dear Fifi, I have been reading all the posts, and just because I may not verbally reply doesn't mean that I don't care, because I do and everyone who is on this site is very important to me, so please accept my apologies for not getting to you.
When we have depression we could sleep 20 hours a day, but when we wake up we feel as though we haven't had wink of sleep, so it's always a vicious circle, and what this does is it makes us feel worn out 24/7.
Puppies are so beautiful and cute but they are hard work.
I had my youngest son stay with for a few weeks with his dog who is about 12 or 13 years old, but blow me down, she was pregnant, and out of the 8 pups only 2 survived, and as they grew bigger both of us were running around, checking on them, and then feeding them, so that they could go to a good home, and fortunately both of them went to 2 owners, which I had to organise as he had to go back to work, and that is about 9 hours away.
With your menagerie of animals would make your life so busy, but as you say 'mumma needs a sleep', so I do hope that you can. L Geoff. x
