I think you will find William does talk about his mother but it is when the occasion demands it. It would be weird if he didn’t but it is not a hatchet job but with love and affection. He needs to do this for the sake of his own children because if he doesn’t, his children will find Harry’s distorted views becoming the facts.
When will this 'little prince' recognize that the person who exposed him the most to the press and the paparazzi during his childhood was his beloved mother!
Did you hear Elle has cancer and refusing radio or chemo and going for natural treatment. I wish her the very best. How is your ankle doing Shauna sip! The consultant story was so funny 🤣 Sip! Great evening with you Thanks❤
I adored my beloved husband when I lost him 5 months before our 50th wedding anniversary. The thought of letting another man in my life actually horrifies me. I am very much past it at 73!!! Imagine having to get used to another person in my space after 3 years of being alone. Eeeck
@@anniketimmermans1900 I lost my husband a few weeks short of our 50th 2 years ago. I am now near 77y/o and wouldn’t wish to start all over again.😥🤦♀️🙅♀️🇦🇺
@@MelodyeSartori I lost the love of my life 3 years ago and even though I am in my early sixties I am not interested in another relationship. He is still my great love and will always be my great love.
Harry has monopolized the memory of his mother in a way that has become obscene and disturbing to an exhausting degree! he will not win back the sympathy he lost from people, no matter how many times he mentions her name! exactly the opposite, people got tired of the 12 year old in the body of a 40 year old! give it up Harry !
Shauna, as a gay man I never thought you were trans-phobic. But there is so much hate being directed at our community we are over sensitive. As a 57 year old gay man I understand why. My generation fought for equality; that’s all we wanted. This generation wants special treatment, rebuilding society around them and their needs. Why? Being lgbtq is not a handicap.
I'm so glad you shared, and your sentiment is one I have heard quite a bit. As a friend and supporter of the LGTBQ community I fear the emphasis on preference over equality could result in regression for all. I hope that isn't the result!
@grantuspeace3230 My (gay) friend often says if she would have realized what this generation would have done with the rights she fought so hard for, she never would continue the fight...... the woke agenda has gone to far imo
Me too. I parted ways with my ex in 1995 but did not formally divorce till 2000. Was very fortunate to have a fantastic job so did my best to raise my children well, send them to good schools and universities. No support from natal family but life went on. I was too busy to think of anything else but my family and my career.
There’s no way that Harry would be invted back into a working role by the RF, no matter what the public thought. It is astonishing that Harry would think that the public might want him back.
I’m wondering if he is just putting these stories about in order to judge public opinion by reading comments on line. Once he realises everyone dislikes him intensely then a new story comes out a few days later telling us all how happy he is in the US and doesn’t want to come back
I don’t think Harry is giving any thought about whether the British public wants him back. He doesn’t give a toss about what they want. If he wants to come back, it’s all about what he gets out of it from his father. It’s all about himself.
I was with a narcissist for 25 years. I'm now on my own, have been for 10 years, and have no interest in another relationship. I didn't realise or know anything about narcissists at the time. I'm free 😂😂❤🇦🇺
Hi Cynthia, I’m exactly the same as you, after 35 years married to a bossy narcissist I free and have been for over 10 years. Being alone is so relaxing now. Shauna is such a joy to listen to, isn’t she.
My mother’s neighbour had a stroke and her dog laid beside her for hours, until she was discovered. She died and her nephew wasn’t interested in the dog. My mum thought he’d be great for us and our two little girls and she was right. Buster was wonderful with the children and we were heart broken when he died thirteen years later. We are now on our forth bearded collie , all thanks to this wonderful shaggy dog.
My husband and I found a dog on the side of the highway. She was in bad shape like she had escaped from a bad situation. Emaciated and had a deep gash on her side, exposing her mammary gland. We also suspect she had just had puppies (we couldn’t find them and it had gotten below freezing the nights before…) We took her to the vet and they fixed her up, we got her some weight on. She was a dachshund/doberman/lab mix, or a “Big Weenie Dog” if you will. She had such a great temperament, very well mannered. She passed away at the age of 13 in December 2022. She was the best dog. Her name was Honey.❤
I have a beautiful jack russell rescue. She has just a touch of chihuahua. My son was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago, after several severe seizures. This dog knows when he is about to seize and will alert me.And when he stops breathing she goes and licks his mouth and nose to stimulate him and then backs off when he gasps. Its amazing such a smart dog
The Hospice I worked for always worked at placement of our clients animals as they progressed. My patient had a Jack Russell and he wanted me to take her. We did take her when he went into a nursing home when he could no longer manage alone at home. We took Penny to visit him at the nursing home. She was a joy to us, and we were broken hearted when she became ill and passed away. We also got my MIL Chug when she passed. Dinky and Penny were great friends and Dinky grieved Penny's loss.
I have epilepsy and my dogs when I came round were lying either side of me. Before I took one they use to put their heads on my knees I would lye on the floor. Unfortunately they are no longer with me,I have split my head broke my nose three times truthfully I can’t remember all the injuries, I send my love to you.
Harry got caught trying to weasel his way back into the Royal Family and now he is back peddling fast. Personally I think he wants money and the full security and that’s all. No intention of making amends with his family.
I somewhat disagree only because I think Harry believes he does want to make amends, he just defines "making amends" as "they apologize to us and give us exactly what we want and welcome us completely." Which of course is not how any sane person defines making amends (and the true definition he has no intention of doing).
In 2010 our next door neighbours moved out and left their 10 month old pup behind alone. So i took her in , hoping to find a good home for her. My late husband wasn't very enthusiastic. I couldn't find anyone I felt would give her the love she needed so we kept her. My husband passed away in 2017 and poor Mimi missed him. She looked for him until a year later i moved, with her and my 2 cats, to sheltered accomodation. She was my companion until last November when she had a stroke and I had to have her euthanized. One cat, who was devoted to her, sat near her body until it was taken away. We were married 60 1/2 years and Mimi was a great help and consolation. I'm 88 so i can't have another dog, it wouldn't be fair. But my old cat, he's around 20 does his best.
What a lovely story. I don’t know how people can just leave an animal behind like that. You could perhaps adopt a senior dog. Unfortunately some real seniors end up in shelters and it’s so, so sad.
We rescued a Pekingese. He was perfect! His little teeth were all ascue, and he couldn't walk when we first got him because he had been in a cage from birth. He was 5 months old. We named him Wookie, and I can not tell you how many times he had all of us laughing until we cried. There was just something extra special about him. He was so sweet, and he didn't bark at all. It was as though he didn't know how. We were blessed to have him for 15 years, and he was healthy and happy until the actual day he passed, April 13, 2023. He is sorely missed and greatly loved.
For over 30 years my husband and I had dogs. By the time the last dog died, hubby had become completely disabled so we decided not to get another pet. The day after hubby's funeral I was at the animal shelter to adopt. Best decision to help with grief.
My aunt woke up one night and saw her father who had been dead for several years, standing at the foot of the bed. He had on a gold colored shirt that he often wore. Then he just disappeared . She decided to get up and walked by the bedroom door across the hall just as a ball of fire fell into one of the twin beds. Their house was on fire! She awakened everyone and they all got out safely but the house burned to the ground. She swears to this day that my Grandpa woke her up to warn her!
After hearing Elle Macpherson claiming she “cured” her breast cancer holistically I don’t ever want to hear another word about her. She is misleading many women and giving unsound advice. 😡
Wonder if King Charles is doing the same as we have no idea what treatment he is having but for years, he has been preaching holistic medicine as an alternative and got the NHS to include some. Because I can tell you now, belief that in any treatment working for you is a huge part of recovery.
@@bridiesmith5110 my husband has cancer and we have treated holistically along with the chemo therapy and the stem cell transplants he has had. Science is undeniable, at the same time I ride his butt to eat “clean” (he hates veggies 😩) and to take many vitamins including Curcumin which in some trials has shown promise with his type of cancer. He has had Multiple Myeloma for 13 years now and is currently in remission. I’m sure King Charles is intelligent enough to combine the holistic approach along side the scientifically proven drugs that have saved many a life. 💜
Sip sip to you Shauna! Thank you for another Gossip before bed! H&M are so tiresome with their media games. They've become so transparent, their efforts are making people dislike them more in my opinion. The constant attacks while hiding behind his mother and their perpetual victimhood is infuriating!!!
He is jealous of his own mother's fame and how much she was loved, I think he wants that for himself but knows that he's not going to ever get it 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Grifter!!!
My girl friend lost her husband and got another dog … and then got another husband who also got another dog after his first wife passed. The dogs fell in love with each other at the dog park.
My rescue dog story. I’m sorry this is so long. And I’m not sure why I’m even telling this. Our first dog was 3 years old when I saw another one that kind of looked like our boy on a rescue site in another town and province. After some interesting back and forths, we got the little lady a month or so later. She was about 18 months (I think she might have been a bit younger) when we brought her home. She was emaciated and petrified. She hid under the bed, behind the couch and chair and only snuck out to eat and drink. She hoarded food for the rest of her life. That little girl became the love of my life and part of my soul. I don’t know how it happened, we already had her brother that we loved so very very much, but she became my best friend. I don’t know why she “picked” me and not her “dad” but she was my girl from the beginning. She watched me, she followed me, she pulled plants when I planted them, she barked a lot but when I ran out on the deck and said enough, she would smile at me, literally smile at me, and come waddle-running up the ramp we built for both dogs to see me with this literal smile on her face. We faced three separate slipped discs and a couple of bouts of pancreatitis with her. We had her for ten full years. She died from very sudden liver failure one evening. We rushed her to the vet that evening on the long weekend and I kept looking into her eyes and saying, “You tell God that your mama says you are the best little girl ever” over and over until her eyes closed. She was part of my soul somehow. She didn’t have a good start in life but she was beloved by daddy and mommy and her older brother. Her brother looked for her for about a year. I still grieve for her and now very recently, we have a new grief for her brother who just passed at 14 1/2 years. Talk about an empty home. Talk about my empty life. They were with me all day every day of their lives and rescued me from a very deep depression. I am better but they are gone. Weird I am telling you this, but you asked about dog stories and somehow I wanted to explain about a little kinda ugly misshaped little girl who saved me after I saved her. I held her brother when the time came recently and told him to run and look for her because she would be waiting to play with him. They were my hearts.
