OK!! so my sneaking off to florist thing didn't quite go to plan :-( ( see earlier answer) Sammy the dog, curled up on the bed looking after carakeel, heard me pick up the car keys, sprang into life!! jumped all over poor carakeels bad knee before hurtling himself down the stairs, hoping to go walkies!! I then had to peel carakeel off the ceiling in a great deal of pain while she was repeating unpleasantries under her breath.
She is now settled again, I managed to get her a nice rose and a card, and Sammy is forgiven.
Phew!!!!
EFC, Thank you for your kind words, I don't think I do anymore than any lover, husband or wife would do for a loved one, and carakeel is the kindest sweetest thing on the planet!!! i.m.h.o.
I hope all you lovers out there are as happy and content as carakeel and myself and if not, may you find true love and happiness very soon!!
Have a great day!!!
