Well, thank you everyone! Ian and I are pleased that you're pleased
We have been reading through your lovely messages, and Ian's eyes were leaking so much - he said they needed new washers

Oh, he's not afraid to admit he's emotional!!
He was especially touched that you have all mentioned Blakey in your messages
We are looking forward to Venice - and you can imagine what our main topic of conversation will be while we're away. Too right, we're looking forward to coming back!!
I know that Karen has become very attached to Jess and will no doubt shed a few tears when we come and bring her to her new home

. It takes someone very special to be able to do something like this for Rescue, and I must admit I'd weep buckets! BUT!! On this occasion, it's not going to be 'farewell'

, because Karen, Neil and Bailey very fortunately don't live tooooooo far away!! We will, for sure, be meeting up for walks/swims as often as we can manage

so it's not the end by any means for Karen and Jess!
Here's to 1st May.........
