Hello Serendipity7000! Yes, it's been a while. the loss of Dora was utterly heartbreaking and we had such a short time with her. I can almost hear my husband rolling his eyes as we did promise we wouldn't get another one just yet. But... I couldn't leave her to her fate...

Yes, that's right: the owner returned to the pet shop to reclaim her but on hearing that she needed a £76 operation, she left her there. The pet shop have done the burring today and she seems fine; we are giving her a day there to recover then collecting her Saturday. Part of me is actually terrified because I was SO attached to Dora and it really screwed us both up as she was a child substitute..!! Anyway, I am hopeful that with her Rodipet ("other suppliers are available..") set up and granite tile, whimsies etc she'll be fine; they said that she's eaten half a bowl of food already so I'm hopeful. Will be ready with the porridge/ baby food / couches etc if she struggles!!
