The lovely posts by the equally lovely sgamadison reminded me about my long abandoned '100 Days of Happy', & so here's something that makes me very, very happy:
My little baby Bud running through the bluebell woods! ♥




Considering how poorly he's been & his ongoing medical issues, it's wonderful to see him enjoying life to the full.
I love my boy so much. ♥

Mmmm, coming home after walking with Bud on a wet, wintery day to a lovely cup of tea & a warm croissant. ♥
Happy, happy, happy!

I'm at my sewing machine in the office, looking out onto our garden.  Bud is lying nearby, snoozing loudly.
My heart is bursting with happiness! ♥

This is Sid. ♥





He's our gardener's little dog, & he comes to our house once a week to help his dad out. *g* (Sid basically spends the afternoon chilling in the garden, chasing frogs around the pond & being adorable.)
Bud & Sid get on okay - they're not huge friends but they have a sniff & say hello & then both get on with their own very important business!

Even when he plods muddy paws through the house, my baby Bud still makes me happy! ♥

I'm getting packed to go away for my annual writing weekend.
I've known this group of lovely ladies for years & years, & this is always a fun time.
I'm not an active writer anymore - I just about manage to write my requisite story for the weekend - but I still love discussing writing, characters, plot development, etc.  Plus, I just love spending time with friends!
So, this definitely a 'happy'! *g*

I hope everyone else has a lovely weekend, too!
*hugs*

It's been a while since I last posted, but I wanted to let everyone know that Bud's doing okay.  He still has problems caused by the IBD (& I think this might be the best he gets now) but he's managed to regain some of his weight & is no longer anaemic.  Most importantly, he's happy & still able to enjoy life - just at a slightly slower pace & with more naps (if that's even possible!)
We took him for a week's holiday in Suffolk last month, staying in a lovely little cottage, & he really enjoyed himself.

Here's Bud enjoying a romp through the bluebell wood this morning!

Woohoo!  After several months of looking (& getting fairly disheartened) we've finally found a really lovely bungalow & they've accepted our offer!
The legal wheels are now in motion (we got a huge pile of documents to read, fill in & return this morning) & hopefully things will run fairly smoothly & we should be moving in a couple of months. *fc*

The property is being flipped by a developer, & so everything has been refurbished - new wiring, plaster, windows, doors, bathroom, kitchen, boiler, central heating - it's like a brand new home. I'm actually so relieved as I really didn't fancy taking on any big reno projects. *g*
It's in a really pretty village that is a little farther out into the countryside than where we are now, & there are lots of lovely walks for us to explore with Bud.  We really love where we live now, & so it had to be the 'right' place to tempt us to leave.  And being on one level means no more stairs for Bud to climb! Yay!

I know that nothing is definite until the contracts are exchanged, etc, but I'm so happy about this! \o/

We took Bud to the beach again this weekend - this time to Barmouth in Wales.
It was a glorious, big, sandy beach & we all had a fabulous time. I love us spending time as a family like this.
