Yantan Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Alex I know what you mean about Milly George didn't want to go for a walk today but I made him as I needed to take Archie and can't leave George in his own in case he fits. I had to lift George in and out of the car.The poor old fella just dragged his feet behind us. He then went down to a stream he normally has a sit in but it was very swollen with flood water. The silly sod was in it before I could stop him and he had his coat on which became water sodden and wasn't helping the fact that he then found it difficult to keep his feet in the fast flow. I just jumped in and pulled him out, carried him to the car and put him in. And promptly burst into tears. He seemed so frail and old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 marion. Its awfull watching them struggle I had a pleasant couple of hours today with a young lady who brought her 'seizure alert' labradoodle to be clipped. He failed as a guide dog as he is too giddy but is thriving as an assistance dog. Her carer had let her down, as she was supposed to bring her, so this lady got the bus here, dropped the dog off and came shopping with me instead Im not in the habbit of taking customers shopping but she was happy to come along and did a bit of shopping too.

Gemstone Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Evening all Alex Di Marion I managed to get to work for 7am this morning and was very proud of myself It was only until 10 am though and then I spent all my wages in M&S anyway The reason that I haven't worked for so long is because I don't have anyone to look after the kids when they are off school, typically Daniel got sent home today because he is feeling poorly As Darren is out of work, it was not a problem but I don't know what would have happened otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Oh George and Marion Starting to be rather concerned about Wispa's leg. It got much better and now the improvement has stopped. We may well be off to the vet tomorrow if no better. A missing lurcher has been picked up as a stray after 3 years. Wokingham DW scanned and got the chip. 3 missing dogs have gone over the Bridge in the past few days though run free sweeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 normally if you send a parcel to an army base and its under 2kg, its free. except the government that claims for manure for their gardens, are trying to stop it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Evening I'm so sorry for all those who haven't long left with their beloved furries or are having to watch them get frailer. It's awful Julia I always assumed you didn't work because you had to look after your wonderful family. Pleased Andrew is back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobean Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Sorry Phebe meant to send you a hug and say I hope Wispa is a lot better in the morning but it sounds as though she needs to go to the vet bless her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesB Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I feel so sorry for all the people with animals who are shortly to leave them. It's a dreadful feeling, like carrying a rock about in your heart So sad about the missing dogs. I hope they are all happy at the Bridge. I have just screwed up my courage and tried to climb into the loft (think dark, very small hatch, very wobbly ladder, very claustrophic me) to get my Christmas deccies down. About a thousand dead and crispy wasps fell out on me when I opened the hatch, there must have been a nest up there. I got such a fright I nearly wet my pants I think I won't bother with any deccies this year. I hope Wispa is a bit better tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
