Two of my friends who had chemo had curly regrowth, but one has now straightened again!My hair is growing back curly
Mine was very curly and ginger. Then curly but less ginger then straight and white and ginger. Now it whiter and going curly. You and actually see the colour change and texture line in the whole head of hair as the drug change happened.

Joy now appears to understand the word 'friend '
I quite often say to her, when we see people and dogs who she likes 'Here are our friends!'
Today as we arrived at the field where we usually meet dogs who she enjoys playing with, I said 'I wonder if we'll see any friends' and she ran off wagging in the direction from which her friends usually arrive, but there was no-one there. Then I saw Mabel, a sweet little Yellow Lab arriving from the opposite direction. I said 'Joy, here's a friend!' and she whirled round, looking the way I was pointing, then went charging off to greet Mabel. I was chatting with Mabel's hoomans as we threw a ball for both dogs. We were talking about what beautiful sunny weather we've been having lately and I said ' I hope it lasts into next week, I have a friend coming to stay and it would be nice to have good weather for walking ' Joy picked up again on 'friend ', looking around as if to see who was arriving now! Such a lovely word for her to understand and aren't our dogs clever?!

Yes! One of Joy's jobs (she has many!) Is to help me with grated cheese (this involves her eating the bits of Parmesan rind that I put in her bowl) She can be asleep upstairs and I only need to say 'I wonder if there's anyone to help with this CHEESE!' ......and sure enough, here she comes, charging downstairs, always ready to help!@Candy what a clever girl

My recently deceased neighbour was called Colin and I only had to say his name and Rourke would get excited. Colin used to phone me and if I said OK, Rourke was instantly up and barking because he knew it was Colin.

Candy Maxx is the same if we say 'Who's coming?' or 'Here's Margo' (his favourite girlfriend) or 'Here's Archie' etc. He whirls around looking in every direction
He understands so many phrases. If it is dentastick time (he reminds us) we say 'fetch your bone' and he goes looking for his black Kong bone. If he can't find it we can say 'it's on the deck' and he charges out the back door and around to the deck to find it. If he brings me a toy and I'm busy I'll say 'take it to Dad' and off he trots to find Steve. Just. So. Clever

No , not where I walk !! It was deer xx
That's so cute! Clever boy Maxx.
I always laugh at the fact that Chewie knows the difference between someone saying his name and someone saying "for Chewie" because the latter means he will be getting something! When he hears that he always perks up a bit, even if it's just his ears.
What made me smile today was my little crazy child, right at bedtime asking me "mummy, mummy, what's gravity?" Omg. The timing.

Sometimes....well, quite often really, there is no lovlier sound in the world than the fire crackling and my GGJ snoring! It makes me smile and gives me a feeling of deep contentment...and if I'm still posting in five minutes time, please send me off to bed!

I've been having a bit of a cleaning frenzy as I have a friend coming to stay today. Yesterday I did downstairs, so today it was upstairs, starting with the bathroom. I had gone over the ceiling ( how do ceilings get dusty?) with what I call 'the tickling stick', which I then put out of the way on the landing while I tackled the rest. Job done, I came out of the bathroom to this!
She does make me laugh!
