collies r best Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Was outside putting guinea pigs to bed in the shed, much later than usual. I could hear faint miaows so called my neighbour and said one of her cats must be in her shed. She said hers were fine and shed door had been closed for over a week but she would check to give me peace of mind.A poor cat bolted out he/she just ran so hope its ok and gets home. Poor bugger must be so skinny and dehydrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Does anyone cook Yorkshire puddings? I made them a few weeks ago for first time and while we enjoyed them, we thought they were a bit bland. Are they supposed to taste a bit bland or is there a way of flavouring them up a bit with herbs maybe? They are a bit bland I suppose. Usually people serve them with gravy, white sauce with onion, or if eaten as a dessert, jam sauce, raspberry vinegar or golden syrup. Herbs might be a nice new slant on the traditional YP but I don't think it will catch on in Yorkshire. Poor cat in shed, hope it gets home OK. Its people must have been very worried.

We had them with roast beef and gravy few weeks ago. I was too busy playing on the Wii with Andy while hubby was making dinner today, so yorkshire puds were forgotten about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 OH took dogs out late this morning and saw an old dog walking buddy alone, he lost his oldie retreiver 2 months ago. Poor guy said he came out because he felt so alone, he asked my OH if I would help him find a new doggie companion for him. He doesn't want a young dog,so I'm now scouring rescues for oldie retrievers/labs for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Morning Max wanted out at 5am, so I let all the dogs out then went back to bed alone and had a lie in, hence why I'm late this morning. Lizzie : poor man, but hopefully he will be able to give a good home to an oldie soon. Obvious one I know, but have you tried the Oldie Club website? Poor kitty in shed, hopefully it is home and it's owner is very relieved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collies r best Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Lizzie, thats so sad but lovely that he wants another dog I'm just hoping the cat is fine today, i've been so worried about it. If i hadnt been late putting pigs to bed noone would have known it was there. I should imagine another few days and it would have been too late Only good thing is we've had so much rain it'll find plenty to drink now its out but hoping its home now.

Abby Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Stormy weather on Thursday knocked out our internet until yesterday My scan went fine and there's only one little critter in there, thank gawd!

merledogs Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Glad your scan went well Abby I've done my requisite 6 hours studying for today Have had a bath and am going to relax for the rest of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I put garlic and sage in my mix. Might try that. Thanks Glad scan went well Abby. I remember looking forward to first scan and hoping there was only one as hubby's father is a twin. I understand your relief I am awaiting an appointment for an endoscopy and a colonoscopy . While I am not looking forward to it, I wish they would hurry up so I could get it over with and start curing my ailments. Hope poorly people are starting to feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Irish Retriever Rescue - they don't have any oldies on their website at the moment , but they do keep a list of potential owners and contact them when a suitable dog becomes available, so the dogs don't always reach the website. http://www.irishretrieverrescue.com/contactus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 or if eaten as a dessert, jam sauce, raspberry vinegar or golden syrup. Is that common or is it just some bizarre Owlish delicacy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trallwm farm Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Is that common or is it just some bizarre Owlish delicacy ? I was wondering that. Vinegar of any type is my idea of hell. I used to make Yorkshire pudding with watercress in it. I had a supply in Hampshire in the good old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
