The reality of our loss

So hard to believe that it's been a little over four months since we lost our beautiful Boris, we had no idea that it was our last day together when we got up that morning, everything was normal and Boris was in good spirits as we set off on our walk that afternoon to try out the new elbow splints I'd recently purchased for Boris's arthritic elbows on the advice of our wonderful vet Dr Tania

Below is the last ever photo I took of Boris and Eko together on the walk that changed our lives forever, little did we know that only 10 minutes later Boris would suffer a massive stroke and need rushing to see the emergency out of hours vet, there was no warning at all as the boys happily ran off around the corner and only Eko returned on the recall

We’ve always shared our lives simply because we loved telling our story — the beautiful moments, the painful ones, the chaos, the laughter and everything that comes with living alongside dementia

Self care is essential

I have so much going on with my parents and Boris at the moment that I've been feeling totally overwhelmed by it all just lately, 

I'm exhausted with putting my parents needs first and worrying about Boris all the time that something had to give

I finally got around to booking myself an appointment with the

Self Care is so Important

Boris says

We're back home after the most amazing holiday and back to walking on our favourite common once more

The holiday was to give mum some much needed respite from caring for her own mother since her stroke in April

It's been a very stressful time since it happened and has been making mum
