Happy Post :)

This is my happy post!  Yesterday I had another best day.  I had my very own dog show and Mabel did really well and we won loads of rosettes and I didn't stop smiling all day.  Loads of doggy people came along and Mabel loved playing with all the other dogs and her best friend from puppy classes came along, she's called Molly and they were so pleased to see each other.  The judge was so nice as well and she has had a battle of her own and so I think she knew what it's like.  My sister had to show Bess who is our old black labrador and Bess only uses three legs, even though she has four, so we all laughed at poor Milly. Simon and Cathy who own the kennels were so lovely and the sun even came out and we just all had such a nice day.  Mabel won the best puppy in show and she was very proud of herself but then she won the best dog in show and I did wonder a bit.
We were raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital, Anthony Nolan Trust and for Cancer Bio Dogs who train dogs to sniff for cancerous changes in our wee which is a bit yucky but amazing.  The lady who came from Cancer Bio Dogs asked if they can call their next puppy Alice, after me.  So Alice will be around for years helping save lives. 
I haven't worked out how to load more photos onto here yet, I think I can only have one in a box but I'll have a think and then I'll ask mum lol.
And tomorrow, i think I'll have jaw ache because I'm going in a private plane which feels dead posh and I'm flying up to Scotland and I'm going to go and jump in with some sharks.  I've wanted to do this for ages and ages and now that I am, I'm a bit nervous. Well a lot nervous but I hope that I still do it.  My dad is going with me so I'll make sure we take lots of photos and when I work out how to do the Mabel ones I'll do a shark one as well.
Emma Bridgewater are going to let me go down to their real place and design a mug of my own which I can't wait to do but I think they'll need lots because my mum will want to buy them all.  I'm excited for that and I have a design idea already.
I'm going to go and snuggle up and watch Desperate Housewives now which is my favourite program.  Thank you for following me and thank you for your nice messages, have you joined the register yet? lol

    Yes, I have, Alice (joined the registry)! You are such an amazing young person.

    I enjoy reading your posts on days when I feel absolutely miserable, and if you can keep a positive outlook with everything going on in your life, I can be less bothered by the trivial junk that goes on in mine.

    Keep smiling, kiddo!

    OH yay!!! You DO get to swim with the sharks. Hurry and figure how to post the pictures!! I know how - and I could try to help you on here, but awfully hard to tell you by email how to accomplish!

    Don't chicken out with the sharks! You'll be safe in a cage...

    How absolutely fascinating. I'm so excited to read about it!

    Don't worry about the post pals. I make dolls and I will make some and find a way to send them. We know there are a minority of idiots around. Lots of love to you. xxx

    Dear Alice:
    When you go to upload your photos and pick which ones you want - you can hold down "CTRL" and click which ones you want :) Then click "Upload Selected".
    Then click on each photo and you can place them (left, right , center) and change the size...they'll appear HUGE at first :).

    Congrats on your trip and the puppy win! :)

    I'm so pleased that the dog show went well & that the weather was good. I'm really sorry to hear about the nasty people who have hacked into the postpal account. Has your mum reported it to them or the Police? Can't wait to hear about your shark dive :-s & to see the Emma Bridgewater designs. Have fun! xx

    Hi Alice,
    I just found your blog and I'd like to suggest a few things for your bucket list. Have you ever gone camping and watched the sunrise from your sleeping bag? done a charity run/walk?
    I see that you wanted to be a dolphin trainer, have you ever swum with them? would Sea World or somewhere that does dolphins shows let you help their trainers out for a couple of hours?
    I totally agree with you making the most of life, don't want you to miss out on too much! Claire

    I am so glad that you could have your dog show and will get to swim with sharks. You are a role model to all, and someone that I will think of, every time I'm terribly sad about something relatively trivial. You continue to project bright thoughts to us all and I thank you for that. Do not let those who do not have the mental capacity to understand ruin your day with their rude remarks, hacking, and taking advantage of good people's kindness.

And have thought about donating bone marrow and the like. But have never actually done it. Will be interesting to see what comes of it when I send my swab kit back. Congrats on getting to tick off things on your bucket list! Swimming with sharks, you are a brave one! I'm too terrified of them, plus spiders, snakes and such. Go for it, you'll do great!

    Congrats on Mabel getting her ribbons and doing so well in the show. I have for many years, owned and trained Brittany's. My dogs all competed in show and field events and did very well. I know how good that pride feels when they do well!! :-)

    I also have a niece who used to work with Labs for The Seeing Eye here in the USA. They are such amazing dogs. So smart and fast learners too! I think Mabel is a beautiful dog!!

    If you or your mom can't figure out how to post pictures on here, mention it again and I'll be glad to help you with that.

    You take care and have a great trip to go see the sharks. Can't wait to hear about that!!!

    This may help you with how to post pictures within a post too. This is from the Google/Blogger help page. It's not really very hard and once you do it a few times you'll have no problem.

    Hope thishttp://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?answer=41641 helps:

    You actually start to post like you usually do but once you're on the page where you type your post, you go to the top,and click on the image icon. That lets you put the picture right on the post. You can then type under the picture also.
    You can also center it, or have it on the left or right of the post. Like I said before, I'd be glad to help if you or your mom want me to.

