    Doesn't look that bad, I bruise considerably when I have a normal blood test and not instantly either, it could be referred bruising from the donation or it could be nothings to do with it, are you uk

      Thank you for the comments it's made my day, I think we are so lucky to be able to have pets, I'm a massive believer in the reasoning that they actually help us to deal with the stresses of life in general including mental and physical illnesses

      Can't beat a good cuddle and a good belly laugh and they definitely make me do both

      Can't agree more. Even a slightest interaction with a doggo makes us go from 1 to 10 on the scale of happiness. No doubt they're one of the best gifts given to us 😍😍
