Jazz Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 im glad they can have the funeral now xxx ruddy dog! back door is open, so while im in the kitchen, he wees on the sofa, panics, jumps down and carries on weeing on the carpet, spinning as he does it. I have the trail to show me what happened. the crate pad I had on the sofa is sodden and hasn't got a zip so that will have to be thrown. the sofa cover is in the wash. I haven't washed the carpet yet as my body is at its worst in the morning. and ive been invited out for dinner. ooo got everything out to go in the slow cooker. would be a good idea if I put it in it lol I hope your day is better than mine x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm glad the girl's body has made its way back to her family. Suzeanna, good luck for Tuesday. Easy to say, but try not to worry too much Jazz, enjoy the meal out, and I hope the clean up goes well - one of the downsides of having dogs I guess. Snow, I hope you've made it safely to the funeral Jayne, I hope the happy pills work My sister (in Canada) has been having a bit of a mental health crisis (amongst other things) recently, and we've been shocked at how little support there seems to be for depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. It seems to be a general attitude of sort yourself out, or if you're lucky take these pills and stop bothering us. She has finally, after a lot of chasing from my mum, got a bit of help, but it wasn't easy and she came very close to not making it through this time. It seems the situation here is pretty similar - the health service isn't geared up to help with any mental health issues very well. In other news, our house is now on the market. Estate agents seem pretty useless, and there hasn't been much interest, but its a quiet period with schools going back so hopefully it'll pick up soon. exOH has started seeing someone else, which was a bit of a kick in the guts, but not really my business any more I guess. Kia has a poorly foot that I'm still trying to decide whether it needs a vet or not - she seems to have had a massive blister between two of her toes which has burst and she's pulled the skin off. I'm hibiscrubbing it, but not sure if it'll need ABs or not, as being between the toes its quite a dirty damp area which tends to be a good environment for bacteria.

suzeanna Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Rather a sad theme to the posts today, and I'm afraid I'm adding to it. I walked Rosie up past the flat where the lady was found dead about a month ago, and the council were there with a lorry, clearing the flat. All her things were stacked on the lawn, and what finished me was the box of Christmas decorations. She put those away last year with no idea she wouldn't be using them again. Good thing I didn't see anyone on the walk as I cried for half of it. I didn't even know her that well, but I found it so sad that her life ended up like that. Sophie, hope Kia's foot clears up, can you buy a boot for it to protect it from dirt? Sam I'm glad the little girl's body came back. My ex's brother was drowned at Gosport when he was 25, we had to wait nearly two weeks before his body washed up along the coast so the funeral could be held, it was very hard. Hope you got to the funeral ok Snow, and it wasn't too traumatic for all concerned. Jazz, you are a saint! I couldn't cope with a dog which fouled in the house all the time I'm afraid, he would be looking for a home pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks everyone - my brainwave this morning paid dividends I was the first to arrive as there apparently had been an accident on the other route in so everyone else got held up in massive tailbacks, plus my friends all had the same issues with their sat navs and were at one point all being sent in the wrong direction. Very odd. Whereas I sailed through and had a nice drive though admittedly winding single track lanes but very picturesque and no hold ups at all and as the road went directly past the pub where the wake was being held I had the advantage of knowing the route back from the crem to the pub. Anyway the funeral was lovely though very emotional - lots of tears; I was fine until I saw her husband arrive and he got out of the car and gave me a hug at which point I broke down and had a good old cry. Just ordered a Dominos pizza for delivery for our tea not something I do very often as I think they are extortionate even with their "offers" but Viv would have said enjoy it while you can so sod it I will.

owl Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Not a good day for most of us. The tawny owl now at owl hozzy is not doing well. It won't feed itself, has to be fed like a baby owl, and seems as if it can't see although its eyes are clear. It may have something serious. Lovely evening, though. We are off out to enjoy it.

owl Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Nice walk through stubble fields in the last of the light. Owls hooting, bats flitting about, and the huge rose-gold harvest moon rising over all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Owl, I imagine you're checking Wispa for signs of harvest mites, I walked Rosie in stubble fields recently and she hasn't stopped chewing her feet since. I hope the owl improves, but it doesn't sound good if it can't see despite no visible injuries to its eyes. My son in law flies out to Alonissos tomorrow to join my daughter for two weeks, then they come home together. Even with the pleasant temperatures we've been having she's going to find it a shock to the system, during the summer they've had over 40 degrees and even now it's high 20's.

Yantan Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Archie was super excited to see Esther this morning. She's taken him for an hour-and-half walk and same again tomorrow. She said she'd do her best to rid him of some of his energy. Good luck with that! I'm not having Evie tomorrow as I have too much work on. She may come for a visit with mummy sometime over the weekend though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 She's looking lovely griff I hope archie enjoyed his walk. blackmagic, thanks for that link, I will get some in as it looks useful to have. I ended up taking Kia to the vet yesterday, as she was hopping on 3 legs all day which was a detioration over the previous day where she'd been weight baring but limping. Much to her disgust the vet decided it probably would do best with bandaging, so she's now sporting a fetching pink bandage, which clashes just a bit with her ginger fur She was incredibly grumpy about it all last night and wouldn't talk to me at all, but seems to have grudgingly forgiven me today. This was her 'I hate you look' from yesterday: Thankfully we've managed to do away with the cone as she's being a good girl and leaving the bandage alone now.

Yantan Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have ginger fur hair and I wear pink a lot and I think Kia's bandage looks lovely on her. I hope she is soon over it though Lovely photos Sophie Archie had a lovely time thank you. My work has just been collected and the next lot dropped off. It's a lot. A lot a lot. Well that's me working all weekend then. Never mind - I shall think about the £'s I'm making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
