Well, I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of the family. You will remember that earlier this year we lost our lovely Abi-Normal. She left such a gaping hole in my parents lives that they decided to go to our local rescue centre (
http://www.nawt.org.uk/) on the hunt for a new dog that they could give a loving home to.
Ali is a twelve-year-old Staffy who has been at the centre for the past year. Sadly, no-one wanted to give her a home as they thought 12 would be a bit risky. However, my parents being the people they are, decided it would be worth the risk of losing another pet so soon if it meant that they could ensure that Ali had the best things in life for however long she was around. She has only been at home for two weeks and she has already settled in really well. She loves the children and adores my mum, she follows her everywhere, and dad has already started to lose the pounds he put on with not walking a dog since Abi went. She loves her walks over the park and she loves going on the school run with lewis and my mum in the morning and when he gets out of the car, she jumps straight into the front seat like a little old lady. Don't get me wrong though, for a little old lady she is still very sprightly. She jumps straight into my arms when I tap my chest and loves to just sit there and cuddle up when she needs a nap.
Ali, our 12 year old Staffi, has just gone on her last journey to the vet's. We have decided it's time to put her to sleep as the tumour that has been growing inside of her is giving her pain now and so the decision has been made. We all love you Ali and hope that you meet all our other pets that have been waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.
This is a freebie from Mo. Lewis, my son, loved this image and said that Bronte reminded him of our Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Ali. So I made the card to look like a younger Lewis with his mate Ali. She's always hovering around him when HE'S eating cookies or biscuits too. Coloured in the image with my ProMarkers again and added some letters to spell out 'Ali and Me'. Lewis gave the card to my mum, who cried... bless. Poor Ali - she's still with us but very, very poorly.
Here's the lastest picture of my lovely Ali, our newest adopted member of our family. She's so nutty but the hot weather we've had lately leaves her tired and lethargic. She is such fun though and loves going on the school run with the children in the morning. She loves when we come home and goes absolutely mental running round the house chasing her tail. I'm so glad that we got her - she has fitted into our family just perfectly.
