This is going to be short and sweet, as daft as it may seem I’m having difficulty holding it all together.
My MS has been on a downward spiral again the last week and eyes not good either, but the biggest blow came today being told that Buffy is terminally ill with only a couple of weeks left.
So I am taking a complete break from everything to care for her and then hope my own body will recover a bit.
Some may say only a dog, but she’s far more than that to me, she has always been my constant companion and as my eyes and mobility have declined my eyes and ears as well at times, we are in tune. She is my avater as well
I can’t say more, other than my DT work was already scheduled for the next few weeks so you will see those posts pop up.

Oh Brenda, so sorry to hear your news. I totally understand about Buffy. Please know that I send my very best wishes and kind thoughts for your recovery and for Buffy. Take care, Michelle x
I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles Brenda. I haven't been visiting much lately, but from the snippets on my blog list I did gather that the positive energy from your holidays seemed to be dwindling away again. I do hope your MS will stabilise soon.
I'm also sad to hear about Buffy's illness. I'm sure we all understand you want to give her the time and attention she obviously deserves. I know pets can give so much and ask for so little. Please take all time you need. I'll be sending positive thoughts to both of you and I'll be patiently waiting for your return to blog land...

You will be in the hearts, minds and prayers of many of your blogging buddies at this difficult time in your life. So many of us understand just how special our "furbabies" are in our lives. While you are looking after her, look after yourself and we will all be here when you come back.

Hello Brenda, sorry to hear that your MS is giving you problems again, especially as you could do without it at the moment with Buffy being so ill. It's not at all surprising that you need to take some time to just care for her and yourself. I look forward to seeing you in blogland again when you are ready and able. Take care and hugs to you and Buffy. Elizabeth xx

Huge hugs sent to you Brenda. I will be thinking of you and Buffy is more than just a dog.....a friend. Take care.
Sorry to hear about how you are struggling with your MS, and the very sad news about your dog Buffy. I lost my 15 year old cat to cancer this March and so can relate a bit to what you must be going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Brenda, I certainly understand and I am so sorry to read this about Buffy. You both will be in my thoughts. ((hugs))
Oh Brenda - I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Buffy. I do understand having lost both a beloved cat and a faithful old dog last year. I know it will be very difficult for you getting through those last weeks and the emptiness to follow and I'll be thinking of you (lots). I hope your own health improves - give it time and don't rush back into this blogging world until you are ready. We'll all be here to welcome you back.
Much love.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well and that your dog is ill too. I think anyone who says 'its just a dog' has never had one, those of us who do know they're a member of the family. Enjoy the time you have left together.
Sending hugs
Lynne
So sorry to hear about Buffy and your health deteriorating!! Enjoy the time you have with Buffy and get yourself stronger!! HUgxx
Awwww, take care of the both of you.....we'll still be here.
Blessings on your poor dog. I hope your declining health will have a better turn around the corner and we will see you creatig again!
I am so sorry to hear you and Buffy are not well, take your time and spend what ever time you have left with your baby. When I lost my little Bear I went into a deep depression that lasted for over four months. i was so heart broken and nothing anyone did could make it better. Finally I did get another dog and she is truly our baby. I would just die if anything happened to her. I am sending you a big cyber hug. Hope your MS will take a turn for the better soon.
I am so sorry to hear your MS is giving you problems and also about buffy...please take care..praying for you .
I am so sorry to hear about your beloved Buffy and your own difficulties at this time too. Sending {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}

Sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking of you x
Oh so sad to hear it. Take care!!!
Sending thoughts and prayers for Buffy.
And for you Brenda, may this time of relaxation bring you comfort and feelings of good health!
I hope things improve! I send you a big hug!
I'm so sorry to hear about your dog.What a terrible time for you. I hope you enjoy the time you have left together.
Dear Brenda, Thoughts, prayers, and reiki for you and beloved Buffy. hugs, eileen
Sorry to hear about Buffy, Brenda. And of course she's not just a dog, she's a much loved companion. One of the first things we did when we got married was buy a dog and in 36 years we've only ever been without one (or more) for a very short time. I hope poor Buffy isn't suffering although I know you wouldn't want to see her suffering just to keep her with you longer.
I'm sure it doesn't help that your own health isn't very good at the moment. I'm glad to see that you have some DT work scheduled but we'll still miss you.
Take care and looking forward to "seeing" you again when you feel better.
Hugs to you and Buffy and the rest of your doggies. I know they'll be upset too.
Kat xx
This is the first time I have visited your blog,your work is beautiful and most certainly inspirational,so sorry for your sad news,here's wishing you brighter days.Hope everyone`s comments inspire you to continue with your beautiful work sometime in the near future.God Bless:) Jacqueline S
So sorry to hear, felt the same way when my cat of 14 years died a couple years ago ~ still miss him a lot, sometimes still feel him next to me in bed... He was such a good support to me too as my own health keeps me sitting at home for the most part. I don't think I'll get a new pet any time soon either, as it's so hard to loose one, kind of your 'baby' isn't it? Wish you both to have a treasured last moments together, and that yourself is feeling better in health ♥ hugs ♥
oh sweet Brenda, I am so terribly sorry to hear about buffy! Our fur babies really are our fur children and family!
I wish you lots of love and peace, take it easy dear!
HUGS
Annmaree xoxo
Sorry to hear about your beloved Buffy...I completely understand, our pets worm themselves deeply into our hearts. Please take care of both of you....warmest wishes, Suzanne :)
I am so sorry for buffy, I too had a dog and I understand.
Bye,
Noemi
So sorry to hear your news Brenda, I will be thinking of you xx
Oh my word Brenda, I am so sorry to hear about your health. And your poor Buffy. I certainly would not say she's just a dog. We get so attached to our wee pets. When my wee Nimbus took a severe reaction to her pussy cat injections, we very nearly lost her. I had her sleeping in the bed with me and Im not talking at the bottom of the bed! She lay on my chest for days and nights on end. I hope Buffy is able to live out the rest of her days pain free and peacefully. Im so sorry Brenda. Hopefully a few weeks break from blogging will give you the rest you need also. My heart goes out to you both and you are in my thoughts. Sending you big hugs. Lee x
So very sorry to hear about Buffy. Treasure that remaining time with her and hope your body will heal, even though you heart will probably break when it is her time to leave. I lost my furry companion nearly 2 years ago and it still hurts. Take care of yourself :)
sorry to hear your news, take care x
so sorry about Buffy,there family, we lost one 2 yrs ago to!, do take care of yourself, your in our prayers!!!
Paula
Aw, Brenda, So sad, am just waiting/dreading for the day when our old cocker spaniel (13+) is gone. she too has been a constant companion for me, especially in the early days when my hubby was away in the Navy alot. She spends most of her time with my 13yr old daughter now! So am truly dreading said day for lots of reasons. Take care of yourself and have lots of lovely cuddles with Buffy. Hugs and love, heidi x
OMG Brenda I am so, so very sorry to hear about Buffy, I know how heartbroken you must feel, my heart is also heavy for both Buffy and you. I will be thinking about you both please take care.
Love & hugs
Lorraine xxxxx
Sorry you are not well and it's so sad about your little dog, pets, they steal your heart and its a teriible loss when they leave us.
Joan
I rarely comment on blogs, but I had to say how sorry I am about your doggy. I sometimes find people hard to deal with, but my pets are my world - they are so uncomplicated and unconditionally loving. Take the time to treasure each moment left with your doggy and I hope that when you return to blogland you are feeling better.