I have read all the dog stories here and yours touched me deeply. How kind and BRAVE of you to share your deepest feelings. I sincerely hope that when the time is right you will have another little soul to share with your big-hearted self ♡ Please take care of yourself X
@@annmariewraight871 I believe you are the lady I misunderstood before. Thank you for understanding my story. Even re-reading it brings me pain and more tears. And I lived it 😞. I think I need to explain things that probably have lessened my understanding and humour quotients a bit right now. My little girl passed suddenly and we were both devastated as they were “our” kids, so to speak. My husband got cancer (how does a person get cancer, do you suppose?). Dealt with the treatments and he retired in there somewhere. It becomes a blur. Thirteen days after the last treatment, June 13th, he had a heart attack here at home. Because of the heart attack, he now cannot have the double knee replacement that he needs so badly, so he is in constant pain but cannot have the particular medication that works the best for it … because of the heart attack. Then my beautiful little boy died one day not long ago and again we were shattered. In the midst of all this, a long planned two floor renovation began with us living here throughout. Neither of us are that funny these days 🤷♀️. But let me apologize again for jumping to conclusions. I don’t think I usually do, but I’m afraid “usually” isn’t working right now. Unfortunately, I also understand trauma in childhood. I would hug you for yours, and offer you a safe place if I could. I really would. I did unsubscribe here as I felt bad about my misjudgement. I will reconsider. Thank you for your listening and understanding. Like I said before, it’s weird I even said anything anywhere. ❤️
@@vdekkc How strange life works! Sometimes brutal and sometimes miraculous. I'm deeply moved by your love of your babies and concern for your husband. I wish I could give you a long and loving bear hug. Then go to some quiet place in nature and sit with you. You have moved me more than anybody or anything for quite a while, lovely person 💙 Strange considering we began our acquaintance here with a misunderstanding ... but I really wish I could hug you now... About your husband - I will ask my son if he can give any medical advice. I don't know where you are based but in some places it is very difficult to get direct health care/advice without going through an exhausting process. Too many brutal things have been piled on you both in too short a space of time. You must feel you are trapped under a suffocating avalanche. I pray that snow melts quickly and the sun shines through to warm you both XX I really believe that ' a problem shared is a problem halved' - maybe not practically but certainly psychologically and emotionally. THANK YOU for being vulnerable and sharing your grief. I believe most of us have experienced deep sadness and I think you have touched others who have read your story. I think you wrote your story because you needed to. I hope you have a dear person you can confide in who can give you those hugs that you both so deserve X Please don't leave Shauna's amazing community - I WILL MISS YOU! 💙
Shauna 9 years after my divorce l did internet dating and met a man from my home town who told me he was a widower 🤔 My best friend knew him and his very much alive wife! The look on his face when we met at a mutual friends funeral was priceless, even more so when his wife and l spoke to each other! I think his underwear might have turned an interesting shade 🤣
Out dogs are all rescues. We live next to a church where people dump their dogs. We have 6 fenced in acres for dogs to run and play. Everytime we get a 7th dog, one of ours dies. 2 of our dogs came on december 8th of different years...and each one year old at the time they were dumped. I suppose they were last years christmas present that just didnt work out and they dumped them😢. We spay and neuter all our rescues and they are the best dogs. They are very well connected to each other and their people family. My oldest rescue is almost blind, almost deaf and almost 22 years old. All the dogs dote on her. My 18 year old dog is diabetic and takes insulin twice daily. When i go to work, i put the television on for them and they are angels all day. No therapy needed in this house. We are all loved unconditionally.❤
I’m heading for eighty and had 57 wonderful years with my first and only love. For me he was it and always will be. So no training for either myself or a partner. 🇦🇺🦘🐨💐❤️
Dear Shauna, Have been married to the most loving, wonderful, and smart man for 60 years. He has from the beginning loved me exactly for who I am. He has been a caring father to our grown children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. No way any man could ever live up to him.❤
I first saw one of my dogs, a beautiful border collie, around 10 months old when he knocked over my dustbin and was rifling through it. I shoed him away. New to this small Welsh village I asked a few neighbours who he belonged to, one of them told me he was a stray, that someone had driven to the village and dumped him, he was a pest and he was going to shoot him. Already having a dog and being eight months pregnant I decided to catch him and take him to a recue centre. Within a day I realised that was never going to happen, Jake as we named him was a joy for the whole family for the next 12 years.
Comment to the loss of a loved one. I lost my husband of almost 44 years in 2020. He was my life and my best friend. It was very sudden and unexpected. I can't imagine finding another to fill his shoes. I have awesome family and friends to fill my time. And I am also comfortable with my own company. Reading and crocheting and travel fill my time. I miss him everyday, but sharing stories and memories with family and friends eases the emptiness that sometimes creeps in. Love your show and the sharing of stories, because it makes the community feel more like family.
I know your pain, and commend you on your fortitude and independence. We honour our loved ones every day that we engage positively with the life that they lost so suddenly. We are who we are because of them, and through us, they are, in some small way, still here, and still part of the world.
@thevintageread thank you. As with any marriage, we had our rough patches, but I always knew he loved me, and I loved him. Marriage is hard work, and unfortunately, it seems not many are willing to put in the effort these days.
My mom feels the same after 53 years- this August would have been their 60th. For my mom, no one will ever compare to him or can fill his shoes…. She has family, support, friends, etc…. We travel with her- and she cherishes the memories and time she had with him & is glad she was able to ride through the up/downs together 😇👍👍💙
With that long, there's a large part of you that was formed around/by that person and no one else will fill that exact place because they're not ever really gone. I'm sorry for your loss and wish you all the happiness going forward! ❤️
my husband died of MND, quite shocking and only 60, 15 years on now, I can never imagine being with anyone else. It would have been our wedding anniversary tomorrow, I will be alone, just with memories, as every day, but with lovely grandchildren, somehow I manage simply sharing silly stuff about him to them, it keeps us together and the grandchildren feel they knew him just a bit.
My dog bear is 14 next month. His 48.8kg german sheo. X rhodesian ridgeback. He beats me to bed each night. Knows which side is his. Tells me breakfast time, 12noon is lunch, 4pm dinner. He comes and nudges me to get up and feed him. Will also go outside, come in and sit at pantry for a treat. Will even nudge the container that there in..
I'm sure you're right. He only had 13 years with her, and once he went to boarding school at 8, they spent relatively little time together, and even less after the separation, when the boys had to divide their time between each parent.
I think this is another source of Harry's anger. He hates himself for forgetting her, no longer remembering what she looked or sounded like, unless reminded by photos or films. No wonder Meghan ensnared him so easily - she wore his mother's favorite perfume. Harry is also angry that his mother left him, and he is angry that he refused to speak to her on the phone the night she died. He may even be angry that William was her confidant (never mind the tremendous, unfair burden that put on young William). Harry was the playmate; William was the companion. Harry is such a mess. He really needs psychiatric help. Unfortunately, like everything else in his life, Harry hasn't stuck with it. He said in Spare that he had his counsellor on speed dial. No mention of regular, in-depth sessions.
@maryireland4253 Exactly as I've come to believe! He's angry at her for leaving and angry at himself for being angry at her and angry at William for coping better and angry at his father for moving on and angry at Camilla for obvious reasons and angry at Catherine for taking Diana's place/bearing her legacy in some ways and I think even beginning to be angry at Meghan for not being able to bear Diana's legacy the way he expected. He's a very angry and confused man who has unfortunately never dealt with any of it in a healthy way. I also think his memories of his mother are distorted into some sort of inhuman perfection as a coping mechanism and it's not serving him well anymore. I do feel bad for him about half the time. He really, really needs help and Meghan ain't it.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 re your question. I lost my husband of 23 yrs to cancer at age 46. Tried dating and found that there seem to be no good men left. Both of them turned out to be jerks who cheat. Now at 63 yrs i find i dont have the energy for the drama...
Hello, Shauna! An elderly male colleague once told me (when I was in my 50’s) that the ONLY thing men want from a relationship after 50, is a “…nurse or a purse.” I was surprised and thought his assessment [and warning!] was very cynical and misleading. A couple of decades later, I have witnessed many relationships that reflect his declaration: Unhappy couples staying together because of FINANCES with NO other “relationship” between them, and/or unhappily taking care of their partner’s health and/or physical impairment needs and RESENTING them because of that. The few decades-long partnership’s that have remained IN LOVE with, and/or respectful, of, one another, are extremely rare, in my experience. They do exist, however, and I am grateful to see them remaining supportive and helpful to the other, until their deaths, do, part them. “A NURSE or a PURSE.” Maybe there was a bit of truth in that statement, sadly, but I’ve also seen “true LOVE” triumph over that dismal outcome for couples, thank goodness.
Dog Story - When I was 15, in 1973, (you do the math), I told my parents I wanted a Saint Bernard. They told me to earn half the cost and they would contribute the rest. Back then a Saint cost $150.00 and that was a lot of babysitting hours! Before my parents knew it, I came up with $75.00! And I have owned a Saint ever since! XXOO, from the Texas Hill Country
My buddy TBone. This was Jimmy's first dog. We were shopping at PetSmart and they had a dog adoption going on. Jimmy saw this young but large golden retriever/great pyrenes dog in a small cage and fell in love, or pity, I'm not sure which. We took him for a walk and bonded with him immediately. Loved his floppy ears and curiosity. So we loaded him up in the car and headed home to meet his brother Howie (great pyrenes). It took a couple of days, but they got along great. All that was left was to name him. Yes, you guessed it, he stole Jimmy's T-bone steak that night. I love that dog. He never failed to bring a smile on our faces.
After the media speculation on his marriage, Rod Stewart issued a statement. He admitted that his LA home had been up for sale, but as his whole family had such a wonderful holiday there, they decided to keep the property. He does live in England & there is no trouble in his marriage to Penny.
Your mention of the standard poodle rescue reminded me of a date I had a few years back when I had tried online dating (lasted 4 dates but that’s another story!) I went to pick up this one fellow, he offered a drink before going out to dinner and went to kitchen. I was sitting on his sofa when in comes this beautiful huge standard poodle to sit down in front of me. Then came another, and another and another….😂 5 in all! They definitely took a shine to me. By the time he came back in, two were sitting on the sofa beside me, leaning in, two had their heads in my lap, and the last was trying to sit on me😂. He was a widower and they really missed their mom I guess! We didn’t click, but I liked his dogs… sip!
