I am very sorry to say that Charlie crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge this morning.<br />
<br />
I take comfort in the thought that the last thing he felt was my heartbeat and the last thing he heard was my voice telling him how much he's loved, how much he'll be missed, and how privileged I was to have had him in my life. </div>

<br />
For 15 months Charlie battled hyperthyroidism and kidney disease and for a while he was doing very well with 6 weekly vet visits, blood tests, a new diet and medications.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, over the last 3 weeks, he lost weight drastically, despite his normal appetite and the results of his last blood test (taken last week) were as bad as it could get with his kidneys.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, on the 25th February, he had a seizure.<br />
<br />
I was there with him, I held him and I cried with him. The seizure lasted about 30 seconds.<br />
<br />
We've just returned from the vet's and the prognosis is not good, in so far as the vet said she would be extremely surprised if he lasted this time next week.<br />
<br />
Currently his heart rate is 100 beats per minute.<br />
<br />
Charlie turned 16 on the 6th January 2018.<br />
<br />
We would have celebrated 10 years together in April 2018.<br />
<br />
He's just eaten 3 sachets of his food and is now resting.<br />
<br />
I just want you to know. He is loved more than I can convey. And he is breaking my heart.<br />

Wow - what a month and a half where plenty and nothing much happened! We are totally missing you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main news is that Charlie's going in for surgery this Wednesday to have a cyst removed. I won't use the word tumor cos I just won't!! I know in my heart it's going to be benign. Yes it is! </div>

As for the house buying - the vendor continues to do his damned ('scuse my French) best to delay the sale. He's messing with the wrong buyer, is all I'm saying!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gumtree continues to grow big and strong and very vocal! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll catch up with y'all soon - just maybe not now but soon - soon!! when things settle...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have peaceful rest of August!</div>

Bloggie pals! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, the not so great news is that my house buying has stalled a little. But I'm keeping positive as I've already invested emotionally and financially in this venture so I'm in it for the long haul! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The nicer news about moi is that I am writing again! Yay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's all a load of smelly pants of course but I'm enjoying the process!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First drafts are always the fun bit for me!</div>

The house buying is grinding to a very slow progress with ridiculous setbacks that I've been busy putting right (I've never spoken to so many strangers for so long on the phone as I did last week) but at least it's grinding forwards! Hah!</div>

Bloggie pals!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I am fast learning about this house buying business is that no-one speaks to each other!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never knew I'd be playing the missing link between solicitors, banks and estate agents! LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yay for the Easter break and big chocolate eggs! I hope y'all enjoyed yours!</div>

We are now currently at the solicitor's stage of the house buying process and anticipate the sale to go through by July or sooner! YIKES!!! *Bites nails*!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We are currently house-hunting and MAY have found a new home. Fingers and paws crossed but this just means we'll be erratic with our blogging until we're settled. At the moment all is upside down, inside out and all over the place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a fabulous week everyone!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, the best winner of the <a href="http://www.sochi2014.com/en" target="_blank">Sochi Winter Olympics</a> is this beautiful man, <a href="http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/02/gus-kenworthy-is-bring-five-stray-dogs-home-from-sochi/" target="_blank">Gus Kenworthy</a>, a silver medalist in ski slopestyle who rescued a stray mama dog and her four pups from a gruesome, albeit state sponsored, fate and gave them all "ten lives and a second chances"! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
According to <a href="http://susanlevitt.com/astrology/horse-year-2014/" target="_blank">this site</a>, this means a year of decisiveness and swift action! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

No glass half empty or half full! </div>

Bloggie pals!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is the reason we went AWOL last week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7hspmotRKmA/UtxL1CPrTlI/AAAAAAAACgs/jmGTuk1imjw/s1600/candles!.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7hspmotRKmA/UtxL1CPrTlI/AAAAAAAACgs/jmGTuk1imjw/s1600/candles!.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The circuit breaker for the lights exploded, the rest of the circuit breakers were ok but it meant living by candlelight and torches for a few days while Mr Electrician sorted out some dodgy wiring! LOL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Note to self: MUST always have spare matches! And candles. And torches. And batteries for the torches! (Thanks, <a href="http://keas-fuzzy-tales.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kim</a>!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
