I haven't seen my Mia for several weeks as serious illness crept up on me and I've just had five weeks in hospital and am now being cared for in a nursing home where I'm thankfully recovering and learning to walk again. Mia is currently being fostered by a lovely lady who is treating her like a family member and being allowed all the freedoms she has at home. It's such a comfort to me to know she's safe and being looked after so well although I am missing her a lot.

So true - they are family members.

Sorry to hear about your illness - sooner you are reunited with Mia the better both of you will feel (great therapy).
Best wishes. Guy.