I married at 18. He was a control freak and violent, coersive control, virtually a prisoner in my own home. I left him at 32 but met my current husband at 46. We met online and he worked out in the mines in far SW Qld so by the time we married 6 months later we'd only spent 40 days together. Happiest 20 years ❤
Good morning Shauna!! So, three weeks ago I adopted a 9 yr old, very overweight “jackabee”. A Jack Russell/ beagle mix. He’s lovely and set in his ways, but the best thing about him is that he loves to sleep in :). Perfect for my days off. Also, yesterday marked our three weeks together, and it was the first time I had heard him bark. Just a little bark, but I didn’t think he had it in him 😂 Love this program!!
I took a beagle x foxhound rescue who had been abused. She was terrified of everyone and everything. My family just gave her a lot of love and we were rewarded by her loving us back. She became the most friendly dog but remained fearful of the garden hose. In her later years she developed a cancer and died. I cried buckets. Previous to that we had a beautiful corgi, who was a wonderful family dog. He died way too early, when a scrub tick got him. We took him to the vet but he had a heart attack from the tick poison. Many tears for him too.
Married 35 years, divorced for 10 years. No way would I start THAT rigamarole again! Yes Shauna, you DO have to break them in and it's a lengthy period 🤣
Rescuing a dog is so rewarding, but agree you need the right dog at the right time for you! Winston sounds perfect! My rescue puppy was found dumped with his siblings to die in the snow in Japan. Our friends found the little puppies close to death while hiking up a mountain. Our neighbours were too shy to talk to us before we got him, but after always stopped to chat & invited us over for dinner. He lived the best life with us for 17 years & when we brought him back to Australia, everyone thought he was a dingo, which again stopped people to ask about him! Dogs open up friendships, language barriers & experiences. Thanks for the laughs, as always. Sip!
Good morning Shauna. I am also not transphobic ... live and let live is my life philosophy. That being said, however, I will not accept being sidelined as less than a transphobic woman because I am a biological woman. We are living in a distopian world. All reason appears to be absent and as for common sense...it is totally missing. That is one of the many reasons I follow your vlogs...you exhibit plenty of reason and common sense. Thank you. Cheers and sip from Canada 🇨🇦
Agree. It seems we have not yet found a way, socially or legally, of reconciling mutually exclusive perspectives; instead, we pick the one that in some way carries more weight, and force the other to submit to it. In UK some years ago a Christian couple who ran a B&B politely refused a gay male couple a room with a double bed, as it was not compatible with the Christian couple's religious beliefs. They offered the gay couple a double room with twin beds instead, but were indignantly rejected, and subsequently were taken to court for discrimination. They lost the case, and lost their business as a result. Effectively, their religious beliefs were considered less important than a gay couple's rights to impose their lifestyle choice on other people in their own home. I have always suspected that at least part of the reason for the verdict was because being Christian is not remotely cool or trendy nowadays, whilst being gay very much is - no disrespect to either party intended - and went with the populist view. My point is, surely the court should have recognised that it was a case of an irresistible force meeting an unmoveable mountain, and declined to get involved. The gay couple were disrespecting the Christians just as much as they claimed the Christians were disrespecting them. Sometimes there cannot be a winner, and people simply have to agree to differ, and move on. Whilst trans women must be allowed to live their lives in safety and with respect, they are not and cannot ever be true women. True women have the equal, and opposing, right to not be forced into intimate contact with someone of another biological sex, regardless of what gender they have chosen to adopt.
Being a widow, during the pandemic, I became quite depressed not being able to see family members without practicing extreme caution. I had dearly loved three cats that had passed away over a period of several years. One day, my son showed up at my door with a 5 yr. old dog he had adopted. I told him how happy I was for him, only to be told the dog was for me. Etta James, a standard French Bulldog, has been a most wonderful companion and she has lifted me out of my depression and brought so much joy into my life. She’s always by my side. I do love all animals and actively fight for release of wildlife, especially elephants, in captivity.
We’ve adopted all kinds of kitties and pups throughout the years. As a nurse in home health we ended up adopting several senior cats and dogs from my patients who could no longer care for their pets and unfortunately their families couldn’t care for their pets either. They were, to the creature, the loveliest beings AND got along with each other!
A month after we moved to Thailand my British partner of 21 years dumped me for a young Thai guy. Cried for a week then got one of my own 😂. 25 later Chai and I are going strong.
lovely segment on the dogs. My story is that my daughter and I are a foster family for a local Pet Rescue group in New York. We are not in a position to have a dog of our own, so we decided to foster and be a bridge for a foster dog on their journey to a forever family. We have been with this particular rescue group for 6.5 years and have foster 77 foster dogs. Our newest one will arrive this coming Saturday. Not everyone can have a dog, for various reasons, but fostering is a rewarding journey for us. We love catching up with the adopters to see how our foster dog has grown,adapted and moved on to become forever family member.
Our family rescued a little lionhead rabbit, he is jet black, so small can be held in the crook of one arm and is called Teddy. He lives in our home and is free to roam about as he is toilet trained etc and only eats his own toys and not the house furniture. While I watch your channel, Teddy will sit on my lap in the living room and fall asleep as I pet him. He is so loved and rescuing him was the best decision ever. He just brings that extra little peace of joy into our home.
My husband and I were in our 40 when we met. We’re now in our 60s! Our best date was when we went ice-skating in Central Park in New York. We were a little out of our depth, but were having a good time…..until I fell and broke my arm. The kind people at the rink took one look and said we should go to the hospital. When we got there the waiting room was full of people coughing. When it was my turn they asked why I was there and when I told them what happened, all the nurses and doctors started laughing. I thought it was funny too and I was happy to make their day! (The arm was set, splinted and healed completely. And the ice-skates were sold). It remains one of my favorite stories!
Every time I hear Henry talking about his Mum, I get a mental image of a huge ATM wearing The Diana Pearl tiara and spitting out $&£ notes. Let the poor flawed woman RIP! 👎😥🇦🇺
Despite being told by QE that he cannot be 'half in and half out', Harry's life theme is o find a way around any rule law or policy. It's a game for him. His current focus is to be half in CA and half out of the Royal Family in the UK. Harry keeps wiggling and angling to have his way.
I lost my husband in April of 2023, so its still a bit early to replace him (joking). I'm not sure, I am still only in my 50's so I'm not so old and I do miss the little things, like someone to put out the rubbish, carry the shopping, deal with pet accidents etc. On the other hand I like having full control of what I watch, what I eat, when I eat etc. I think if Mr Right were to come around, he would have to be perfect and not get in the way. Trouble is, I don't think I'm particularly perfect, so I think I will probably remain single!
I married my high school sweetheart in 1976. Going on 49 years on Valentine’s Day. I don’t think I would want to remarry if the time comes. Can’t imagine any man that could take his place. ❤
Our five dogs (our babies) are abandoned strays we found on country roads and rice fields (NE Thailand. We love them all and better still…..they love us more in return. Sip
We have fostered dogs in the past 28 in total. We found it very rewarding, fixing pre-owner mistakes, I have lots of funny stories, touching stories. Best of all dogs going to loving homes. During the pandemic, we weren't needed, but hubby needs a dog so we contacted our rescue and imported a rescue golden from Egypt. A great boy who loves the snow. If he was female and human he would be Mary Poppins .
Shannon, you made me laugh out loud when you said if your husband passed, you'd get a dog (instead of another man)! I've been divorced for over ten years now and frankly, I've been on maybe three "dates" in those ten years....it's the process of finding a lovely man that is soooo boring and painful (not literally...well maybe, it's excruciatingly boring, which IS painful). I've thought of a cat...someone to talk to who doesn't say mean things to me and loves me as long as I feed it. (that part actually resembles my former husband). Love your channel!!
I have had so many dogs it’s hard to pick out 1 story. I wanted a dog since I can remember and was told not until I was working myself. My first day at work I passed a pet shop on the way home and the shop owner told me that 1 pup had broken a leg when children had dropped it I couldn’t leave knowing they were in danger and had to take a lovely collie girl home. I was not popular with the parents for a week but they came round and she was a terrific family dog. I visited a local car boot sale once and at that time had 2 dogs who I had from pups. At the sale was a cross breed dog with its little head sticking out the car window over a sign that said dog free. You guessed it I became the owner of 3 dogs that day. My friend breeds border collies and I always have 1 or 2 of her dogs in the mix. I have loved every dog that shared my life no matter what their back story. I only go visit Ballater/Crathie in the summer but next year plan on getting a decent filter for the camera and would be happy to share the photos.
Good afternoon Shauna from Caroline in Italy. In my opinion H&M wanted to make a fool of the Daily mail, maybe use it for ammunition in his ongoing court case against them as misinformation or diss information ...I never know the difference. I am surprised H has any friends left in the UK
I suspect that Harry planted the first article and Meghan planted the second. Get ready for a series of such articles, which will keep them in the public eye (and in their minds, relevant), whereas the public will, in fact, become even more cynical with and fatigued by their ongoing, boringly repetitive saga.
I suspect they were trying to see if they could come back (or at least he was) and didn't get the response they want so they pitched a temper tantrum "well we didn't want to come back anyway."
Good morning! FYI, it was reported last night in the US that Megsy baby has lost the right to copyright American Riviera Orchard. The article said she can’t copyright the name of a region and there is already a Santa Barbara Company called American Riviera selling candles. Sip!
All the things she starts and doesn’t follow through with are a smokescreen for what she and H are really doing behind the scenes, as part of the Censorship Industrial Complex, to censor freedom of speech on the Internet. They say it’s to protect children, but they want to shut down anyone who criticises them or uncovers uncomfortable truths.
@@ctempleman1401 So I use Bing as well as Chrome for my search engine. I can’t find the exact article but if you use Bing and look up Meghan Markel looses ARO copyright it will lay out all the reasons including the fact that the original application wasn’t signed. (Oh dear!) of course they point out she is appealing but I find it a fascinating bit to the saga non the less.
I believe the Shaunaettes love you because you’re hilarious, darling and you remind us of us and our friends 🥹 Thank you for your great attitude that brightens our day ❣️
We got our little ‘Shoodle’, Cookie, as a puppy because my hubby wanted a dog and my daughter and I decided to surprise him. However, on the day that we were collecting her, he was rushed into hospital with chest pains in a blue light ambulance! He was okay in the end and after a few days in hospital he came out to a gorgeous little puppy and was actually lost for words! She idolises him! Shauna, can we be introduced to your lovely mum on your gossip before bed please. Your relationship with her sounds very much like mine and my daughter (and mine and my late mum). 😊
I have had rescue dogs (& cats) for many years. My current two are both black because I learned they spend far more time in rescue. Lucky is a Labrador: his hobbies are sleeping, eating & walkies. Tina, the cat, is a feisty little madam & rules all of us.
