[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1606736, member: 17713"] I was so, so ill and really in a bad way after the last of my dogs died that I went 5 years without any dogs. Came home from cancer therapy one afternoon and just thought "I'm going to get a puppy, and one that I have always wanted"... (Newfoundland) so I looked online, saw Daisy as a Newfiepoo (I call her a Noodle)... paid a deposit and then emailed pucture of her to hubby at work. He said "she's gorgeous"... then I told him I'd already put deposit down and he would have to drive back to Wales to pick her up on the 3rd day after my 2nd mastectomy. Best thing we have ever done. I have my purpose back in life.. I have grown in strength (in mind and body) along with Daisy growing.. I know more people now than I have ever done. After my 1st mastectomy when things went so badly wrong I didnt leave my new home (moved day before 1st op) for a year besides going to hospitals and GPs constantly. Even on 2nd op people told me I was mad and should delay getting another dog. Even my mum with dementia living a long way away can remember my Daisy and says how pleased she is that I got a dog back in my life. The only thing I havent yet sorted is writing her into my will incase something happens to us both. I havent got anybody that I trust that would accept being jumped on in bed at 3am each morning!! Its something I am adamant about is that my Daisy doesnt have to change.... and so far even from all the people I now know there isnt anybody that is at home and would accept the 3am waking alarm jump from Daisy dog!!
