Catching up with Kristal

I've been incommunicado for a while due to being between houses and all that that entails: poor internet, living out of boxes, can't find the right clothes to wear etc etc. However, on the fifth attempt to purchase a house (the others having just fallen through) there appeared to be light at the end of the tunnel.  But also at the end of the tunnel was Kristal's departure.

Having endured a phantom pregnancy which delayed her spay operation,  Kristal finally moved on. But before she left us her old flame Sparky came to stay for a weekend and they had a great time together.

Sparky's now 4 years old and Kristal adores him. He was a Guide Dog pup withdrawn from training because he couldn't get his toileting routine to suit requirements. That's come right now, so it's a shame he wasn't used for guide work because he is the most reliable and gentle of dogs.

                                            They had lots of free runs and games of chase.

               
                                  "Last one home's a pussy cat!"

Now Kristal's gone and she's left a huge empty space in our home and our hearts.
Ulric is already waiting in the wings.   Good luck Kristal. Have a happy, happy life.