My hubby and I have been married 54 years, we have had gerbils, cats, dogs, kids and grandkids along the way. But I would really love to have a little poodle. I used to look after one for a friend and they are so smart, affectionate and good company. But hubby says it would probably outlive us and what then? Which makes me go off the idea. Also, I’m not very mobile, so wouldn’t be able to walk it too far, just round the block on a good day. Anyway, we joke to each other that if hubby goes first I’m getting a poodle, his retort to that is, if I go first he’s getting a Thai bride, to which I tell him, I’ll come back and haunt him if he does!
Hello Shauna my husband has passed but I remember a time all the kids we on their own and I had a chance to go with my husband on a job he was a pipefitter so he traveled a lot it was the best time for us we found each other again and I cherish that memory to this day miss him so much ❤
On my 2nd pibble rescue😊 She was in an abusive situation then doggie jail for 18 months, But we are working with her to overcome her trauma. She needs reassurance, people, love & lots of fuzzy pillows & blankets❤❤❤❤
Evening Shauna. Braving an extra coffee. 11.30pm wednesday here in kiwiland husband passed away nearly 7 years ago. A couple of years ago i was asked out.... i didnt know what to say.... married for 20+ years.... i told him i still felt married, so obviously wasnt eeady, and now im too selfish and just dont want to be with anyone else.
After losing my husband of 40yrs I understand that. I'm comfortable with just having myself to consider. It sounds selfish but I always worried about & looked after everyone else. I now do exactly what I want when I want. I love your chatter Shauna - don't stop.
Not a widow (long time married, long time divorced) but I’m just uninterested in a relationship!! Everyone is much more concerned with my old age years and don’t hear me really and my preference to be alone (I might change who knows!)
I was chatting with my mum on day. We have kept all our lovely dog’s ashes over the years I said that I wanted all my dogs buried with me. She said “I don’t think that’s aloud”. She thought I meant my dogs that were still alive. Lol ❤❤
Around here (Sussex Coast) there are many rescue dogs brought to the UK from Greece, Bulgaria, Roumania, Spain etc. 16 miles away there is a rescue centre for all manner of animals but I am a longterm fosterer for the Cinnamon Trust a charity for the elderly and their pets. Their main office is in Cornwall but they help animals throughout the UK. My 2nd foster was for a beautiful papillon bitch who lived in Edinburgh and was driven down here to me but she had a brain tumour so only lived 10 months with me. As a longterm fosterer I look after the dogs for the remainder of their lives. Most of the dogs are elderly themselves and so far the longest time one has lived with me was almost 3 years. My present dog Daisy hopefully will spend another 4 years with me. She has been here for almost 2 1/2 years and is a delight. I opened my garden on Saturday for a party in aid of the church where I worship, Daisy had the time of her life going around all the visitors for a tummy rub. People were very generous and donated £202 in 2 hours!
We recently (6 weeks ago) picked up Roger (a kelpie/boxer) from a rescue shelter in Bendigo to be an addition to the family and brother to our 2yr old Jack Russell (Denis). It is always a shock to the system to get a new dog even if they're a 'good boy'. he is about 9 months old and he has a lovely nature, very playful and full of energy and learning the ropes so quickly. It's the trainer who has to learn how to lead and I've had a crash course! Also, there's been a bit of adjustment for Denis who has been used to the bed, the people, the toys etc all being his alone and he is having to learn to share!!! But 6 weeks in, thankfully, and with me being more aware of triggers, things have settled down and my heart just melts when they play well together. This must be what it is like when a mother brings home their second child from the hospital and number 1 child has to learn to be a sibling and share their parent's attention.
I am now 69 & had eight Border Collies, now have 5 left & still grieve the three over Rainbow Bridge. My first Border Collie I found at the stables, tied to my stable door with a note, 'Please take me home' - the beginning of my love ❤️ story with BC's x
Harry is just so jealous of his brother and his family, Diana was still young enough to remarry and have children, can you imagine how jealous and nasty he would be especially a girl, he would be jealous and full of hatred having to share his Mother with another Family....
My husband and I started dating at 18... he was in the boys' school a year ahead of me. We have been together for 48 years. Am totally in agreement with you about the maintenance and hard work required to date another bloke. Definitely another dog would be my option too and I would be able to have it on my bed as hubby is a bit allergic so our dogs have never been allowed on the bed.
My brothers wife died , along with his 2 sons ( aged 31, just turned 6 , and 18 months) years ago ( 1978)… he later remarried, had twin boys and then another son, with a woman that was a bit younger and , quiet frankly, she was nutters…. Years and years and years after they divorced… in his sixties, he got sick, had a little bit of esophageal cancer-which was treatable.. but his old girlfriend from highschool went and visited him in the hospital…. They were each others first true love, sparks reunited, and they got back together, had a fabulous time , he was so happy …. He was 13 yrs older than me, and I was a young kid when he was in highschool… so, to get to have the family car ( this was in the 60’s) , he’d take me along on many of their dates , I always remembered her and loved her as well, we all did …. He went on to university and life went on, another brother.. 3 years younger than he was, dropped out of university and joined the US marines.. prompting my older brother to change over from ROTC while in college ( sort of an officers training program while in college/university) and enlisted in the US army because his little brother wasn’t going to Vietnam while he was still in school… became a helicopter pilot, and went to Vietnam about 2 months after the younger brother got back from Vietnam…. So his relationship with her, Lynnie…. Didn’t survive, and he met and married his wife who then died nine years after he got back and was out of the service. They acted line high school kids again… went all over the place, as they were both retired then, got to Italy , the UK, golfed in Scotland…. They both worked on their bucket lists, and were delightful to be around … it was A GOOD thing!! Sadly he died two years ago, very quickly and unexpectedly, at 73…. Lynn is still considered our sister .. and always will be .. there is always hope !!!
She truly was the Late Great Queen Elizabeth II. Many thanks to all the brave British people who dug people out of the rubble. Our hats off to you. ❤🇨🇦🍁
Oh Shauna, that nurse story reminds me of my cousin. She worked for a company that handled hazardous materials. While visting a company and meeting the new manager, she accidently slammed his hand in the car door! She took him to the emergency room. That resulted in a marriage! 😂😂😂
Hi Shauna, we’d been happily married for 37 years when hubby suddenly passed. It’s now been nearly 19 years and I’ve never been interested in anyone else. One of hubbys saying used to be “ who wants mincemeat when you have rump steak at home. Well, ditto for me. I’ll be hubbys wife till I see him again and, I’ve always said, huge hug then a kick in the shins for leaving me 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Please do "Ask Not"The women the Kennedys destroyed" by Maureen Callahan and Princess Mary by Elizabeth Basford about the late Queen's aunt. I read Wallis in Love and was surprised that Morton hasn't written a fan book like the Diana book. I loved it but still would prefer Wallis over meg after all she was named in the best dressed list all the time plus she did not publicly slag off the Royals.
Years ago we owned a Jack Russell terrier, and boy, are they active little creatures. Ours was an enthusiastic digger, and his prize achievement was an absolute bomb crater in the middle of the back yard. His greatest joy was to take off running across the yard, bounce into the hole, jump out the other side & finish crossing the yard, then turn around and go back the other way. We left the hole there because he got so much fun out of it and kept himself amused for hours.
I suspect it's Markle who continually references Diana in "Harry's quoted comments". The Royal Family is the Harkle's currency and Diana's memory is their most valuable commodity.
Too bad H and M don't realize that even those members of the public who adored Princess Diana are tired of hearing her referenced every time H opens his mouth. Her currency is declining in value due to over-exposure.
I agree Shauna. I don’t agree with Phil’s views on Meghan Markle but he is a fascinating journalist and I enjoy listening to you both discussing issues. In today’s world, some people forget that you can disagree without getting angry! Look forward to Phil’s next appearance, Andrew Lownie too.

When does Prince William publicly refer to his late mother? Never. When does H not refer to his late mother. Never...
Thought they had a agreement not to talk about her of course Harry has to moninetize her...
Bravo 👏
@CdnCathy
Yes. Reportedly, they made a pact at their mother's statue unveiling.
@@flyonthewall8122Well, there we have proof that King William will honour his coronation promises! 👍👌🇦🇺
I think you will find William does talk about his mother but it is when the occasion demands it. It would be weird if he didn’t but it is not a hatchet job but with love and affection. He needs to do this for the sake of his own children because if he doesn’t, his children will find Harry’s distorted views becoming the facts.
When will this 'little prince' recognize that the person who exposed him the most to the press and the paparazzi during his childhood was his beloved mother!
Certainly was.
She used to phone the media to let them know where she was going to be.
Remind you of anyone?
Did you hear Elle has cancer and refusing radio or chemo and going for natural treatment. I wish her the very best. How is your ankle doing Shauna sip! The consultant story was so funny 🤣 Sip! Great evening with you Thanks❤

The way Harry uses Diana's death for an excuse for his bad behavior is disgusting
Ah, a bot
Dictionary definition of "dining out on his mother's memory/name"
Harry has monopolized the memory of his mother in a way that has become obscene and disturbing to an exhausting degree! he will not win back the sympathy he lost from people, no matter how many times he mentions her name! exactly the opposite, people got tired of the 12 year old in the body of a 40 year old! give it up Harry !
Shauna, as a gay man I never thought you were trans-phobic. But there is so much hate being directed at our community we are over sensitive. As a 57 year old gay man I understand why. My generation fought for equality; that’s all we wanted. This generation wants special treatment, rebuilding society around them and their needs. Why? Being lgbtq is not a handicap.
I discuss the impact on the LGB community on Friday with Phil as he has had many friends impacted and is a friend of Malcolm Clark.
Could you please give examples of the hate? In what ways were you not equal?
@@peggykelly5019 it used to be illegal to be openly gay, which is enough proof they were not treated equally.
I'm so glad you shared, and your sentiment is one I have heard quite a bit. As a friend and supporter of the LGTBQ community I fear the emphasis on preference over equality could result in regression for all. I hope that isn't the result!
@grantuspeace3230 My (gay) friend often says if she would have realized what this generation would have done with the rights she fought so hard for, she never would continue the fight...... the woke agenda has gone to far imo
I've been divorced since 1992. I've never dated since. Too busy raising kids. And no desire to let another idiot into my life.

Me too. I parted ways with my ex in 1995 but did not formally divorce till 2000. Was very fortunate to have a fantastic job so did my best to raise my children well, send them to good schools and universities. No support from natal family but life went on. I was too busy to think of anything else but my family and my career.
