Hello @lovable I feel your pain acutely as I'm only 4 months or so in front of you. It is an horrible & scary thought and one which everyone on this board has also faced. You're far from the first and you certainly won't be the last to have to go through it. But please try not to get down...

If you ever want a walking / hiking partner, I'm in the Dark Peak area of the Peak District -- I'd love to find someone to walk / hike with Alternately, if you're far away, look up the Ramblers

A quick look on Google and this YouTube video might be a good start re : chocolate addiction hypnotherapy

He's called Benny - he's my best pal :) Once my upcoming operation is all done and I'm recovered and its a little warmer, I'm taking him camping

It is indeed. And my little rescue doggie after 6 + years in an urban rescue home in the Midlands is loving exploring it all :) He loves the cows (even got a few fields with Aberdeen Angus in them) , the ducks, geese, swans, rabbits & hares He's intrigued with squirrels :D He just sits and...
