owl Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Welcome home Gooster! Thinking of Toby cat. Feel very low and weepy this morning which isn't like me. Coping ok with all the sadness over the pups, but someone attacked me on the local rescue group FB page last night, threw toys out of pram and left group. I hadn't put my tactless foot in it in my usual style, I had made a post which no one else has a problem with and this lady for some reason thought it was an attack on her, and said even if it wasn't I have no business to write the way I do and should get off my (very bad word) high horse. Others explained and tried to pacify her, but she objects so strongly to my existence that she won't be on any group which has ever had me in it. She has never met me or spoken to me on phone, or even exchanged PMs. Funny thing, people go effing and blinding on FB, but it's me who is accused of being horrible. I don't even have a high horse to be on, the equine lodgers are all no higher than my waist hehe. morning not a happy bunny. the rescue thats just been taken over by people who arnt as nice have said I cant adopt uncle albert stupid reasons, none are logical. im ok to have him all this time as a foster im staying calm ...... Jazz, that's dreadful. Why on earth not? Is it because they think they would lose a foster space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 ive offered to still foster the old and wonky dogs. just ignore them owl. always people like that xxxxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Shame about Uncle Albert Jazz...do they have an alternative home for him? If not, seems rather strange they won't let you keep him! My comp was acting up earlier, but seems to be behaving now thank heaven, we've got enough expense at the moment without it joining the party and giving up.

eve Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Jazz Are they letting him stay with you as a foster for the time being? Thinking all good thoughts for Toby cat. Having mental image of Owl on miniature horse It sounds like that woman has a problem, not you, and at least if she's left the fb group she can't be attacking you. Glad your PC is ok Suzeanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just ignore em Owl, bet she wouldn't be so rude if she spoke to you face to face. A lot of people hide behind their computers and spout all kinds of rubbish Hope you manage to keep Uncle Albert Jazz Am currently uploading Egypt piccies to Photobucket so I can bore show you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 That woman sounds like a nutter Owl. Please don't let her get to you, she's the one with the problem not you. As Gooster says it's easy to hide behind a keyboard. Look at how well regarded you are here Alicia that all sounds very odd. I hope you can carry on fostering but I wouldn't be at all surprised if you decided not too after this. Did they give you a sound reason as to why they don't want to let you adopt uncle Albert?

suzeanna Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Mental picture here of Owl whizzing down the hill astride a mini horse, with roller skates on her feet and Wispa loping alongside! I hope you eventually got some sunshine in Egypt Jayne, it's very disappointing to go somewhere with "guaranteed sun" and get rain, it happened to my daughter a couple of years or so ago when she went to Lanzarote in February and got rained on for a week.

gooster Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 We did get some sunshine, however last year when I went it was clear blue skies all day every day (same time of year), this year it was on and off clouds then sun, then rain, then clouds, then sun, then rain.

Yantan Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've just taken delivery of some bird food which includes a kilo of meal worms. They are HUGE! I have never seen any this big before and to be honest they are creeping me out a bit! I hope the birdies like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Lol, hope the mealworms don't get you Yantan Owl....totally agree with the others... take no notice of the cyber nutter Gooster... i am off to admire your holiday pics in a moment Hope Toby cat will be o.k, my tripawd cat is 15 now and like toby is a rear amputee.... i think if anything happened to his remaining leg i may give wheels a thought as he only really mooches round the house and back garden now Jazz..... how very odd, they are happy to have you as a fosterer but not as an adopter...... selfish as it may sound i think i would be volunteering for another rescue unless they gave a bl**dy good reason Suzeanna, glad your computer is o.k..... mine is bugging the hell out of me at the moment (it isn't even a year old yet) has anyone heard from Houndzrus? haven't seen her in here for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sorry to hear that woman upset you Owl. Take heart from the fact that you are grown up enough to know when you have put your foot in it and so you know it isn't you. Some people behave in very peculiar ways. I hope you haven't left the group though he either needs to leave or grow up (preferably the latter). Jazz- peculiar people strike again. Sorry they won't let you adopt him. Hope he hasn't got another home lined up so e can stay with ou anyway xxx Welcome back Jayne, I appreciate the effort with the sunshine today, but it appears you have brought back a rain cloud or two as well. Any chance of returning them?? I am so tired. I went to the gym last night rather than running in the wind, even though I was stupid tired. In hindsight I should probably have just gone to bed. As it was I skipped dinner. Today I am so tired and need my bed. 4.5 hours left of work. Zzzzzzzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would quite gladly be on the next plane back to Sharm and take the rainclouds away - just about to take the dogs out, whilst it isn't raining here, it is really windy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whizzie Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Be proud of all you achieve Owl, keep the company of people you trust who make you feel good about yourself and don't allow the strange behaviour of an isolated individual knock you off track. What none of us know is what else might be going on to prompt this persons over the top and irrational behaviour - they may be ill, upset about something else & your post has just been their way of venting. Unfair though it is they probably have a lot more problems & a lot less freinds than you do. Welcome back Gooster. Sending best wishes to surviving pups in UK, Sri-Lanka and hoping Toby cat will be okay. Jazz - do you and owl have the same nutty stalker??? More very odd behaviour. The world is a strange place sometimes. On a different note, WagTails House has a brand new rear fence. 5ft 6" sturdy post & rail with wire attached so should keep any visitors dog out of the sheep field but still keep the lovely countryside view of natural ferny bank, attractive tree and rolling hillside behind. I am lucky to have good friends looking after the house who sorted it all out for me with the fencing chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
