I started our blogging adventures back in September 2011 with a blog called Me, Myself and I it was mainly just my ramblings about work and life in general, with added stories about the naughty things my Cocker Spaniel Badger used to get up too. Badger's antics soon became so popular that he needed his very own blog and Badger Boo's Daft Adventures was born I was medically retired from my much loved job due to my health three days before Christmas in 2012, I'd been fighting for five long years to stay within my job after an accident at work, but in the end I felt so let down by my employer that l admitted defeat and accepted the medical pension I'd been offered  When we lost Badger our original star I lost my way for a while and stopped blogging altogether, I hadn't meant to stay away for so long but coming back I soon realised I needed to change my blogging style completely, I could no longer write stories from a dogs point of view, it just didn't feel right any more These days I write as myself about the ups and downs of being the sole caregiver to my parents who now both sadly have Dementia, as well as the antics Boris and Eko get up too and much more inbetween which helps to keep the mood light  |

I'm lucky enough to still have both my parents who are in their 80's now, mum unfortunately had a stroke in April 2021 with a subsequent diognosis of vascular dementia, then in October 2022 my dad was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, to complicate things even more my dad was also then diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the start of March 2023
I doubt I'll ever run out of the daft things my parents and I get up too on this journey, dementia is unfortunately the gift that keeps giving the further you get down the rabbit hole with it. We always try to laugh about the silly things both said and done, it's just too depressing to think about it otherwise
All of Badger Boo's Daft Adventures which were narrated as himself can still be found here on the blog, they still get regular views which is why we opted to keep all of his posts and rename his blog, rather than re-start a whole new blog for Boris and Eko