😳😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
There’s no way that Harry would be invted back into a working role by the RF, no matter what the public thought. It is astonishing that Harry would think that the public might want him back.
I’m wondering if he is just putting these stories about in order to judge public opinion by reading comments on line. Once he realises everyone dislikes him intensely then a new story comes out a few days later telling us all how happy he is in the US and doesn’t want to come back
I don’t think Harry is giving any thought about whether the British public wants him back. He doesn’t give a toss about what they want. If he wants to come back, it’s all about what he gets out of it from his father. It’s all about himself.

Love Shauna ❤️ really is a breath of fresh air.
My mother’s neighbour had a stroke and her dog laid beside her for hours, until she was discovered. She died and her nephew wasn’t interested in the dog. My mum thought he’d be great for us and our two little girls and she was right. Buster was wonderful with the children and we were heart broken when he died thirteen years later. We are now on our forth bearded collie , all thanks to this wonderful shaggy dog.
My husband and I found a dog on the side of the highway. She was in bad shape like she had escaped from a bad situation. Emaciated and had a deep gash on her side, exposing her mammary gland. We also suspect she had just had puppies (we couldn’t find them and it had gotten below freezing the nights before…) We took her to the vet and they fixed her up, we got her some weight on. She was a dachshund/doberman/lab mix, or a “Big Weenie Dog” if you will. She had such a great temperament, very well mannered. She passed away at the age of 13 in December 2022. She was the best dog. Her name was Honey.❤
God bless you
Thank you so much for rescuing Honey! You and your husband are special human beings 😍
❤
People such as you and your husband are rare. Thank you!❤
Only read your first few words. Could go no further. Already had tears. You’re an Angel for stepping up & caring for this beautiful pup.❤
I have a beautiful jack russell rescue. She has just a touch of chihuahua. My son was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago, after several severe seizures. This dog knows when he is about to seize and will alert me.And when he stops breathing she goes and licks his mouth and nose to stimulate him and then backs off when he gasps. Its amazing such a smart dog
What a brilliant dog, he must be such a blessing. I’m sorry about your son, that must be so hard. I hope things get more stable. xxx
It is so amazing that it's self-taught to watch your son. They are so full of love and very clever.
The Hospice I worked for always worked at placement of our clients animals as they progressed. My patient had a Jack Russell and he wanted me to take her. We did take her when he went into a nursing home when he could no longer manage alone at home. We took Penny to visit him at the nursing home. She was a joy to us, and we were broken hearted when she became ill and passed away. We also got my MIL Chug when she passed. Dinky and Penny were great friends and Dinky grieved Penny's loss.
I have epilepsy and my dogs when I came round were lying either side of me. Before I took one they use to put their heads on my knees I would lye on the floor. Unfortunately they are no longer with me,I have split my head broke my nose three times truthfully I can’t remember all the injuries, I send my love to you.
Awesome
If harry was such a great dad...where are the kids...he cant even talk about them,
Harry got caught trying to weasel his way back into the Royal Family and now he is back peddling fast. Personally I think he wants money and the full security and that’s all. No intention of making amends with his family.
Agreed totally 💯
Creep
Sadly, I think you could be right... he doesn't know what he wants if Meghan isn't there to tell him.😂😂
I agree!
I somewhat disagree only because I think Harry believes he does want to make amends, he just defines "making amends" as "they apologize to us and give us exactly what we want and welcome us completely." Which of course is not how any sane person defines making amends (and the true definition he has no intention of doing).
So glad Harry doesn’t want to come home to UK, we can all sleep soundly now conscious of this fact.
🤣
Hear, Hear!

In 2010 our next door neighbours moved out and left their 10 month old pup behind alone. So i took her in , hoping to find a good home for her. My late husband wasn't very enthusiastic. I couldn't find anyone I felt would give her the love she needed so we kept her. My husband passed away in 2017 and poor Mimi missed him. She looked for him until a year later i moved, with her and my 2 cats, to sheltered accomodation. She was my companion until last November when she had a stroke and I had to have her euthanized. One cat, who was devoted to her, sat near her body until it was taken away. We were married 60 1/2 years and Mimi was a great help and consolation. I'm 88 so i can't have another dog, it wouldn't be fair. But my old cat, he's around 20 does his best.
❤
What a lovely story. I don’t know how people can just leave an animal behind like that. You could perhaps adopt a senior dog. Unfortunately some real seniors end up in shelters and it’s so, so sad.
We rescued a Pekingese. He was perfect! His little teeth were all ascue, and he couldn't walk when we first got him because he had been in a cage from birth. He was 5 months old. We named him Wookie, and I can not tell you how many times he had all of us laughing until we cried. There was just something extra special about him. He was so sweet, and he didn't bark at all. It was as though he didn't know how. We were blessed to have him for 15 years, and he was healthy and happy until the actual day he passed, April 13, 2023. He is sorely missed and greatly loved.
For over 30 years my husband and I had dogs. By the time the last dog died, hubby had become completely disabled so we decided not to get another pet. The day after hubby's funeral I was at the animal shelter to adopt. Best decision to help with grief.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👏
My aunt woke up one night and saw her father who had been dead for several years, standing at the foot of the bed. He had on a gold colored shirt that he often wore. Then he just disappeared . She decided to get up and walked by the bedroom door across the hall just as a ball of fire fell into one of the twin beds. Their house was on fire! She awakened everyone and they all got out safely but the house burned to the ground. She swears to this day that my Grandpa woke her up to warn her!
I believe he did.
After hearing Elle Macpherson claiming she “cured” her breast cancer holistically I don’t ever want to hear another word about her. She is misleading many women and giving unsound advice. 😡
I so agree!
I agree, especially since she has jumped into the menopause conversation in a very inauthentic way, makes me cringe
I enjoy your show love hearing about your sweet hubby..Cheers❤
Wonder if King Charles is doing the same as we have no idea what treatment he is having but for years, he has been preaching holistic medicine as an alternative and got the NHS to include some. Because I can tell you now, belief that in any treatment working for you is a huge part of recovery.
@@bridiesmith5110 my husband has cancer and we have treated holistically along with the chemo therapy and the stem cell transplants he has had. Science is undeniable, at the same time I ride his butt to eat “clean” (he hates veggies 😩) and to take many vitamins including Curcumin which in some trials has shown promise with his type of cancer. He has had Multiple Myeloma for 13 years now and is currently in remission. I’m sure King Charles is intelligent enough to combine the holistic approach along side the scientifically proven drugs that have saved many a life. 💜
Sip sip to you Shauna! Thank you for another Gossip before bed! H&M are so tiresome with their media games.

My girl friend lost her husband and got another dog … and then got another husband who also got another dog after his first wife passed. The dogs fell in love with each other at the dog park.
Oh that is perfect!
My rescue dog story. I’m sorry this is so long. And I’m not sure why I’m even telling this. Our first dog was 3 years old when I saw another one that kind of looked like our boy on a rescue site in another town and province. After some interesting back and forths, we got the little lady a month or so later. She was about 18 months (I think she might have been a bit younger) when we brought her home. She was emaciated and petrified. She hid under the bed, behind the couch and chair and only snuck out to eat and drink. She hoarded food for the rest of her life. That little girl became the love of my life and part of my soul. I don’t know how it happened, we already had her brother that we loved so very very much, but she became my best friend. I don’t know why she “picked” me and not her “dad” but she was my girl from the beginning. She watched me, she followed me, she pulled plants when I planted them, she barked a lot but when I ran out on the deck and said enough, she would smile at me, literally smile at me, and come waddle-running up the ramp we built for both dogs to see me with this literal smile on her face. We faced three separate slipped discs and a couple of bouts of pancreatitis with her. We had her for ten full years. She died from very sudden liver failure one evening. We rushed her to the vet that evening on the long weekend and I kept looking into her eyes and saying, “You tell God that your mama says you are the best little girl ever” over and over until her eyes closed. She was part of my soul somehow. She didn’t have a good start in life but she was beloved by daddy and mommy and her older brother. Her brother looked for her for about a year. I still grieve for her and now very recently, we have a new grief for her brother who just passed at 14 1/2 years. Talk about an empty home. Talk about my empty life. They were with me all day every day of their lives and rescued me from a very deep depression. I am better but they are gone. Weird I am telling you this, but you asked about dog stories and somehow I wanted to explain about a little kinda ugly misshaped little girl who saved me after I saved her. I held her brother when the time came recently and told him to run and look for her because she would be waiting to play with him. They were my hearts.
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it.

@@annmariewraight871 I believe you are the lady I misunderstood before. Thank you for understanding my story. Even re-reading it brings me pain and more tears. And I lived it 😞. I think I need to explain things that probably have lessened my understanding and humour quotients a bit right now. My little girl passed suddenly and we were both devastated as they were “our” kids, so to speak. My husband got cancer (how does a person get cancer, do you suppose?). Dealt with the treatments and he retired in there somewhere. It becomes a blur. Thirteen days after the last treatment, June 13th, he had a heart attack here at home. Because of the heart attack, he now cannot have the double knee replacement that he needs so badly, so he is in constant pain but cannot have the particular medication that works the best for it … because of the heart attack. Then my beautiful little boy died one day not long ago and again we were shattered. In the midst of all this, a long planned two floor renovation began with us living here throughout. Neither of us are that funny these days 🤷♀️. But let me apologize again for jumping to conclusions. I don’t think I usually do, but I’m afraid “usually” isn’t working right now. Unfortunately, I also understand trauma in childhood. I would hug you for yours, and offer you a safe place if I could. I really would. I did unsubscribe here as I felt bad about my misjudgement. I will reconsider. Thank you for your listening and understanding. Like I said before, it’s weird I even said anything anywhere. ❤️

How strange life works! Sometimes brutal and sometimes miraculous. I'm deeply moved by your love of your babies and concern for your husband. I wish I could give you a long and loving bear hug. Then go to some quiet place in nature and sit with you. You have moved me more than anybody or anything for quite a while, lovely person 💙
Strange considering we began our acquaintance here with a misunderstanding ... but I really wish I could hug you now...
About your husband - I will ask my son if he can give any medical advice. I don't know where you are based but in some places it is very difficult to get direct health care/advice without going through an exhausting process.
Too many brutal things have been piled on you both in too short a space of time. You must feel you are trapped under a suffocating avalanche. I pray that snow melts quickly and the sun shines through to warm you both XX
I really believe that ' a problem shared is a problem halved' -
maybe not practically but certainly psychologically and emotionally.
