Rough week, my baby boy Jynx had to be put to sleep because of Kidney / bladder failure , probably caused by some cat treats /food. I only fed him really good, expensive vet advised food but every night before bed he had some treat or other. He was only 5 and we spent all our time together, he followed me everywhere and sat watching whatever I did. My daughter, son and I got to spend some time with him and he didn’t seem sick at all and kept going to the door trying to get out so we could go home. He heard the vet tech explain how they would put him to sleep and he knew what she was saying, you could feel the panic rise in him and I held him as she started to put the medication into the IV port he started fighting to get loose. Then he relaxed and was gone in a minute, terrible, thing I never want to experience again, I’ll not get another cat now. As I lost my two elderly cats over the last 5 years, one only about 6 months ago, it was easier to let go because they were older and in poor health but Jynx was only 5 and until the day he started crying in pain he’d always been healthy and loving, very playful too. Miss him so much, my daughters older dog has been staying very close to me , trying to keep me company. Take care, enjoy the last of summer, enjoy everyday with Dexter. 🙋🏼‍♀️🥰

I love that sound of the water coming off the propeller, the sound of water is really soothing. I'm also sorry you were a 30sec too early under the bridge there Paul to miss getting the train in your shot as I am a train nut myself and really enjoy the British trains.

Unfortunately not Peter but that would be the coolest thing. Maybe Liam should see what he can do 😂. Have a great weekend ❤

Hi guys, so you may have mentioned before but what does Anthony do for work and does he have to work at the same place all of the time? 👍🏻

Hi Jay. I am a diagnostic radiographer who specialises in Ultrasound. I usually work at one of two places and when we are over an hour away, I tend to sleep over in my van. Hope you have a lovely week ❤️
