Annie

Off to my bed soon as I have to work tomorrow, so I'll wish you all a Happy New year and that 2009 is a good year for you, your family and animals

I like your style Cup of coffee and a couple of Quality Street.......oh ok, half a dozen then

OH has just left to go into Brighton to sort out one of my pressies that was broken, I fear he may be some time Shame, I'll just have to have a cuppa and put my feet up while he's gone

I stupidly thought that I could go to our local tesco for a few bits this lunchtime as I usually do........couldn't even get a parking space so went 3 miles down the road to sainsburys where I parked immediately I think the problem here is that as well as people shopping for new year, tesco and M&S next door both have sales.

Hi everyone, Sid here Mum says it's my Gotcha Day today and I've been here 8 years. She has promised lots of sausages today and more presents No doubt she will take pictures later but here are a few of me that mum likes Handsome Sporty Cute Daft

I have the *pleasure* of Tesco this evening From reading this thread I'm thinking I may need to borrow some of the American Football gear my OH has in the garage and just plough my way through with shoulder pads and helmet That is of course if I can park in the first place

I have Guylian Belgian Cocolate seashells.......I also might be feeling a little bit ick from eating too many

Still thinking of all poorly peeps and hounds Also those having a horrid time at christmas because of families being right pains in the a**e I've been meaning to thank Wendbert for posting the link a while back for hotterdog jumpers, I now have 3 very smart hounds ready for the cold weather Edited to hope lickle gerbil gets on ok at vet

Happy homecoming Monty Love from us all and kisses from Miya x

Thank you for your kind thoughts Miya is home and well, wearing a very fetching T shirt and her very best *woe is me* expression

So many poorly fugees and dogs If you have a few good thoughts spare can you think of my Miya tomorrow as she had an argument with some barbed wire today and lost! She is having a GA and stitch up tomorrow morning as it has ripped the muscle too

The hoomans here have no respect for me

Found this little video and I thought it looked a little bit like Owls Wispa and how she would probably act in the snow http://www.dogwork.com/dogsnow/

It does smell a little odd, but that's just the chemicals. They do treat the deceased with as much dignity and respect as is possible when they are doing what they have to. I'm sure it will be fine, don't let it worry you

Jacobean is right I have seen many dead bodies and they are no different to live apart from the breathing bit. Usually any trauma will have been tidied in the hospital before they arrive. The actual embalming process is quite discreet (well it was where an ex oh worked) Concentrate on the fixtures and fitting and you'll be fine.......beware the undertakers graveside humour, they aren't being disrespectful it's just how they cope

Anyone looking for cheap stocking fillers http://www.grabitnow.com/ have 2 mp3 players for £8

melp - your nekkid men went in the post yesterday, enjoy for poor George and his mum It's bright and chilly here today and if it stays this way I will be taking hounds (and camera) to the beach at lunchtime

Thanks for the replies to the hypothetical question Very helpful

Hypothetical question...... Dog adopted Dog given up as didn't fit in for various reasons (which are dubious) Adopter now asking for refund of adoption fee Would you/should you refund money

Glad you had a good time Wendbert, looking forward to Sirius's blog Poosa really had a fab time in africa, love her blog Sorry you are having to wait for results Alex elricc, so you should be proud, he's a credit to you RandomRoachingPic and yes, I'm sitting on the floor again tonight

I've had a lovely morning chatting and drinking coffee with my friend and her baby girl Shame I came home to a house that looks like a bomb has hit it courtesy of my dear OH who couldn't find something, turned everything upside down then went to work Hope he isn't expecting any dinner tonight I am about to put the christmas tree up, here's hoping it gets me more in the mood for christmas

Happy December everyone Weather dull here but I'm off later to meet a friend for coffee and a gossip

Sounds like the ones Penel on Lurcher Link did last year A fawn pointy in pink frills wasn't it

When I have bought coats from TRPD it's the measurement is from back of neck to base of tail
