I think I will call it a day on this one Dai and concentrate on getting the pond cleaned up. just put it down to experience and get on with the rest of my life

That would seem to be later rather than sooner as yesterday I got the results of my review from the radiotherapy.
PSA down to less than 0.1 which is the lowest you can get so from now on its just the occasional follow up at the local hospital where I feed Dracula. Funnily enough the urologist's name is Wolfgang and he gets called Wolfie.
They are all after my blood

I'll get around to it eventually

Some things are far more important. Congrats on your good test results.

Gee thanks everyone.

Unfortunately there's a downside as ever.
Our Chaz has been getting weaker of late and the vet thinks that it is only a matter of time now.
We have been agonising about whether to have him put down or not but today decided that it is not fair to let him struggle any more. He is not eating and finds it difficult to get around and at 19 he hasn't done too bad.
He is off to the vet for the very last time on Friday afternoon.
Even though we always knew it was inevitable it is not easy as he has been a part of our family for so long.
I think Milly is going to miss him too as she must be about 17 now and for most of that time they rubbed along together.

I'll get around to it eventually

Jim, there comes a time when we, as pet lovers, have to put the animals welfare above our feelings.

And it hurts like hell.
