    @Santosha12 … apologies for the late reply … been away for a couple of days in my 'trigger' city whilst my wife met her transplant team … for when the time comes.

    Apologies to Mr. and Mrs Jones … it 's the eyes in the pics. 😊 They do say dogs take after their owners, maybe explains Ruudy being as mad as a brush 'cos i've spent so much time with him

    It sounds heartbreaking when Mr. jones passed. The sudden realisation. Sometimes words can just be platitudes because they can never touch the real feelings the other person feels

    Animals are capable of so much more perception than we give them credit for, what shines through is your absolute devotion and love to your friends/family and I've no doubt they feel it and feel safe,

    As to your 'future' … I get it. I've always said if it wasn't for my family, well, I'd have quite happily stepped off. I've only had so many 'battles' for them but that's by the by. Until then … let's keep them doubters/ haters p***sed off cos we're still here 😁

    That said, give me animals over most humans any day … I can't watch a donkey advert without crying. We may be the highest up the food chain, but we're certainly not the most evolved compassionate species. Thanks for your kind words, for understanding my thinking in my music

    @Amberpearl … I'm really sorry to hear that. No man or woman has the right to put anyone through that. Never. I'm saddened to hear it still affects you, I just hope you're able to get the help you need/ deserve to keep the memories away.

    And that you can take joy from the lil' ones in your life. The innocents to battle the demons

    Take care

    @Catherine21 … thank you. Maybe it's powerful because we can relate ?

    I don't think any of us with the 'taste for the taste' can say we will never drink again, I know I can't, but I do know I owe it to how far I've come to battle that craving, to give it everything I've got. No matter how much I crave that release. I really didn't like that person. Great on the outside …

    You've got this

    A new song. Still Standing … inspired by people. Talking to an old work mate last week, I haven't seen in years. He told me how he'd been speaking to someone we used to work with, how that person … felt sorry for me because I'm not the man I was. LOL

    You don't need to lift heavy weights to be strong. Not all fighting is about false masculinity. Never judge what you don't understand

    @Santosha12 … ( and other dog lovers) a song about our love for our canine friends

    Always Waiting … only a country tune works with this IMO

    Absolutely no apology needed @WelshBlue, good evening and thank you for your lovely reply and words. I hope that you and your wife are back home safely and that your visit wasn't too difficult or traumatic. It's hard to imagine the uncertainty and strain you both face but I'm thinking of you. I hope your music helps and maybe brings some relaxation for you.

    I especially love the 'Always Waiting' and I don't take for granted you sharing, it's very appreciated and thank you for taking your time to do that 😊; now, I have to say that reminded me of my Jack, my 'soul dog', the amazing little minx attached 😍. He came to me from Everton/rescue on Saturday 12th January 2002 and somewhat 'fittingly', passed on 12th January 2016 aged 15+ in my arms peacefully at my vets. I'd took his tape machine which had his two favourite tunes to play 'My Heart will Go On' and 'I Will Love You for A Thousand Years', I'd not appreciated quite how long they played for (c 7/8 minutes 🤭😂) which made a solemn, very sad moment ever so slightly amusing. My vet really must have thought omg how long is this playing for 🫢🤭😁 but fair play to him, kept a straight face ha ha. Jack would have liked it anyway!!

    This photo was his first day with me and I always tend to think it's a slightly self-satisfied look, I like to think he knew he (and his mum, Minnie) had well and truly, landed on their feet. We moved home twice and weren't far from Delamere Forest he used to love laying down under the extremely tall trees, gazing up. Nearer the end he had to lay in his 4 wheel 'all terrain' stroller, but always with his tape machine playing his tunes. Very special years with a very special, never to be forgotten boy.

    Funny enough, I've got to go back to my home city (not local to me) in June for a scan at the MRI, first time back in 'town' for a few years and since mum passed away so mixed feelings about that. It all feels a bit irrelevant now as I'm unlikely to have surgery but I'll go through the motions/keep a bit open minded, my consultant knows my view, anything that could compromise me caring for my dogs is not happening. Anyway, I'll wait and see. Thank you again for the music 🎶 🎵. Jack the munchkin attached.
