owl Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Griff , Yantan, Eve and others are reading even when they don't feel like writing, and I don't doubt they will be back. The rain is holding off this morning so I will get Wispa out somewhere even if she will only walk for a short time in the stiff breeze. She needs a pedicure but will have to wait until the floods around Newark have receded as our friend who clips her nails has a salon there. She hates having them done and has to be muzzled, but trusts Charlotte who understands her very well and arranges an appointment when there will be no other dogs around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 merlin and mouse are terrible having their nails clipped by me, and they are black, so I take a little bit off when I can. the garden is fully paved but that doesn't get them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Our first dog together, a dobe bitch, was lovely in every way until it came to getting her nails done. It took three of us to hold her while we clipped them, never touched the quick I might add. When we took her to the vet and mentioned it, the little horror obligingly lifted her paws and sat there good as gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Charlotte has been out tracking with us in the past so really understands Wispa and knows she is super intelligent, highly strung and can be hard as nails, but with a soft mushy centre (shh) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) We found Wispa very sociable when we met her Owl...or was she having a mushy day and two strangers didn't bother her? We are venturing out to a pub in Higham for a meal tonight, first time in two weeks and counting that Philip isn't coughing so much that everyone in the place will take cover! Be a nice change not to have to cook. Edited February 21, 2020 by suzeanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Suzeanna, Wispa is very sociable with anyone who has been welcomed into our home by me. She is friendly to most women but distrustful of men until she knows them. It's mainly dogs we have a problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 We went to Worksop and Wispa had a change of scene and a 5 minute walk. The wind nearly blew me over, so she said enough and I agreed. Did some errands and dropped in for coffee with mum of an Aussie cattle dog who was reunited after having legged it during storm Dennis.

Jazz Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Just had a call. they need to get funding to do my shoulder op. why? anyway, shes just filling the forms in. my levels had better have halved then, so they don't have an excuse to say no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Have a lovely meal Suzeanna, it's nice not to have to cook every now and again. We haven't been out for ages. Did try on Monday lunchtime but I didn't fancy a thing on the menu so we went without lol. Never had to clip a dogs claws which is probably lucky for any dog I've ever had. Not even brilliant at doing my own nails lol. Sorry if I haven't been posting as much as I usually do. I love this forum and would be devastated if it died a death. You lot have got me through such a lot and I care about you all. I'm not always good at contributing but I promise I'll not be so introspective and join in more. My waffly bollox for today is that it has rained all day here, dogs wouldn't go for walks, just a mad dash into the garden for toilet breaks. Oh, and I got my hair cut. There, that's got you all riveted 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Well, that's exciting Eve, did you learn any interesting gossip in the hairdresser?? Did you get anything new done? I have just ordered a big barrell curling tong as I don't do anything with my hair lol bought one today and used it but it's not what I want and burnt my neck on both sides lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Nope, just the same short and easy to manage style I usually have Griff. One day I'll think of something different lol. Learned that one girl's boyfriend bought a Jack Russell puppy and pics of it showed that it's definitely a crossbreed and more daxi than anything else We were trying to work out what designer name the muppets would come up with trying to justify paying £800 quid for a mongrel 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
