There's one more Angel in Heaven!

All Dogs go to Heaven

R.I.P my beautiful angel!




We made the hardest decision anyone could make today. We went for a walk with our girl this morning in the forest to let her feel the moss and dirt beneath her paws for one last time. As we meandered through at her very slow pace a lady (whom we have never met before) met us and decided to walk with us.

As we walked the lady told us of a story identical to ours... and reassured us that we were making the right choice and that it was Storm's time to go. When we said our goodbyes to the lady and her two dogs.. we looked back and she was gone.

An angel? It's amazing how God sends you what you need... not always what you want. We begged this week for him to intercede and save us from today's arduous task. Instead he sent us an Angel to help us on our path.

Stormy Girl went peacefully just after 11am today. We held her. We cried. We are still crying. St Francis just gained another friend... and we gained another Angel.

This photo is how I will always remember her. In the days when she always had a ball in her mouth and had the mobility all dogs deserve. Such a beautiful girl!

Tears, tantrums and triumph!

Today was one of those days in life that really threatened to bring me down! Matt and I set off with a group of hikers to head up Mt Warning today.  Having never done this track before we had no idea what really lay ahead.  The sign at the beginning warned that there were many steps and steep inclines .... but nothing could have prepared me mentally for what this really meant. The Wollumbin National Park, at Mt Warning, Summit track is NOT for the light hearted!  6 months ago there is NO WAY I could have made it up the 4.5km track (9km return) ... well, not in the 2:15 hours we did it in.  The track is listed as a 'difficult' climb, with many (many, many) steps, followed by a steep rock face (with a chain to assist the climb). By 2km I knew I had bitten off more than I really wanted to chew.... but refused to give in to the voices in my head.  I may have chewed poor Matt out for his attempts to support me mentally.  Definitely not in the right headspace for this today - bu

Starting a new life

By -
What a week! This week we left our comfortable life in Australia and began a new, uncertain life in the UK. Since leaving the hot dry conditions of Oz we have seen snow, rain, sleet, hail and (believe it or not) sunshine, all in 1 week. The boys (and Kerry and I) thoroughly enjoyed seeing snow fall and had our very first snowball fight. Although there have been a great deal of ups, it hasn't been without its downs too. Leaving family was hard but staying in a 1 bedroom, no private bathroom, B&B for over a week is starting to grate on us. We now know we are moving soon into a 2 bedroom, semidetached house in Waterlooville. This will be the highlight next week. So far we have had only one moment where the boys have become homesick, missing their cousins, grandparents and friends. No doubt this will happen regularly. They have assured us though, that they would not swap the experience for anything!! We will continue to post many updates, hopefully more than once a week. So
