All I got was a pm asking the name of the rescue? I'm not on here much, I'm pretty busy (as you can probably tell as I'm on here about 5 minutes every few months), didn't think it was particularly important to reply immediately but apologies but not having replied straight away to your pm. I popped on to say thanks to people for replying on the thread. I don't know the exact name. One in Watford.

Dear God. 48 poorly socialised dals to rehome... I'm sure you can all guess how I feel about that. And my arse, all they did was eat and sleep.

Yeah apparently that is quite common with insurance policies, which I never realised. No more updates I'm afraid. Hope they've sorted something out and he's better anyway. Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I agree with you both, thank for your feedback. I've no idea how he is or where the kitten is as she's not updated me I found the idea of insurance not being valid for the first two weeks and the rescue not being prepared to help out either a bit odd - surely rescues must know there is a chance of a cat getting ill/needing veterinary care immediately upon leaving the rescue? I'm a bit cross with the woman to be honest - it's not like I'm made of money but I've always got the vet care then worried about paying for it as a secondary thought, as i think most of us here would. I think the vet would've kept him in ottherwise. Hopefully he's still alive, poor mite.

Someone on another forum has got a kitten from a rescue in Watford a few days ago. The insurance policy isn't valid for the first 14 days apparently but the kitten is very sick, dehydrated etc. The vet wanted to keep him in but due to money reasons the owner has taken him away with some meds and is keeping an eye on him for a few hours, trying to rehydrate him as she can't afford to have him stay in, although been told to take him back to go on a drip if he doesn't pick up in the next few hours. What would a rescue's policy be on this normally? The owner is saying the rescue are saying just to keep an eye on him, give him tlc and fluids and aren't helping out with the costs. What would be normal policy for a rescue under such circumstances? She's talking about giving him back if she can't afford the vet fees... I'm obviously worried the kitten's not getting the care he needs due to financial constraints

Yes but it's a door opening... they might give you more hours in time (that's what happened with my old lodger) and it will give you experience back in teaching to apply for other jobs etc... You never know what's round the corner Edited cos I am posting like it's a forgone conclusion See, I have faith in you!

Purdie loves the peanut butter cookies from Its a Spring Thing. Loads of recipes on there.

Customer service is something I have a real bugbear about these days, I'm turning into a right grumpy old woman..."in the old dayssss" - I hate that feeling that you are bothering someone for asking them to provide you with what's been promised. It'll all be alright on the night, as they say

The one I read was with champagne rather than wine (or is that just wishful thinking?!)

gentle for her

:wub:

Wow. I love the hippo one and of course the elephants especially but all gorgeous. Very jealous!

Excellent My gran goes to a couple and they have so much variety. I want to join just for the cakes alone

No advice but good luck Jules! Karma owes you a new job

If part of it is anywhere around Derbyshire/Leicestershire to Birmingham than I can help as I do that route regularly at the moment. No sense of geography so probably not really helpful but the offer's there

Good email Mog! I'd copy that word for word to send to Radio One except that Chris Moyles is an animal-hating nobber I have no idea why I still listen to his show, as he's not even a humorous nobber. Wonder if they read my text out? I had to switch the radio off after I sent it. Probably did and took the pee out of it!

Chris Moyles and his team on R1 about 10 mins ago carrying on about how great greyhound racing is and what a shame Walthamstow is closing - have taken the opportunity to text in to 81199 if anyone else wants to do the same.

Not knowing is the worst. Hope the time goes quickly and everything crossed for the Bumpety One

Aww Snatch get well soon

for you all.

Dallies are prone to uric crystals, usually they begin problems a bit younger than this and I guess the pooing probably wouldn't be related but it might be best to get that checked for specifically. Another thing I thought of is that my dal really hates going out for anyone other than me - as a breed they love to be around people if they know they are there, as they love people and are very curious. Often I have to stand outside with Purdie rather than just in the doorway so she knows she's not going to be shut out. Hope that helps That's a really good point. Dallies are particularly bad at generalising.

Oh dear Roareeee

How many times woman? MY HOUSE.

Yay Jess!
