Thank you all for your kind words yesterday. We are in the middle of a house reshuffle as Moss has never been on her own. We usually house- train puppies so that in case of medical recovery they can cope. So rather than have her stressing outside alone we now have them inside. I walked all three along the Canal it was strange 3 not 4 , the difficulty will come when everyone asks where is Bea? or "only 3?"  but the canal is my place of tranquility, the sound of this particular lock leaking is music to my ears. Thank you all once more.
