[Scrumpy]

She was very excited to speak to me.. 
She doesn't have her dog Trixie any more but has let Trixie go to another GOOD home..
She said ' I couldn't bear to see her stuck in doors all the time.. she deserved better.. I am very sad.. i miss her'.
She also told me that she has been in hospital many times and has been diagnosed with breast cancer..
'Guess what Scrumpy dumpy wummpy..?  They have taken my driving license away.. They told me I am not safe to drive'
' Well you're not bloody safe to drive.. I wouldn't like to be crossing the road when you are behind the wheel'..
'I wouldn't run YOU over Scrumps'
'Just the others eh!!'
She giggled..
She has carers who come in daily.. I asked if they were kind to her she replied 'No'..
Her reply made me so sad that I wanted to cry..
Then she came back with 'I'm a tough old bugger Scrumps'..She had to go because she needs to be on oxygen.. But asked if I would phone her again..
