This little dog inherited his name from the family's previous dog - who was a lurcher!
Shortly after we spoke in the park with Quick and his lady owner, I came over dizzy and collapsed as we started to walk home.
A few days' stay in the hospital acute unit followed. Long story short: the worst-case scenario not realised, no brain problems but investigations did reveal an undiagnosed heart condition. No worries and now have appropriate meds. So it's all's well that ends well. Came home yesterday.
I know the NHS is generally in a parlous state but, once past admission in A&E, the emergency care was swift, efficient - and wonderful.

Wow, that was a frightening episode, so glad it had a positive outcome in the end. Poor Ray must have been in a panic having to leave you to fetch help.

Julie, thank you and so grateful I was not out walking on my own.

Thank you Merrelyn, and yes scary for Ray at home not knowing always what was happening. I am fine now.
