Lovely blog - glad all is good and hopefully staying that way - your garden is gorgeous - would love to have that touch of beauty you have done

So pleased for you Conker...... love your pics of the garden and Truffle, Crocus is a very pretty budgie....
Happy gardening for 2011 to you and your mum TT......

Happy gardening to you too, so glad Conker had good news today, loved your photos TT & i cant stop laughing at Conker with the watering cans sooo funny nice to see your garden from the summer too..thanks for making me laugh ..i needed that today :o))

Glad to hear you are O.K, and the garden looks lovely. Maybe it would be less tiring to use the hose rather than all those watering cans, especially if you are going to need them all.

I could be wrong, but I think a dog would find it easier to use a hose that watering cans.

By the way, don't bite the hose too hard unless your Mum wants a sprinkler.

LOL

Happy 2011.

Wonderful news TT, Conker looks fantastic. Let's hope that he will continue in his good health, a relief for you definitely.
All love from me, Sylvia and Mrs. Tommy (still slumbering soundly) xxxx

Very please for Conker TT, your garden is absolutly wonderful, I love the colours, I'm due to get a badge from the Royal mail re the new stamps with Gromit and Co, did you by any chance try to get one. Limited edition I believe, 20,000.

i saw the stamps ~ thought they were going to be bigger than they were but what is the badge?

so pleased to hear such good news conker, your garden looks beautiful.

Thanks Littlelegs ...
Yes, a great relief to have good news for Conker ...
I have the Wallace and Gromit stamps in postcard size ..

Hi Yorks ...
We're relaxing today, after the tension of the vet clinic visit yesterday...

Let's hope we all get lots of colour in our gardens this year .. :o)

Thank you, Geraniumdad and Nana d. :o) x

I was browsing the royal mail site at the end of last year and there was a little pop up saying about new stamps,and The badge was offered to the first 20'000 people who e.mailed in. Last week I recieved an email telling me I was one of the lucky one's. I feel guilty now TT, I should have let you know about it at the time, sorry.

Not a problem ... we have the "real" Gromit in our Gravel Gardens.... ;o) Lol.

That's wonderful news Conker I'm sure your mum is thrilled to bits to know that you and Truffle will be helping her out in the garden this year watched over by Crocus through the window .. xx

Conker, you're a star..and may you shine, especially for all your Goyer friends, for many years to come xxx
I wish you many years of good news Terra.

Thanks, Tetrarch ... xxx

Conker has done so well...
It was back in the spring of 2009, very soon after his 5th birthday, that Conker underwent the life-saving operation by the cancer specialists ... and then the months of chemo ... lots of lots of travelling to and from the vet clinic ..

Amazing that in March, he'll have reached 7 years old ...
... I hope he's an inspiration for anyone fighting cancer ...
... medicine and technology are advancing all the time :o)

Ive been there TT so know what its like..considering all he's gone thru, he has an amazing temperament..Im sure he is an "old soul", he has such wise, humerous eyes..

Didn't realise, Tetrarch, you'd been through similar to Conker ... it is an endurance test, isn't it ...

Conker does have a good temperament...:o)
He has been very tolerant with lively young Truffle who was a mere puppy when Conker first became ill ... little Truffle didn't understand why his Sheltie friend couldn't play any more ... but now they run around at top speed together with their rope toys, making me laugh :o)))

Lol at least they are all having fun which is good.:o))

Hi Sixpence .. yes... Lol.
... Crocus is playing with his whizzer toy ...
... Truffle is squeaking his dinosaur toy ...
... Conker is enjoying his nylon bone ....
... it's party time here :o)))

Hope they are not making too much noise we don't want an asbo placed on them lol.

Lol.. ASBO on noisy squeaky dinosaurs ?

Anti Social Brontosaurus Order ;o)

Lol hehe, Yes that would nt suprise me of the authorities today not one bit.

'elf & safety' will visit to do a risk assesment......

Some things gone wrong with the site, Terratoonie as no pictures on here they ve all gone and some other member s too. I ve sent a message to Ajay and Peter about it..

Brilliant start to the New Year for you all. Your energy is infectious. Happy Gardening in 2011.

Hi Sixpence ... pictures seem okay now :o)

Thanks, Scotsgran ...
I hope 2011 is happy and healthy for you. :o) xxx

Ajay and Peter said it must of been a clitch in the sever where they store their pictures, so we will know in future won't we, it was nt only your pictures that was nt there others too but not all.

Good to know all the GoY photos are back in place :o)

Lol yes it is Terratoonie.:o))

What a truly talented blogger you have become Conker!! Loved this, and know what you and your mum were going through after Raff's cancer scare last September...Such wonderful, fabulous, fantastic news...I am grinning from ear to ear! Stay healthy little lad, we are all rooting for you...and you really do have the best 'mum' in the world! \0/xxxx

Thanks for such a lovely comment, Flori ...

Good thing that Conker has his own computer, or I would never get a look-in on GoY ...

I'm glad that Raff is feeling better too...:o) xxx

Thanks Terra....I will keep you updated.....I am still smiling from my heart at your wonderful news....\0/xxx

Chuffed to bits for you all what great new's, loved the blog and the pictures. :o))

Thank you Mavis and Lauram ...
Conker is enjoying life ...
... lots of games with Truffle ...

... and looking forward to spending more time in the garden as the weather improves :o)

Conker carry on conquering the cancer you wonderful little dog. Great blog and pics TT xxx

Thanks Dotty...
When Conker was a tiny puppy, it was forever a case of "She stoops to Conker"... Lol...
At the moment, Conker looks very fit and perky :o) xxx

♡♡♡From me .

Congrats Terra on your 'Bornagain's Flowerpot' Award!

Thanks Dotty and Pip :o)

Hi TT
Not been on here for ages, various reasons including heart checks, as they were looking to do surgery, but after numerous tests, decided things weren't as bad as they thought, so that's on hold, but have been worrying for a few months, and been quite breathless too, some of which I'm sure was to do with the worry. Anyway, enough of me, I'm so pleased to see Conker looking SO well! You must be so relieved that he is in remission, and Truffie has his friend back to his normal self.
My garden is looking very tatty at the moment. Am getting someone in next month. He's going to build me some large wooden raised beds, and make it all low maintenance, am also thinking of getting the ground shingled as that is such a mess with weeds and moss.
Spent a couple of hours out there today cutting back, and feeding everything, really enjoyed it. Quite a few things died in the horrible winter we had, but lots survived too.
Best wishes
Jean x

Hi Jean...
Nice to hear from you ... I hope your heart problems aren't too bad ...

Good idea to make your garden low maintenance, and by getting help with the raised bed construction that will give you new enthusiasm...

With the shingle, don't choose too fine a shingle because cats might use it as a loo... choose a slightly larger size of stones..

Most gardeners lost some plants due to the cold weather... best to look on it as an opportunity to try some new plants..

Yes, thanks ... Conker is looking well and really enjoys playing games etc. with Truffle :o) xxx
