As the Dad of an adopted daughter I for one will be forever grateful for the love and care you have given to all the children you've looked after over the years. I hope you and your wife recognise the difference you have made not just in keeping those children in your care safe, happy and loved but also the difference you've made to those who go through the difficult adoption process to have a family of their own. My wife and I thought we couldn't have kids, had loads of miscarriages, were about to try IVF when my son came along as a lottery win of sorts against all odds. Obviously this was amazing but meant IVF wasn't an option anymore for us, (the NHS won't fund you even if they know you have issues in conceiving if you have a child), but we desperately wanted another child so we chose adoption and now have a beautiful daughter to complete our family. The stability, love and care you've given are immeasurable and in these days full of dark and depressing news it's people like you that continue to help make a difference in the world and keep the light shining in a dark world.Tuesday:
Tears. Our 2 foster babies have left us this morning to go to their forever home. Whilst it is ultimately a very happy day that they have been adopted by a lovely couple and now have a mummy and daddy, we've had them for 3 and 2 years from birth and they are like our own, so Mrs D will have the tears flowing later. I've already had my little moment and then decided I needed a shave to rid me of a few day's worth of growth as we've been busy doing the transition.
Must have been stressed lately as I'd developed a cold sore on my bottom lip and intended to miss it. I didn't realise how far down it had developed, but pass 1 on setting #8 took the cold sore off and left claret flowing. Pass 2 saw me not paying attention and whacking a right 'nick' on my neck. I was going to give up, but ran pass 3 on setting #4 with no adverse events.
That said, I am completely BBS and managed to stem any flow with alum and a separate styptic pen for the cold sore. The boar brush needs more loading than the synth I've been using with the Løthur, as I had virtually no soap left in it to assist the rinse off of alum.
The splash seems to have worked on all but the nick, aka slash wound!
That said, I'm feeling better and now need to crack on with work!
Even a bad shave can do the trick!

Another quick shave. Rosie still doesn’t like being crated for too long.
Thank you. We're doing as well as can be expected. His energy level is off the charts and he's easily bored. Monday he chewed through the power cord to my computer. So, along with a new power cord, I ordered more chew toys. It's a learning experience for both of us.How is the pup settling in, great looking wee dog
I'm pleased to hear that. I can imagine his energy levels, full on and crash and burn.Thank you. We're doing as well as can be expected. His energy level is off the charts and he's easily bored.

What breed is he? I have a Paterdale/collie cross and she is the spitting image of yours. Poppy was a little minx. I had to redo all of my network cables and had to resort to Tablet use for a little while. She destroyed everything!Thank you. We're doing as well as can be expected.
