sanrossscot Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Have fun at Crufts Sam. I went yesterday with a bus of our agility club members. We were supporting one of our Junior members who qualified for the final in the arena and came third. Well done to Millie and Dexter!!! Today I will mostly be watching the live streaming....

Sophie Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Today I will mostly be watching the live streaming.... Me too (thankfully I have a desk hidden away in the corner of the office and noone can see my screen). Glad to hear owls mum and auntie are doing better. Had hospital consultation about my wisdom teeth today - they won't take them out Apparently they'll only do it if they're decayed, infected or swollen, and mine are none of those. The fact I get weeks of headaches because of them is irrelevant. So its back to the GP I go to see if there is anything else we can try. Apart from being fed up with wisdom teeth, I am :pinkie: because my big sister has booked flights to come over from Canada for 2 weeks at Easter She was meant to come at Christmas, but she was seriously ill and in hospital all of December and most of January. She's been waiting for the ok from her doctors to fly, and they've given it. So she'll be here for 2 weeks, then starting back at work when she goes home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Our DW was at Crufts yesterday. She'd never been before so didn't know what to expect. She rang me to say she was enjoying the shopping We are back to grey wet weather after a little run of sunny, dry days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddyboy Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 well that is my good deed for the day!! Had a beach walk with a friend and our dogs, then as the cafe there was closed we went to St Dogmaels for a coffee on the way home. As we pulled up there were a couple of ladies looking at the mill stream where there are ducks and chickens and saying "oh good you have wellies on" because a chicken was on a mudflat in the middle of it. The water level was a lot lower than normal so we went in to order our coffees then when we came out to drink them on the terrace I walked back over and saw the water level was rising. Sooooo - off down the cobbled bank to the stream, naturally managed to slide over and land on my arm and bum, waded out and found she was in a part with deep mud so had to navigate round it. Ended up throwing sticks and stones behind her to try to drive her away from the deeper water (and mud) until I was able to get through the mud enough without sinking to grab her. She was NOT impressed and was flapping around all over the place and I could not use both hands to hold her as I was sinking in the mud and had to use my other arm for balance. Managed to throw her up onto the bank where some of the other chickens were, went and had my drink. When we came out we looked and the water is almost back to normal depth so the mudflat she was on was well underwater, so I am glad I went to get her as pretty sure chickens cannot swim (and she would have ended up being washed downstream into the sea!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooster Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well done Buddyboy Was naughty and had a chippy for lunch. It was not nice at all, and to make matters worse, it has given me a poorly tummy and I feel rotten so I can't even go to the gym and work off the calories Will stick to my usual salad box for lunch I think in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done! I bet chicken's can't swim either and they'd get water logged pretty quickly. oh well done Buddyboy!!! lucky chicken. RMQ does anyone know how big a 16 week staffy would be (is it jack russell sized?) No idea, but intriguing question! love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And to you - any progress with your MP? I keep hearing that there aren't enough 1 bedroom homes for people to downsize to, so something has to give somewhere in this odd new scheme.