THANK YOU for being vulnerable and sharing your grief. I believe most of us have experienced deep sadness and I think you have touched others who have read your story.
I think you wrote your story because you needed to. I hope you have a dear person you can confide in who can give you those hugs that you both so deserve X
Please don't leave Shauna's amazing community - I WILL MISS YOU! 💙
Shauna 9 years after my divorce l did internet dating and met a man from my home town who told me he was a widower 🤔 My best friend knew him and his very much alive wife! The look on his face when we met at a mutual friends funeral was priceless, even more so when his wife and l spoke to each other! I think his underwear might have turned an interesting shade 🤣
Out dogs are all rescues. We live next to a church where people dump their dogs. We have 6 fenced in acres for dogs to run and play. Everytime we get a 7th dog, one of ours dies. 2 of our dogs came on december 8th of different years...and each one year old at the time they were dumped. I suppose they were last years christmas present that just didnt work out and they dumped them😢. We spay and neuter all our rescues and they are the best dogs. They are very well connected to each other and their people family. My oldest rescue is almost blind, almost deaf and almost 22 years old. All the dogs dote on her. My 18 year old dog is diabetic and takes insulin twice daily. When i go to work, i put the television on for them and they are angels all day. No therapy needed in this house. We are all loved unconditionally.❤
Oh that made me tear up! Just beautiful! 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾
Peggylee, ❤
How very kind of you and your family. I grew up with dogs, and could not imagine not having one in my life.
Good on you. Interesting about the TV. My rescue doggies don't seem to watch TV at all but maybe the background noise just keeps hem comforted.
❤❤❤
NOOOOOooooo!!!! PLEASE DON'T STOP THE GOSSIP AND CHIT CHATTER. PLEEEEEeeese 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!! You are SOOOooooo funny.
I agree! At 63 I would not want to ‘train’ or ‘be trained’ to a new relationship. This one has been the absolute best!!! 41 years and counting!!!
Perfect! x
Well done❤
How wonderful, how fortunate you are!!!!! Bravo
That is wonderful! You both are blessed indeed!
I’m heading for eighty and had 57 wonderful years with my first and only love. For me he was it and always will be. So no training for either myself or a partner.

Dear Shauna,
Have been married to the most loving, wonderful, and smart man for 60 years. He has from the beginning loved me exactly for who I am. He has been a caring father to our grown children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
No way any man could ever live up to him.❤
I first saw one of my dogs, a beautiful border collie, around 10 months old when he knocked over my dustbin and was rifling through it. I shoed him away. New to this small Welsh village I asked a few neighbours who he belonged to, one of them told me he was a stray, that someone had driven to the village and dumped him, he was a pest and he was going to shoot him.
Already having a dog and being eight months pregnant I decided to catch him and take him to a recue centre. Within a day I realised that was never going to happen, Jake as we named him was a joy for the whole family for the next 12 years.
Comment to the loss of a loved one. I lost my husband of almost 44 years in 2020. He was my life and my best friend. It was very sudden and unexpected. I can't imagine finding another to fill his shoes. I have awesome family and friends to fill my time. And I am also comfortable with my own company. Reading and crocheting and travel fill my time. I miss him everyday, but sharing stories and memories with family and friends eases the emptiness that sometimes creeps in. Love your show and the sharing of stories, because it makes the community feel more like family.
I’m so sorry. What a fabulous love you had. You sound like such a lovely, interesting person. 😊💕
I know your pain, and commend you on your fortitude and independence. We honour our loved ones every day that we engage positively with the life that they lost so suddenly. We are who we are because of them, and through us, they are, in some small way, still here, and still part of the world.
@thevintageread thank you. As with any marriage, we had our rough patches, but I always knew he loved me, and I loved him. Marriage is hard work, and unfortunately, it seems not many are willing to put in the effort these days.
My mom feels the same after 53 years- this August would have been their 60th. For my mom, no one will ever compare to him or can fill his shoes…. She has family, support, friends, etc…. We travel with her- and she cherishes the memories and time she had with him & is glad she was able to ride through the up/downs together 😇👍👍💙
With that long, there's a large part of you that was formed around/by that person and no one else will fill that exact place because they're not ever really gone. I'm sorry for your loss and wish you all the happiness going forward! ❤️
my husband died of MND, quite shocking and only 60, 15 years on now, I can never imagine being with anyone else. It would have been our wedding anniversary tomorrow, I will be alone, just with memories, as every day, but with lovely grandchildren, somehow I manage simply sharing silly stuff about him to them, it keeps us together and the grandchildren feel they knew him just a bit.
My dog bear is 14 next month. His 48.8kg german sheo. X rhodesian ridgeback. He beats me to bed each night. Knows which side is his. Tells me breakfast time, 12noon is lunch, 4pm dinner. He comes and nudges me to get up and feed him. Will also go outside, come in and sit at pantry for a treat. Will even nudge the container that there in..
Awww how gorgeous, what a good boy 💕
Ditto I have a bull arab and a shar pei x , regarding not getting a rescue, both rescues. we in the west have shelters complaining that they are full.
27 years is a long time. I am very certain, Harry now has fewer and fewer memories of his mother. And the drugs are not doing his memories any favors.
I'm sure you're right. He only had 13 years with her, and once he went to boarding school at 8, they spent relatively little time together, and even less after the separation, when the boys had to divide their time between each parent.
Whereas William has more memories.
I think this is another source of Harry's anger. He hates himself for forgetting her, no longer remembering what she looked or sounded like, unless reminded by photos or films. No wonder Meghan ensnared him so easily - she wore his mother's favorite perfume.
Harry is also angry that his mother left him, and he is angry that he refused to speak to her on the phone the night she died. He may even be angry that William was her confidant (never mind the tremendous, unfair burden that put on young William). Harry was the playmate; William was the companion.
Harry is such a mess. He really needs psychiatric help. Unfortunately, like everything else in his life, Harry hasn't stuck with it. He said in Spare that he had his counsellor on speed dial. No mention of regular, in-depth sessions.
@@maryireland4253...and would not talk to her the day before she died
@maryireland4253 Exactly as I've come to believe! He's angry at her for leaving and angry at himself for being angry at her and angry at William for coping better and angry at his father for moving on and angry at Camilla for obvious reasons and angry at Catherine for taking Diana's place/bearing her legacy in some ways and I think even beginning to be angry at Meghan for not being able to bear Diana's legacy the way he expected. He's a very angry and confused man who has unfortunately never dealt with any of it in a healthy way.
I also think his memories of his mother are distorted into some sort of inhuman perfection as a coping mechanism and it's not serving him well anymore. I do feel bad for him about half the time. He really, really needs help and Meghan ain't it.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 re your question. I lost my husband of 23 yrs to cancer at age 46. Tried dating and found that there seem to be no good men left. Both of them turned out to be jerks who cheat. Now at 63 yrs i find i dont have the energy for the drama...
Sounds like you had your true love years with the first (best) one! 💕💕💕
He’s like a kid accidentally running into a wall. Kid stands up, tears in his eyes, brushes himself off and says “I meant to do that”.
Hello, Shauna! An elderly male colleague once told me (when I was in my 50’s) that the ONLY thing men want from a relationship after 50, is a “…nurse or a purse.” I was surprised and thought his assessment [and warning!] was very cynical and misleading.
A couple of decades later, I have witnessed many relationships that reflect his declaration: Unhappy couples staying together because of FINANCES with NO other “relationship” between them, and/or unhappily taking care of their partner’s health and/or physical impairment needs and RESENTING them because of that.
The few decades-long partnership’s that have remained IN LOVE with, and/or respectful, of, one another, are extremely rare, in my experience. They do exist, however, and I am grateful to see them remaining supportive and helpful to the other, until their deaths, do, part them.
“A NURSE or a PURSE.” Maybe there was a bit of truth in that statement, sadly, but I’ve also seen “true LOVE” triumph over that dismal outcome for couples, thank goodness.
I have been seperated for 3 years after 25 years and I could not be bothered to ever go down the path of another romance.
I understand that! I think I would be the same!
Dog Story - When I was 15, in 1973, (you do the math), I told my parents I wanted a Saint Bernard. They told me to earn half the cost and they would contribute the rest. Back then a Saint cost $150.00 and that was a lot of babysitting hours! Before my parents knew it, I came up with $75.00! And I have owned a Saint ever since!
XXOO, from the Texas Hill Country
My buddy TBone. This was Jimmy's first dog. We were shopping at PetSmart and they had a dog adoption going on. Jimmy saw this young but large golden retriever/great pyrenes dog in a small cage and fell in love, or pity, I'm not sure which. We took him for a walk and bonded with him immediately. Loved his floppy ears and curiosity. So we loaded him up in the car and headed home to meet his brother Howie (great pyrenes). It took a couple of days, but they got along great. All that was left was to name him. Yes, you guessed it, he stole Jimmy's T-bone steak that night. I love that dog. He never failed to bring a smile on our faces.
After the media speculation on his marriage, Rod Stewart issued a statement. He admitted that his LA home had been up for sale, but as his whole family had such a wonderful holiday there, they decided to keep the property. He does live in England & there is no trouble in his marriage to Penny.
I did think he could probably afford a home in both countries!😊
Your mention of the standard poodle rescue reminded me of a date I had a few years back when I had tried online dating (lasted 4 dates but that’s another story!) I went to pick up this one fellow, he offered a drink before going out to dinner and went to kitchen. I was sitting on his sofa when in comes this beautiful huge standard poodle to sit down in front of me. Then came another, and another and another….😂 5 in all! They definitely took a shine to me. By the time he came back in, two were sitting on the sofa beside me, leaning in, two had their heads in my lap, and the last was trying to sit on me😂. He was a widower and they really missed their mom I guess! We didn’t click, but I liked his dogs… sip!
Wow 5! 😂
I married at 18. He was a control freak and violent, coersive control, virtually a prisoner in my own home. I left him at 32 but met my current husband at 46. We met online and he worked out in the mines in far SW Qld so by the time we married 6 months later we'd only spent 40 days together. Happiest 20 years ❤
Good morning Shauna!! So, three weeks ago I adopted a 9 yr old, very overweight “jackabee”. A Jack Russell/ beagle mix. He’s lovely and set in his ways, but the best thing about him is that he loves to sleep in :). Perfect for my days off. Also, yesterday marked our three weeks together, and it was the first time I had heard him bark. Just a little bark, but I didn’t think he had it in him 😂
Love this program!!
