I'm still breathing, though I occasionally forget and turn a nice shade of blue...   :-[

I have been mostly offline for the last two weeks because of family obligations as well as the addition of an elderly and homeless Shetland Sheepdog to our home (and for anyone who's been privy to stories about my dog-hating, very assertive cat, I leave the events of the last week to your imaginations).   :o   Potentially fur-raising stuff...no one has been hurt or unduly upset yet, but the process is frustratingly slow for all involved.

I am gradually getting to the pile of emails that have backed up whilst I've been having deep and meaningful negotiations with cat and dog, taking dog to vet for biopsies (he's fine, though enormously fat and old), and trying to not go out of business in the meantime.

So be of good cheer, I am working my way through the pile in chronological order. If you've been waiting since before the Culloden event for me to email you or do something webmasterish for you, please either email me again or send me a message through the forum software.

(and if anyone has experience in dealing with older dogs coping with the death of an owner, please drop me a note)
