Not boring at all Lorna - so glad to hear that Elsa is on the mend. I know how you felt, it's terrible when our pets are ill - as you say, they are another member of the family. As for letting her sleep on your bed, she will probably expect it now ;D - my two start off in their own beds, but usually end up pushing hub and I almost out of bed :o Shouldn't really I know, but after all, they are not on this earth for long and I am afraid we are very soft with our pets :)
