: I thought this true story might bring smiles to a few faces: A couple of weeks ago I was busy selling at a Boot Sale - fund-raising for my sweet Toby. An old lady came by and began chatting as she looked through the bric-a-brac, and i mentioned Toby and why i was there etc. She said "oh dear - so what's wrong with him" i told her about his difficulties and how we were now helping him and also how his eldest brother had once had the same difficulties. Rather than words of encouragement, delight or such like she said "oh my god, Two of them, you HAVE been unlucky"! I replied "well, actually they have both been very special gifts". She stared at me [in disbelief - i suppose] and moved on without another word OR a donation to Toby's Fund!! I could only love her!!
