Thank you chap! Sadie is an old lady now, will be 12 this year and for her breed, 10 and a half is average (chocolate lab, seem to be the shortest-lived of the breed, but that's most likely because they are nuts and massively active compared to golden and black).

I have been feeling a bit better this morning. Crisis team will be supporting me over the Christmas period. Had my booster jab yesterday, so hopefully, that will relieve some of the covid paranoia.

Saw a dental consultant at the hospital to be matter of factly told that most of my teeth are screwed and will require dentures (meh). Will be considering implants as an alternative but that's an expense I'll need to explore and budget for.
