AWWWWWW! This is lovely. I'm glad you enjoyed Charlie's story. So sorry it made you cry. I've been away, so just catching up. We loved Charlie very much. He was a real character. We do have new guinea pigs now, but Charlie always has a special place in our hearts.
Sorry to hear you have health problems. I hope the news when it comes in isn't too awful. We are undergoing some investigations ourselves. My husband is due to see a neurologist because there are so many weird things, we're starting to wonder if he has early stage Parkinson's.
