I'm so glad you posted Jess! I've been thinking exactly the same thing - WHY cannot I not make one this time... and I KNOW it's because I broke it last time and all the feelings that came from that. I shall watch this thread with interest.
I'm really sorry to hear about your beloved dog, I'm sure he was very well loved and had a wonderful life in your care. Lots of happy memories eh? I still have the odd tear for mine and she left us 18 years ago so sending you hugs.
Life sure is better not hungover, you can't argue with that. Thanks for the thread