Aww how lovely! To bark he must be right at home! You sound perfect together! 💕💕
I took a beagle x foxhound rescue who had been abused. She was terrified of everyone and everything. My family just gave her a lot of love and we were rewarded by her loving us back. She became the most friendly dog but remained fearful of the garden hose. In her later years she developed a cancer and died. I cried buckets.
Previous to that we had a beautiful corgi, who was a wonderful family dog. He died way too early, when a scrub tick got him. We took him to the vet but he had a heart attack from the tick poison. Many tears for him too.
No love like it is there!
@@thevintageread ❤️❤️❤️
Married 35 years, divorced for 10 years. No way would I start THAT rigamarole again! Yes Shauna, you DO have to break them in and it's a lengthy period 🤣
😂
Thanks so much for being here Shawna. When the morning normal news depresses me, I turn to you to feel 1/2 way normal again! Sip!
I'm so glad you are here! (I know what you mean 😘)
Agree❤
Same
Rescuing a dog is so rewarding, but agree you need the right dog at the right time for you! Winston sounds perfect! My rescue puppy was found dumped with his siblings to die in the snow in Japan. Our friends found the little puppies close to death while hiking up a mountain. Our neighbours were too shy to talk to us before we got him, but after always stopped to chat & invited us over for dinner. He lived the best life with us for 17 years & when we brought him back to Australia, everyone thought he was a dingo, which again stopped people to ask about him! Dogs open up friendships, language barriers & experiences. Thanks for the laughs, as always. Sip!
What a beautiful story xxx
@@thevintageread thanks! He came to work with me every day, was amazing with children & was bilingual!
@kathyevans2968 Japanese and English?

Good morning Shauna. I am also not transphobic ... live and let live is my life philosophy. That being said, however, I will not accept being sidelined as less than a transphobic woman because I am a biological woman. We are living in a distopian world. All reason appears to be absent and as for common sense...it is totally missing. That is one of the many reasons I follow your vlogs...you exhibit plenty of reason and common sense. Thank you. Cheers and sip from Canada 🇨🇦
Agree. It seems we have not yet found a way, socially or legally, of reconciling mutually exclusive perspectives; instead, we pick the one that in some way carries more weight, and force the other to submit to it. In UK some years ago a Christian couple who ran a B&B politely refused a gay male couple a room with a double bed, as it was not compatible with the Christian couple's religious beliefs. They offered the gay couple a double room with twin beds instead, but were indignantly rejected, and subsequently were taken to court for discrimination. They lost the case, and lost their business as a result. Effectively, their religious beliefs were considered less important than a gay couple's rights to impose their lifestyle choice on other people in their own home. I have always suspected that at least part of the reason for the verdict was because being Christian is not remotely cool or trendy nowadays, whilst being gay very much is - no disrespect to either party intended - and went with the populist view. My point is, surely the court should have recognised that it was a case of an irresistible force meeting an unmoveable mountain, and declined to get involved. The gay couple were disrespecting the Christians just as much as they claimed the Christians were disrespecting them. Sometimes there cannot be a winner, and people simply have to agree to differ, and move on. Whilst trans women must be allowed to live their lives in safety and with respect, they are not and cannot ever be true women. True women have the equal, and opposing, right to not be forced into intimate contact with someone of another biological sex, regardless of what gender they have chosen to adopt.
Being a widow, during the pandemic, I became quite depressed not being able to see family members without practicing extreme caution. I had dearly loved three cats that had passed away over a period of several years. One day, my son showed up at my door with a 5 yr. old dog he had adopted. I told him how happy I was for him, only to be told the dog was for me. Etta James, a standard French Bulldog, has been a most wonderful companion and she has lifted me out of my depression and brought so much joy into my life. She’s always by my side. I do love all animals and actively fight for release of wildlife, especially elephants, in captivity.
Your son loves you very much. He knew just what you needed! 💕
We’ve adopted all kinds of kitties and pups throughout the years. As a nurse in home health we ended up adopting several senior cats and dogs from my patients who could no longer care for their pets and unfortunately their families couldn’t care for their pets either. They were, to the creature, the loveliest beings AND got along with each other!
You must have a very calm welcoming environment in your home. All of those animals got along so each other.
@@sheilaenglish9738 We were also pretty lucky I think!
I think they probably understood that you were their guardian Angel after losing their lives one💖
After 53 years of a good marriage, I would never remarry. I could learn to adapt to being a single. Cheers and sip from Canada (again)
A month after we moved to Thailand my British partner of 21 years dumped me for a young Thai guy. Cried for a week then got one of my own 😂. 25 later Chai and I are going strong.
lovely segment on the dogs. My story is that my daughter and I are a foster family for a local Pet Rescue group in New York. We are not in a position to have a dog of our own, so we decided to foster and be a bridge for a foster dog on their journey to a forever family. We have been with this particular rescue group for 6.5 years and have foster 77 foster dogs. Our newest one will arrive this coming Saturday. Not everyone can have a dog, for various reasons, but fostering is a rewarding journey for us. We love catching up with the adopters to see how our foster dog has grown,adapted and moved on to become forever family member.
What a beautiful thing you have done. I bet one day, when you are in heaven, 77 dogs will run towards you! 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾
What a lovely task to take up and one that not everyone can handle! ❤️
@@fibanocci314 thank you
@@thevintageread thank you for your lovely words
@thevintageread Actually they will show up to lead their foster parent to Heaven.Returning the fostering courtesy so to speak.💘
Our family rescued a little lionhead rabbit, he is jet black, so small can be held in the crook of one arm and is called Teddy. He lives in our home and is free to roam about as he is toilet trained etc and only eats his own toys and not the house furniture. While I watch your channel, Teddy will sit on my lap in the living room and fall asleep as I pet him. He is so loved and rescuing him was the best decision ever. He just brings that extra little peace of joy into our home.
My husband and I were in our 40 when we met. We’re now in our 60s! Our best date was when we went ice-skating in Central Park in New York. We were a little out of our depth, but were having a good time…..until I fell and broke my arm. The kind people at the rink took one look and said we should go to the hospital. When we got there the waiting room was full of people coughing. When it was my turn they asked why I was there and when I told them what happened, all the nurses and doctors started laughing. I thought it was funny too and I was happy to make their day! (The arm was set, splinted and healed completely. And the ice-skates were sold). It remains one of my favorite stories!
Looks like Queen Camilla is the first UK queen to wear jeans and denim jackets!
I am not a British citizen, but I like Queen Camilla and her hardworking, down to earth, humorous attitude towards life.
Every time I hear Henry talking about his Mum, I get a mental image of a huge ATM wearing The Diana Pearl tiara and spitting out $&£ notes. Let the poor flawed woman RIP! 👎😥🇦🇺
Loves to dine off his mother's memory....imo
Despite being told by QE that he cannot be 'half in and half out', Harry's life theme is o find a way around any rule law or policy. It's a game for him. His current focus is to be half in CA and half out of the Royal Family in the UK. Harry keeps wiggling and angling to have his way.
I lost my husband in April of 2023, so its still a bit early to replace him (joking). I'm not sure, I am still only in my 50's so I'm not so old and I do miss the little things, like someone to put out the rubbish, carry the shopping, deal with pet accidents etc. On the other hand I like having full control of what I watch, what I eat, when I eat etc. I think if Mr Right were to come around, he would have to be perfect and not get in the way. Trouble is, I don't think I'm particularly perfect, so I think I will probably remain single!
Too bad Harry didn't respond to any of the accusations about his family so quickly!! SIP!
Hear, hear!
His constant reference to his mother makes him sound more off the planet.!!!
It is lovely to hear the rescue dogs are so well adopted in Aussie!
H was testing the waters going for that memorial service. Testing the British climate toward him returning
Doesn't do good for his court case on security. He snuck in no fanfare... doesn't need extra security hey..
I married my high school sweetheart in 1976.
Going on 49 years on Valentine’s Day. I don’t think I would want to remarry if the time comes.
Can’t imagine any man that could take his place. ❤
Our five dogs (our babies) are abandoned strays we found on country roads and rice fields (NE Thailand. We love them all and better still…..they love us more in return.
Sip
We have fostered dogs in the past 28 in total. We found it very rewarding, fixing pre-owner mistakes, I have lots of funny stories, touching stories. Best of all dogs going to loving homes. During the pandemic, we weren't needed, but hubby needs a dog so we contacted our rescue and imported a rescue golden from Egypt. A great boy who loves the snow. If he was female and human he would be Mary Poppins .
That is awesome!
Shauna I’ve always wondered if there are so many genders - why are there only 2 options when people do a baby gender reveal?
Shannon, you made me laugh out loud when you said if your husband passed, you'd get a dog (instead of another man)! I've been divorced for over ten years now and frankly, I've been on maybe three "dates" in those ten years....it's the process of finding a lovely man that is soooo boring and painful (not literally...well maybe, it's excruciatingly boring, which IS painful). I've thought of a cat...someone to talk to who doesn't say mean things to me and loves me as long as I feed it. (that part actually resembles my former husband). Love your channel!!
I have had so many dogs it’s hard to pick out 1 story. I wanted a dog since I can remember and was told not until I was working myself. My first day at work I passed a pet shop on the way home and the shop owner told me that 1 pup had broken a leg when children had dropped it I couldn’t leave knowing they were in danger and had to take a lovely collie girl home. I was not popular with the parents for a week but they came round and she was a terrific family dog. I visited a local car boot sale once and at that time had 2 dogs who I had from pups. At the sale was a cross breed dog with its little head sticking out the car window over a sign that said dog free. You guessed it I became the owner of 3 dogs that day. My friend breeds border collies and I always have 1 or 2 of her dogs in the mix. I have loved every dog that shared my life no matter what their back story.
I only go visit Ballater/Crathie in the summer but next year plan on getting a decent filter for the camera and would be happy to share the photos.
Good afternoon Shauna from Caroline in Italy. In my opinion H&M wanted to make a fool of the Daily mail, maybe use it for ammunition in his ongoing court case against them as misinformation or diss information ...I never know the difference. I am surprised H has any friends left in the UK
I suspect that Harry planted the first article and Meghan planted the second. Get ready for a series of such articles, which will keep them in the public eye (and in their minds, relevant), whereas the public will, in fact, become even more cynical with and fatigued by their ongoing, boringly repetitive saga.
@@maryireland4253 💯
I suspect they were trying to see if they could come back (or at least he was) and didn't get the response they want so they pitched a temper tantrum "well we didn't want to come back anyway."

