I love this, I feel like I know you. I also got a a dog, her name is Prudence, we call her Prue for short, and Prudencia when she is mischievous. Its lovely to meet you. Jacqui.

Thanks so much Lily - that’s exactly the kind of feedback I hope I’d get on that post. There is another in the works on the slightly bizarre story about how Kim and I met - the universe was definitely on a mission! I love the name Prudence what type of dog is she? Would be great to see a photo of her. Evie was meant to be Lulu when we got her but we didn’t have the heart to change her name when we saw that she already recognized her name as Evie.

I am excited to read that one, I love to read stories about how people found each other. I tried to attach a photo of Prue but the comment section does not have that option available. She is a doodle, half English sheep dog and poodle. At least that's what the rescue told us. She was a puppy when we got her, rescued with her siblings from a bad situation. I would love to see a picture of Evie as well.

Wow what a lovely combination - she must be a wonderful dog. And yes of course! I'll tag you on one of my posts with madam in it.

Good to know more about you, Jacqui. Of course, when you write about illness, that's the first thing people will know about you, so it's great to see the bigger picture.

Thanks Wendy. It felt a bit self-centred to write, but I knew it had to be done. 😎

Thanks Clare - funny how you can know somebody for a long time, but you'll never normally touch on a lot of these little things about your past.

Completely agree. The C&A part was the biggest surprise 😂
