I'm glad you've got friends. Give Spike's ears a scratch for me and tell him I said "biscuit" ! (or is that cookie for an American dog). Only trouble with dogs is they die too soon . My 2 Russian hamsters died just before Christmas - old age - and that was sad. One of them was probably the only hamster to blow a note on the tin whistle. I'm inclined to think there is a God but not an infallible one. If that offends anybody, sorry, it's just an opinion . One good thing I got out of having PD is I realized how badly I had underestimated the decency and kindness of strangers (though I still wonder about the neighbour who complained about the noise I made hitting the ground when I fell over in the car-park).
