Today was mum's 2nd birthday celebration ... she's obviously getting a bit like the Queen in her old age and now has to celebrate her birthday twice!! We had a lovely evening at my sister's house ... nice food and a cake Sis made by herself!!!

And it was good to see a real smile on Mum's face too!!

We went for a walk along the beach in Littlehampton where Sis lives and it's the first time I've ever been down there. I was quite surprised at how NICE the beach was! It's very much an "unspoiled" area of beach with sand dunes and real sand! Certainly worked up an appetite for CAKE anyway!!

The kids had a great time - it was good to actually get them off their backsides and out into the fresh air!

Pics of Rosie Dog

Went for a lovely walk on the beach earlier with mum and the dogs to get some pics of Rosie. Her coat isn't as glossy and the shine has gone from her eyes, but other than being slower than usual ... she seems fine! It's almost hard to believe that mum has been told Rosie won't make it more than a couple of weeks now. One thing is for sure that dog is getting royally spoiled at the moment ... half a chicken for her dinner apparently, so at least she has a good appetite!!
