I've added some cows for scale.

I know I started the debate about gif or gif but to be honest I pronounce it video!

Precisely the reason I've never bought a dog, despite having wanted one my entire life. It's a big responsibility and one that should be taken seriously. Maybe if there was more than one dog it might be a bit better, but leaving a puppy to it's own devices all day, every day, seems really unfair to me. 

Safe to say Ruby has well and truly settled in now! Dogs are for life guys ?

Balderdash!
Looks to me like you're coping remarkably well with everything you've got to contend with this week.
You're a loyal worker and responsible parent, clearly. Stop beating yourself up for a minute and give yourself a pat on the back instead. Billy isn't going to be scarred by Cbeebies/whatever for a few days til you get back on your feet, fella.

When I was in my darkest period the professionals were absolutely useless and it’s not their fault but my girlfriend, friends (the proper ones) and family were all there... 4 months ago I was back in that darkest place when I found out my girlfriend was cheating on me... didn’t even bother trying with the professionals! My friends, family, this forum and more importantly this thread got me through. It’s still a fight but seeing other people in the same position rallying together and helping each other is 10x better what some bloke with a notepad can do.

I returned to work today to the news that one of my colleagues had tried to kill himself late on Christmas Eve and has been sectioned for his own safety.
Normally a lovely gentle giant type of bloke, he was behaving strangely at our work do on the 21st - being the life & soul of the party from the start and then very aggressive towards some of the others as the night went on - both of which are out of character. We all thought at the time that he was just getting drunk quickly but apparently he'd been battling his demons for months but only his wife knew.
Of course all us colleagues who would describe him as a friend are now looking for the signs that we missed along the way but there really weren't any until that night and even then, we just put it down to drinking too much & too quickly.
It's been said on here before but, for goodness sake, just talk & share your problems with those close to you - or strangers if that doesn't appeal. Help is there but you'll probably have to make the first move.
I shudder to think what two young kids almost woke up to on Christmas morning. I'm sure it was bad enough as it was.
