Rachel, just grabbing a tissue reading your post....
I feel like I am posting novels in evening as everyone else has gone to bed or work in their upside down world.
My song contribution...this ain't a love song, this is goodbye. (I have screamed this at many a wine bottle!)
I have an Italian greyhound (like a chihuahua on stilts who has had too many coffees) and a whippet (next size up and gives me such a look when he sees me pull a bottle of wine out of my bag and realises no more walks that day). When I have a minute I'll put them in avatar instead of the random dog who is there now
