, remembering to get their food ready first. I could hear poor Percy crying, and when I opened the garden doors, he came galloping in with George, and they were both soaking. I had not heard it raining, as I closed the big window two days ago. I gave them both their food, gave George a big lump of ham when she wanted to go out, and Percy some ham, salmon, and one of Molly’s posh foods before I got up here out the way. Percy finished his food when I went back down to make the coffee, and he went in so much, I had to give him another packet of Molly’s food. Of course, something was waiting for me to get out the way when I took my poor Mum’s coffee into the room that she had gone into. It was splothered there like an old walrus sunbathing on a beach, with the tusks and everything, and I just got up here in time before it was thundering down the hallway… at least there will be a few hours break from it today. I love you Topsy, I love you so much little girl, and I miss you, I miss you so much too you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
