Bertie’s breeder has been in touch, would I like to meet her this week? We decided on the 25 March, the day before I take my last chemo pills, so it will be a very special  treat.

Honestly, Bertie looks like such a snugglebum – I’m in love and also a bit terrified. I hope she likes me; I will have to cover myself in bacon grease for the visit, just to ensure she loves me! How will I survive driving home without her that day? Although, I suppose if we are still aiming for the beginning of April to bring her home, I have limited time left to enjoy lie ins and PJ days – time to be a grown up again, well, almost!
