November's Normal Niggles

It's ok Yantan, I don't think anyone is bugging me over my over my unusual lifestyle choice, and can see that people are just interested. I am always open to suggestions, there may have been something I missed. Paving slabs arrived today, to go under the supports which hold the thing off the ground.

I am very happy, a black lab we were looking for near Carsington Water back in September has been returned to owner. We don't know the full story yet, owner was overwhelmed and we might have more sense from him tomorrow.

 

I am excited over the pod as well. :)

Fab news about the lab Owl and good to hear all your bits are turning up ready for your Pods installation

Gooster, that is terrible how you have been treated, i hope you can screw her back by charging the locum rates

Merledogs, you made a little mistake, you collected your dogs and apologised.... if only we got the same treatment down here i would be so pleased.

can anyone recommend a cheap tablet that you can download programs from bbc iplayer itv player etc onto, my dad was working with a lad who had a ipad on contract and had a great time but knowing that my dad can't operate technology very well and would probably lose said item i wanted to get him something i could download programs to for him to watch without the need for wifi and wouldn't cost the earth so if he breaks it/loses it i won't be bothered

Hello, sneaks back in after far too long. Have had a crap year - my Dexter went to the bridge 12 April and it still hurts like yesterday and then lost my very best human friend to cancer............just waiting for the third thing. After realising that Fleur was totally miserable being an only dog and I missed a dobie presence in the house but really couldn't face a proper dobe I went for the ridiculous option and rehomed a passed from pillar to post young pup. About 6 months later have the joyous young brat that is Ralph, a doberman poodle cross, about 9 months old and just fabulous.

 

hello :) sorry to hear you have had such a rubbish time but lordy Ralph is fantastic

 

I haven't been in recently (doubt anyone noticed) as I'm in rather a black hole at the moment. Please take hugs, congratulations or sympathy, whichever is suitable.

 

how are you today Suzeanna ?

 

 

The lovely Loobie has been staying with Mark and I over the last few days and we had a adventure to the ancient capital of Sri Lanka this weekend which was rather exciting.

this might be suitable and its under 40 quid

Ralph is rather fab. I can't believe that he's been with me for over 6 months and has grown from the sweet ickle puppy into the taller than Fleur loon with 70's style pantaloons for legs. He is just lush and makes my heart sing. Fleur adores him

So behind.......Owl are you planning to live in a posh shed :cap:

Merlie one, dogs is dogs so don't feel guilty for not having eyes in the back of your head. My two were having a run yesterday and had been totally concentrating on chasing the ball until a jogger with a husky came into their eyeline and they bundled over to say hello. He was fine about it except his dog wanted to stay and play and he wanted to carry on running.

Sam..........I keep looking at the cycle challenge..........I'm too old, too unfit and cripes knows how I'll raise the sponsor money but I'm so tempted. It's a bucket list kind of thing (or could be the bucketing of me :mad1: ).

BYB moan now, I was asked if I could take on a 5 month old dobie/collie. The breeder hadn't been able to sell all the pups and wanted rid as she was pregnant. Said I might be able to foster with a view to finding him a rescue space but refused to pay. Anyway the stupid bint sold him last week and apparently lied about him saying he was fully housetrained, socialised etc. New owner is trying but struggling. The new owner is in a rented house and her landlord agreed to her having another housetrained dog, she's got two very small children and, shock horror, he wees and poos, he chews,is bored out of his tiny mind so tries to wrestle with the kids. Turns out that the bat brained breeder did no training and didn't bother to get him his jabs and never took him out,

Had a call today from the new owner who is at her wits end, she really is pissed off at being lied to but wants to do her best by the pup. She's going to try for another week and if it's still not working I'll pick him up Friday evening or she will let me know if she really can't cope and I'll collect him earlier but she promised me he won't go anywhere else.

Oh and my words of the day are mucus and phlegm.
