First up, Tinman. Tinny came down for a bit of a break and holiday at my place. I was unfortunately not the greatest of hosts and ended up in hospital. Without even having to ask, Tinny immediately took up the responsibility of looking after Astro and Zsa Zsa. If you have met these two, you would understand what hard work that can be. He also looked after my place as well. In addition, my phone ran out of credit and without telling me, he goes and recharges it. So thanks mate, I really appreciated everything you did.
Now to Laidback. As soon as he found out what had happened, I get a text message saying I'm coming down to look after your pups. He literally downed tools, packed his car, chucked Ralfie in and was here in 5 hours. So A 5 hour drive ....each way...to help me. He then looked after the pups like they were his own, even letting them sleep with him like they do with me. Laidback then offered to stay for a few days when I got out of hospital to make sure I was going to be able to look after myself. A mighty big effort. 10 hours driving and a lot of work looking after the pups first and then me for a few days when I got home. I am immensely grateful to you John. It was such a comfort knowing there was someone I know, love and trust, looking after my furry kids. They miss you and Zsa Zsa misses her little boyfriend.
I wanted to thank these guys publicly even though I have done so several times face to face and over the phone and SMS. I wanted to share with some of the newer members how strong the KSRC family is. As well as these two guys, I have had offers of help from lots of people, Glen and Dave3 in particular. So thank you to all of you, your support and encouragement has been uplifting. For the first time in the three years of this illness, the theft of my car tipped me over the edge and I was pretty grumpy. Your messages, calls and emails have kept me feeling somewhat positive.
cheers
Marty
