Really sorry to hear this, Paul, we will be thinking of you here.
Like everyone else has said, if it helps then do it and if for some reason it doesn’t then don’t. Just try and talk to your mates up there in your community when you can, and give the dogs a fuss from us.
Paul I’m so so sorry to hear about Lou - my heart goes out to you mate. Just to echo what everyone else has said if you need to chat then don’t hesitate - we’re here to help where we can.
Truly sorry to hear your sad news Paul, may Lou rest in peace free of the health problems that she has had to endure for so long. Equally may you find some comfort in her absence of pain. My thoughts are with you at this difficult and sad time, sincere condolences my friend.
So sorry for you Paul, as I grow older my very best friends pass away and they are truly missed, now I look at the night sky and there they are, they lit up my life, and like light they keep on trucking and warm the cockles of my heart.
Wish the same for you.
