<DIV>Eleri has been trying to send this post but the e-mail system in France has
been bouncing it. She asked that I forward it for her.</DIV>

<DIV>Bone-jour, Miss Penny & Miss Polly woofin' in from across the waves in
France.<BR><BR>Tis MOI, Miss Polly, the dizzy one but I suppose I have to grow
up sometime, so<BR>here I am doing the writing today <sigh>.<BR><BR>We
wrote to Georgie when we heard about the sad news of Miss Beckie but
our<BR>email bounced back due to her inmail box being full. Da mum is
worried about<BR>Georgie. Is anyone in vocal contact with her? Do any
droolers live near her?<BR>Anyone any idea how to get in touch with her?
Thank you.<BR><BR>We are in the UK at the moment because da mum's dad (our
grandpa) is not doing<BR>so well with his big C, so we are here to visit
him. He is in a nursing home at<BR>the moment and they have pet therapy
visitors there. Yesterday we actually had<BR>to WORK !!!! We were
roped in to going round visiting patients. It was not too<BR>bad - we got
plenty of cuddles but NO FOOD !!!!! Hmmm, wonder if we'll have to<BR>do that
again? If so, I reckon we need a representative to negotiate our
terms<BR>- one cuddle = a nickzillion biscuits. What do you
reckon?<BR><BR>I should explain why I am writing. Big sis Miss Penny is a bit
sad. She had very<BR>bad news yesterday. Her daughter, Valrhona (who came
to stay with us a couple<BR>of years ago, remember? She was on our
christmas card that year), had been sick<BR>(throwing up sick, that is) for a
few days. We were on our way up to the UK and<BR>we visited her. She
had tummy tortion a few months back and has had problems<BR>ever since. Da
mum told her da mum to go back to the vet's and get MORE info.<BR>Bloods were
okay and da mum thought maybe she had something blocking her throat<BR>or
somewhere stopping the food going down. Anyways, Valrhona went back to
the<BR>vet's and he sent her to a speshullist who uses a camera thing to have a
look -<BR>like they use for pregnant ladies. It's callled an echographie
in French, but<BR>we don't know the English word. Anyways, the end result
is that nothing can be<BR>done for Valrhona as she has all her stomach muscles
and things that don't work<BR>any more. This is due to poisoning.
The vet man said it was sulphates. Next<BR>door to Valrhona's house there
are peach trees and the farmer sprays them (from<BR>a plane) with sulphate to
kill the bugs and things. Some probably landed on the<BR>grass in her
garden and she ate it. The vetman also said that there was nothing<BR>he
could do to save Valrhona and it will probably end up attacking the
nervous<BR>system. He said that is why people get Alzheimers!<BR><BR>We
are wondering if we are ever going to eat fruit again!<BR><BR>Hugs and lurps to
you all. We are sorry that we are not on the drool more often<BR>but
things are very difficult here at the moment. We are travelling
backwards<BR>and forwards from France to the UK all the time.<BR><BR>Miss Penny
and Miss Polly<BR><BR></DIV></FONT><br/><font style="color:black;font:normal 10pt arial,san-serif;"> <hr style="margin-top:10px"/>Why pay full price? <a href="http://shopping.aol.com/?ncid=emlcntinstor00000001">Check out this month's deals on the new AOL Shopping</a>.</font></DIV></BODY></HTML>
