I love this quote: "For about three days she walked round with an astonished look on her face..." I'll bet she did! I'll bet she's a bit more careful around those cliffs in the future, too, no matter how fascinating the bird might be. Jill |

They were going down to a beach when Cassie decided to jump over a small wall, because she was happy and she could. She fell 100 feet. My mother hardly dared look, she was certain she would be dead. She wasn't, just a bit bruised and saying "I meant to do that.." My mother was always more careless than I was. I'd have had Cassie on the lead until I got to the beach but she always thought dogs had more sense than I knew they had. I bought that dog for her as a puppy. I wanted to tell her off for it but I knew that seeing Cassie falling over the wall down the cliff would be enough that I would not need to mention it ever again. Tweed |

Still sneezing, still scaring me with her up and down appetite but still with us. There was a bit of sun on Saturday. I could not find her. She had gone into the conservatory, jumped from the vegetable rack on to the freezer , leapt onto the puppy crate thingies hanging on the wall, hung from her claws to get up the wire on them to get to where the sun was. She has no intention of leaving us just yet. She's amazing. She puts two claws up to the vet, but it has to be acknowledged that between us it's not easy to keep her going. Tweed |

She will tell me when she's had enough and we will both know when it is. It's not when she can climb 8 feet to catch a few rays. I've never got my camera charged up to take a pic of her crawling up claw by claw on the wire when she sees a ray of sunshine she can get to. I do wish you could all see that. Tweed |

No, I don't think it is. I really can't get over that, it's so remarkable.
