Jac I am overjoyed that your little doggo is doing well! That's brilliant news
I had to bail on Tattle for a while too. Long story short, I got rushed to hospital beginning of January and diagnosed with a large uterine mass. Scary
tit, which made me and an ex (a big handsome 35 year old firefighter) realise that we'd been wasting time and that he was actually the love of my life and vice versa. We reunited. Four days before my scheduled total hysterectomy beginning of February he was killed in a motorbike accident. During the first three weeks post surgery I had to visit his body and attend his funeral. Broken doesn't cover it. Couldn't face anything but I think Tattle will be a good distraction now and I wanted to return because there are so many good people here.
ANYWAY back To Jake. Good to see some things never change! Poor little Fred, my heart breaks for him. That Sophie allows this treatment of her son is unbelievable.
