Hi all

Went to see granddad at the weekend, along with the dog...not been for a few
weeks cos i had bronchial pneumonia (haha cold with a cough i guess and
smoking 60 a day didnt help)

Hes fine, eating well...didnt notice any downhil with him, seemed his normal
self, was happy to see me and the dog, and the dog was happy to pop too.
spent a hour with him watching tv and reading.

Dont like him just sat there, doing nothing..he wasnt the type to sit and do
nothing, but it was nice to hug and lay on his arm like i did as a kid..

He didnt realise i hadnt been for 3 weeks, which i guess was normal, but he
thanked me for going, which i dont like, i dont do it like i feel i must, i
do it cos i love him..

Did have a bad dream the other week, that he and the dog both died..so was
relived to see him and things are fine. He says he is living the life of
riley, and happy but wish i could do more for him.

I think, i will get a foto of the Arthur the dog printed out and in a little
frame and give it to him for his room, he has one, which i gave him many
years ago...none of me though, that would give him nightmares too!!

Btw i became the father to 12 baby snakes the other week....so cute...well
known US type snake.

I actually rescued a really old female about 3 years ago, she was so old me
and a expert said she had about a year left (she was 11 according to the
previous owner), anyway 3 years on shes going strong and been in with a
young male which i rescued about 4 years ago. She laid eggs last year, which
i didnt find in time, but she laid 12 this year..and all hatched a couple of
months ago, and all are feeding..

I sold them to the local pet shop, which was good cos it cleared a debt i
owed.

A Bairds rat snake if anyone has heard of them.

Oh yeah, the dogs ok too.  Still as ugly and smelling though, bit like his
owner haha
