Great post, PR.

Hopalong:
I just had a roomful of friends watching Downton here, with my pooch working the room.
She's trained them all. Other than food, she is motivated purely by being close to people
and being touched. She is a hoover for love!

It was so much fun to perch in my chair (she'd come jump on my lap for a bit now and then
for my particular pats) and watch her go from one lap on the couch to another lap in another
armchair, and then stand over my pal on the big floor pillow, and later gently nose the dog-shy
neighbor who's fallen in love with her. Every single time she'll just quietly turn up right beside
someone, and offer them her Very Persistent Patience until the arm goes out and the hand starts
moving and her bliss begins. Then she'll look across the room at me as though to
say, "This is just the coolest thing. You all stare at the noisybox and I'm getting this!"

If she were a cat she'd be purring. She is so tired after these marathon love-sessions (we
always watch the repeat of last week's show and then the new one) that after they leave
she staggers off to bed on her own. Just cracks me up.

What a tangent. What I really meant to say is that it hit me when I trundled off to bed
that opening up VESMB and reading all these extraordinarily loving and incredibly genuinely
supportive messages is just as real as the 3D friendships and in many ways more intimate.

I can't thank you all enough. (And hello, Ann!)

For some reason I went back and read pages of my posts going back 10 years. It's like
a journal and I couldn't even take in all the things I've lived through during this time.

All I know is that I think you people are the very reason I have made it so far. Nobody
has been so patient, so responsive, so repeatedly welcoming, almost ever in my life.

Thank you, every one. And Doc G...hope you know.

With much gratitude,
Hops

You sound so centered and happy, Hops.

Hopsie stuff like this makes me happy :)  I have this lovely image of you now, N Boss relegated to to the past, lovely new job on the horizon, woo woo moments with nice man who sounds like a good egg and a room full of friends with happy pooch and Downton!  Something I think is a good by product of going through bloody awful situations is that you can have those lovely moments of simple pleasure - some good company and a bit of security and all is well.  Hooray for Hops :) xx
