Wow, the year is half gone!

This year has been quite a roller coaster health wise and immigration wise. After many months of paperwork, medicals etc, we have the final immigration interview in September. Keep everything crossed!My health has been crap as usual.I have now been diagnosed with Crohn's disease, another one to add to the pile. The dogs have also had a rough year. We lost Willy cat about a month ago to a mauling by two dogs. I imagine he went to make friends and the mongrels attacked. Poor baby had a broken neck and back. He is now buried beneath our deck, where he played most. Buddy has peri-anal tumors, but they are non cancerous so we can only monitor them. Dinky and Max have both suffered from flea allergies and we have tried everything. Furby is just nuts. Snoopy, Lucy and Looney cats have all been okay, and for the most part, the year has been steady. Hoping for a better second half for sure!!