Good morning! FYI, it was reported last night in the US that Megsy baby has lost the right to copyright American Riviera Orchard. The article said she can’t copyright the name of a region and there is already a Santa Barbara Company called American Riviera selling candles. Sip!
Cheers! That is excellent news.
That makes sense. There have been videos reporting it but none have put forward the reason there was another company with a similar name.
All the things she starts and doesn’t follow through with are a smokescreen for what she and H are really doing behind the scenes, as part of the Censorship Industrial Complex, to censor freedom of speech on the Internet. They say it’s to protect children, but they want to shut down anyone who criticises them or uncovers uncomfortable truths.
@@ctempleman1401 So I use Bing as well as Chrome for my search engine. I can’t find the exact article but if you use Bing and look up Meghan Markel looses ARO copyright it will lay out all the reasons including the fact that the original application wasn’t signed. (Oh dear!) of course they point out she is appealing but I find it a fascinating bit to the saga non the less.

😘😘😘
We got our little ‘Shoodle’, Cookie, as a puppy because my hubby wanted a dog and my daughter and I decided to surprise him. However, on the day that we were collecting her, he was rushed into hospital with chest pains in a blue light ambulance! He was okay in the end and after a few days in hospital he came out to a gorgeous little puppy and was actually lost for words! She idolises him! Shauna, can we be introduced to your lovely mum on your gossip before bed please. Your relationship with her sounds very much like mine and my daughter (and mine and my late mum). 😊
I have had rescue dogs (& cats) for many years. My current two are both black because I learned they spend far more time in rescue. Lucky is a Labrador: his hobbies are sleeping, eating & walkies. Tina, the cat, is a feisty little madam & rules all of us.
My hubby and I have been married 54 years, we have had gerbils, cats, dogs, kids and grandkids along the way. But I would really love to have a little poodle. I used to look after one for a friend and they are so smart, affectionate and good company. But hubby says it would probably outlive us and what then? Which makes me go off the idea. Also, I’m not very mobile, so wouldn’t be able to walk it too far, just round the block on a good day.
Anyway, we joke to each other that if hubby goes first I’m getting a poodle, his retort to that is, if I go first he’s getting a Thai bride, to which I tell him, I’ll come back and haunt him if he does!
Go for it Shauna... Wring out the best of both worlds with the two very experienced and talented men..
It's all a win, win. 👍💜
Hello Shauna my husband has passed but I remember a time all the kids we on their own and I had a chance to go with my husband on a job he was a pipefitter so he traveled a lot it was the best time for us we found each other again and I cherish that memory to this day miss him so much ❤
On my 2nd pibble rescue😊 She was in an abusive situation then doggie jail for 18 months, But we are working with her to overcome her trauma. She needs reassurance, people, love & lots of fuzzy pillows & blankets❤❤❤❤
Lucky dog! Such a lovely outcome! 💕💕💕
Evening Shauna. Braving an extra coffee. 11.30pm wednesday here in kiwiland husband passed away nearly 7 years ago. A couple of years ago i was asked out.... i didnt know what to say.... married for 20+ years.... i told him i still felt married, so obviously wasnt eeady, and now im too selfish and just dont want to be with anyone else.
After losing my husband of 40yrs I understand that. I'm comfortable with just having myself to consider. It sounds selfish but I always worried about & looked after everyone else. I now do exactly what I want when I want.
I love your chatter Shauna - don't stop.
Not a widow (long time married, long time divorced) but I’m just uninterested in a relationship!! Everyone is much more concerned with my old age years and don’t hear me really and my preference to be alone (I might change who knows!)
I think I would be the same! 💕🙌
So happy to hear the beautiful poodle found a loving happy home ❤
Yes so was I. If I’d had a bigger car it would have been tempting!
I was chatting with my mum on day. We have kept all our lovely dog’s ashes over the years I said that I wanted all my dogs buried with me. She said “I don’t think that’s aloud”. She thought I meant my dogs that were still alive. Lol ❤❤
Oh no! 😂
Around here (Sussex Coast) there are many rescue dogs brought to the UK from Greece, Bulgaria, Roumania, Spain etc. 16 miles away there is a rescue centre for all manner of animals but I am a longterm fosterer for the Cinnamon Trust a charity for the elderly and their pets. Their main office is in Cornwall but they help animals throughout the UK. My 2nd foster was for a beautiful papillon bitch who lived in Edinburgh and was driven down here to me but she had a brain tumour so only lived 10 months with me. As a longterm fosterer I look after the dogs for the remainder of their lives. Most of the dogs are elderly themselves and so far the longest time one has lived with me was almost 3 years. My present dog Daisy hopefully will spend another 4 years with me. She has been here for almost 2 1/2 years and is a delight. I opened my garden on Saturday for a party in aid of the church where I worship, Daisy had the time of her life going around all the visitors for a tummy rub. People were very generous and donated £202 in 2 hours!
Lady C said it's mainly a rumor........about H looking for a way back. She has good resources...
We recently (6 weeks ago) picked up Roger (a kelpie/boxer) from a rescue shelter in Bendigo to be an addition to the family and brother to our 2yr old Jack Russell (Denis). It is always a shock to the system to get a new dog even if they're a 'good boy'. he is about 9 months old and he has a lovely nature, very playful and full of energy and learning the ropes so quickly. It's the trainer who has to learn how to lead and I've had a crash course! Also, there's been a bit of adjustment for Denis who has been used to the bed, the people, the toys etc all being his alone and he is having to learn to share!!! But 6 weeks in, thankfully, and with me being more aware of triggers, things have settled down and my heart just melts when they play well together. This must be what it is like when a mother brings home their second child from the hospital and number 1 child has to learn to be a sibling and share their parent's attention.
Good job! I’m sure Denis loves having a playmate now!
Publicly or privately...
NO. They can never be trusted.
Oh Shauna, you crack me up! I’m crying laughing at your funny stories. Thank you !!! 👍❤️🌺
I am now 69 & had eight Border Collies, now have 5 left & still grieve the three over Rainbow Bridge. My first Border Collie I found at the stables, tied to my stable door with a note, 'Please take me home' - the beginning of my love ❤️ story with BC's x
Harry is just so jealous of his brother and his family, Diana was still young enough to remarry and have children, can you imagine how jealous and nasty he would be especially a girl, he would be jealous and full of hatred having to share his Mother with another Family....
My husband and I started dating at 18... he was in the boys' school a year ahead of me. We have been together for 48 years. Am totally in agreement with you about the maintenance and hard work required to date another bloke. Definitely another dog would be my option too and I would be able to have it on my bed as hubby is a bit allergic so our dogs have never been allowed on the bed.
My brothers wife died , along with his 2 sons ( aged 31, just turned 6 , and 18 months) years ago ( 1978)… he later remarried, had twin boys and then another son, with a woman that was a bit younger and , quiet frankly, she was nutters…. Years and years and years after they divorced… in his sixties, he got sick, had a little bit of esophageal cancer-which was treatable.. but his old girlfriend from highschool went and visited him in the hospital…. They were each others first true love, sparks reunited, and they got back together, had a fabulous time , he was so happy …. He was 13 yrs older than me, and I was a young kid when he was in highschool… so, to get to have the family car ( this was in the 60’s) , he’d take me along on many of their dates , I always remembered her and loved her as well, we all did …. He went on to university and life went on, another brother.. 3 years younger than he was, dropped out of university and joined the US marines.. prompting my older brother to change over from ROTC while in college ( sort of an officers training program while in college/university) and enlisted in the US army because his little brother wasn’t going to Vietnam while he was still in school… became a helicopter pilot, and went to Vietnam about 2 months after the younger brother got back from Vietnam…. So his relationship with her, Lynnie…. Didn’t survive, and he met and married his wife who then died nine years after he got back and was out of the service.
They acted line high school kids again… went all over the place, as they were both retired then, got to Italy , the UK, golfed in Scotland…. They both worked on their bucket lists, and were delightful to be around … it was A GOOD thing!!
Sadly he died two years ago, very quickly and unexpectedly, at 73…. Lynn is still considered our sister .. and always will be .. there is always hope !!!
She truly was the Late Great Queen Elizabeth II. Many thanks to all the brave British people who dug people out of the rubble. Our hats off to you. ❤🇨🇦🍁
Oh Shauna, that nurse story reminds me of my cousin. She worked for a company that handled hazardous materials. While visting a company and meeting the new manager, she accidently slammed his hand in the car door! She took him to the emergency room. That resulted in a marriage! 😂😂😂
Fancy the James Hewitt story sip ☕️
Shauna you are perfect the way you are. Ignore the negative ferrets 😊
Hi Shauna, we’d been happily married for 37 years when hubby suddenly passed. It’s now been nearly 19 years and I’ve never been interested in anyone else. One of hubbys saying used to be “ who wants mincemeat when you have rump steak at home. Well, ditto for me. I’ll be hubbys wife till I see him again and, I’ve always said, huge hug then a kick in the shins for leaving me 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
😘😘😘💕💕💕
…..fillet steak at home” 🥰
Please do "Ask Not"The women the Kennedys destroyed" by Maureen Callahan and Princess Mary by Elizabeth Basford about the late Queen's aunt. I read Wallis in Love and was surprised that Morton hasn't written a fan book like the Diana book. I loved it but still would prefer Wallis over meg after all she was named in the best dressed list all the time plus she did not publicly slag off the Royals.
Cheers Denise is doing it NOW! 😊💕
@beverleightodd5710 yes! It is phenomenal!
Years ago we owned a Jack Russell terrier, and boy, are they active little creatures. Ours was an enthusiastic digger, and his prize achievement was an absolute bomb crater in the middle of the back yard. His greatest joy was to take off running across the yard, bounce into the hole, jump out the other side & finish crossing the yard, then turn around and go back the other way. We left the hole there because he got so much fun out of it and kept himself amused for hours.
I can imagine it! 😂
I suspect it's Markle who continually references Diana in "Harry's quoted comments". The Royal Family is the Harkle's currency and Diana's memory is their most valuable commodity.
Too bad H and M don't realize that even those members of the public who adored Princess Diana are tired of hearing her referenced every time H opens his mouth. Her currency is declining in value due to over-exposure.
I agree Shauna. I don’t agree with Phil’s views on Meghan Markle but he is a fascinating journalist and I enjoy listening to you both discussing issues. In today’s world, some people forget that you can disagree without getting angry! Look forward to Phil’s next appearance, Andrew Lownie too.
Rod Stewart put out an amazing response to his critics. He signed the post in the best way.
