      My heart goes out to you. I know that feeling too well. We have adopted many fur babies over the years. When one is lost, we adopt another one...not to replace but so that the life of the one gone, is not in vain but served to make room for another baby to fill the dog-shaped hole in everyone's heart. God Bless.

    Aw. This makes me sad. You said she lives in absolute luxury when she's with her Mom. That's good because all dogs and cats (I have 3) should be pampered. Thank you for bringing us such gorgeous pictures of your countryside. I'm in the US and I'm jealous. I can see in your videos that you do appreciate where you live. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    I love walking around the Forest of Bowland - my stomping ground. There’s a great circular walk from where you camped heading towards Langdon Castle - not a castle but a shooting hut (not very exciting) & the walk has some lovely moorland views.
