    Happy New Year! I've just been for a long walk, enlivened by the many dogs I met on the way. Clean jeans are now ruined, but a small price to pay for the lift in my spirits patting lovely dogs. At the risk of being presumptious John, have you ever considered setting up a go fund me page to help with the vet bills? I can no longer have a dog in my retirement flat but I have derived such pleasure from the photos of your pets and the stories of what they get up to. As pets age, they of course cost us more at the vet and I am sure there are many readers like myself who would be happy to contribute a few pounds now and then as I feel that your lovely animal family, that you are kind enough to share with us, provide lots of people with surrogate pets. Sorry if I'm sticking my oar in.

    1. Yes, I have also been thinking a Go Fund Me page would be entirely appropriate for this special man and his pets at this point in their lives. I don't know how it all works - does anyone out there know how to go about it? Jocelyn

    2. John, which veterinary establishment do you take your pets to? We could send money there on your account and there would be no fees taken out.
      Or...we could send it through Paypal and you could use it to pay your vet bills.

    3. A lovely thought but no.... its my job to sort them out . Its just been a hard few weeks as every one but albert has had to be seen by the vet....mary's op was covered 70% by insurance
      Winnie has more or less recovered from her stroke and ive paid for williams bills already. Just George's to go xxxxx

    4. I see you have firmly closed this idea John but can I just say, go fund mes take about ten percent in fees. Direct payments are always better.

    Wishing you a healthy and peaceful year ahead xx

  10. May 2019 be a better year, John. No way to go around the bad, best is to just go through it. Rely on your friends, those who love you. We aren't meant to go it alone. Whether you wanted to or not, you've been an inspiration to others. We don't regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it, if it can be helpful to someone else. Much love to you, from Illinois.

  16. Maybe The John Gray Fan Club could crowd fund your vet bills? I wouldn't volunteer to set it up but I would donate a fiver.

  19. New year, new beginnings, and a clean page - may it be a really happy one for you John.

  20. You could always try getting a red light, pimping yourself out and then there would be no need for night shifts.

    Take it as easy on yourself as you can dear man. X

  27. Adding my New Year's good wishes, for you, your multitude, and pretty much everybody else in the world and indeed on other worlds (apart from the nasty people/creatures/things).

  29. It's a metaphor. Wash away the old year. The new one will smell better :)

  31. Happy New Year! I like Jenny-O's metaphorical interpretation. :)

  32. Happy New Year! I know your doggies get more than an annual bath but it looks a bit like she's getting a rare treat. It just needs to be in a tin tub in front of the fire!

    You must sometimes wonder if it would have been a wiser move to have studied vet nursing...

  35. You have my sympathy, John, over the vet bills. We never anticipate them and can't avoid them if we love our pets. xx