    I hope it's everything you dream of, how exciting - although I have to say if it were me I'd probably opt for jumping in with goldfish ;)

    So pleased that you, Milly, Mabel and Bess did so well at the show - WTG ladies YAY!!!! I hope your dad had a wondeful fathers day too watching his girls do so well :D

    I hope you raised lots of money for your chosen charities, and how special is it that such a special puppy will be named after you - AMAZING!

    Hi Alice,
    I am so pleased the dog show went well, it looked amazing!! I am over the moon you are flying up to swim with sharks today!!! Go Alice!!!
    I gave the clinic yesterday my best shot, I will organise another clinic in the near future but will have more time to publicise it and plan better.
    I have a slot on local radio coming up where I am going to try to encourage people to join up on the register, it would be good if they did the whole show about BM donation :-)
    Have a great day today ;-)

    You seem to be such a wonderful girl. I have followed you with great interest and emotion. I am currently waiting for my saliva kit from Anthony Nolan (I've been approved for the register, yay!). I probably wouldn't have considered joining if it hadn't been for your campaigning. Just think how many lives you are saving, you really are someone special.

    Well done to you and Mabel, we have a lab puppy and I can only imagine the fun you had trying to keep Mabel under control, Our Tilly would have run riot with all the other dogs to play with!!!

    I just wanted to let you know that I am one of the millions of people you have inspired to go get registered, I hate hospitals, doctors, dentists and all the other medical type's I avoid them like the plague normally, without you and your inspiring strength and composure in the face of adversity it would have been about the last thing in the world I would have done...

    So yet again, you have triumphed in making yet another selfish 30 somthing male from the UK wake up and smell the coffee and realise that I CAN DO something to make a difference, at no cost (apart from a little pain maybe) but as my mother would suggest, I've always been a little pain...

    Keep having the good days and rest assured you have been the catalyst for a million more good days for others.... Love to you and the family.

I just wanted to say well done for pushing on with the bone marrow register message - it puts all this stuff in perspective. I feel bad for hesitating but hope to go onto the register soon.

I also wanted to let you know that on Friday, I sent in my swab kit to be registered as a marrow donor. I did this because you asked me to, and that's the least I can do for a girl like you.

    Hello Alice. I found your blog and where very moved by what you write. I had a sister who died in 2003 from cancer. Miss her very much. You remind me very much about her, you both were / are so forward and caring. You thought of others more than yourselves. Read about the bad things that happened, it is terrible that there are such people, but I never stopped amazed. Steaming them stupid komentarer, fuck what people say they are just jealous that you reached out to the world, and accomplish something in spite of your illness and your age. You are incredibly strong in spite of your illness, I know that they are times we outsiders do not see but since I have been with and seen, I know. But you deserve all the best and I really hope you can fulfill all the things on the list.
    I wrote in my blog a bit about yourself that you are in any way touched me even though I do not know you. I cry with you, suffer with you, is happy with you. I would be happy if I could get a picture of you, maybe a letter and atugraf?
    As memory, I think about you every day and hope you will enjoy every moment you have left.

    I swam with sharks a few times, mostly in the Caribbean and Brasil's coastline.

    The best thing to keep in mind is that they are very smart fish. This means that they do not see you as prey, as most of the time, humans are almost as big as the sharks and when underwater we actually make a lot of noise, and smell pretty weird for them.

    So, don't worry, they won't look at you and see a ham sandwich :p

    Just don't pull their tails... did that once and was a pretty stupid move... thanks the shark was about 40cm.

    SOOo, have a nice evening and enjoy your dive!

    Alice,

    I live in Washington, DC, and came upon your blog last night when I just couldn't fall asleep. My boyfriend was snoring in my ears and I was going crazy. When I read your story, I realized that his snoring is nothing compared to what you are going through.

    You are definitely an inspiration to me and I wanted to share an inspiring story with you: It starts off sad, but ends wonderfully.

    A good friend of mine, Mindy, married a man, Derrick, who was suffering from leukemia. He passed away not long after their wedding. For a long time Mindy had trouble grasping what had happened, but once she was ready she took Derrick's memory and turned it into something spectacular.

    She created the Fight On Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps families deal with the many hardships and expenses that come along with fighting cancer. So far, they have donated more than $36,000 to families, held numerous bone marrow donor drives, and have worked with hospitals to provide 'Chemo Ducks' for pediatric cancer patients. If you would like to take a look at her organization, the web address is www.djdfighton.org.

    While Mindy isn't suffering the direct effects of living with cancer, I find that you and she have much in common. You both are able to take something that by no means is enjoyable, and turn it into an inspiration for others.

    Thank you for your resilience and your hope. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    My dad joined the registry and is swabbed and everything! He's been approved and is now an official bone marrow donor :) I think I'm a bit too young to be a donor though; I haven't checked...

    Sounds like you had yet another amazing day. I just love dogs soooooooo much! I love watching dog shows, and I'm so impressed that you won best dog! I think that your dog totally deserved it. Mabel is such an adorable name for a pet :)

    If you want to post photos easily you can create a Photobucket account at www.photobucket.com and upload as many photos as you want to an individual album. Then all you have to do is post the link to each album (for example, "Mabel's Dog Show") and then we can all enjoy viewing them.

    It's great to hear you had a best day! Here's hoping you have many, many more! Swimming with sharks sounds cool, though I might be a little freaked out if I tried that. I haven't registered to be a bone-marrow donor yet. I still have to talk about it some more with my parents. I'd really like to do so, though.

    Hope you have fun on the private jet and hanging out with the sharks!
