General Chat

at last she has stopped trying to kick the furniture in so ....peace again

But last night a dog not on a lead went for her, and managed to skim her coat , thankfully she is so thick coated.So today we are trying to convince her to come out from her chair !

Well we are still been driven mad but today she has had a swim, roll in the sand and a good shower with a medicated shampoo. Fingers crossed that it stops the itching or she is back to the nice ( !! ) man at the vets tomorrow.

Janey OH said no to the mozzie rigout >>>>>. dunno why !

Uzzi my dog Polly the staff does not like the washing but she likes water in general when we are out she loves the local lakes. Last year our sons dogs came for a hol. His collie swam out miles we couldnt get her back. The older dog ( a german shepherd is getting old so she only swam a little. ). Wish you well Anne in Wales.

Ooow, you mean Raúl! He's fine and furry, you wretch.

It's Pig is wasting ... sniff. I'd have thought Raúl the feral was the carrier of all disease around here, but he's outliving all the domesticated lumps.

Eh? What? Dog's dinner, I have learned, is different from dog's breakfast. I've had to explain dog's breakfast to numerous yanks on other boards.

I think that pic I linked to before, going the whole hog -- that would qualify as the dog's dinner. As would Uzzi's canine in full mosquito net rigging.

But I still don't know what you're talking about ...

BTW Janey,hows the dogs dinner??
I am still waiting to save paying for a tin of dog food.

Magpies steal sparklie things
Thieves of the bird world along with Jackdaws.
They all live outside my backdoor ,except when they go on holliday visiting relatives for a day or two

And anyway, falling off the cow saved me having a brace on my teeth as at the same time as breaking my arm I knocked my teeth back straight.
Not bad for a 8 yr old .

Glenys is going to tell us about her trip to Canada. Come see! If she ever gets here ...

Pets ?oo want them?
Orses.pigs.dogs.cats,cows,donkeys,mules,amsters,rats,gerbils,chinchillas.
Mice are the best,stay in their house ,eat the least and smallest hole to bury them.

Well. So much for pets. ;)

It was a cow called little Jane did fall oRff.
Now I have runny Babbits in me garden.
Mum dug a hollow in my flower bed, I chucked down GALLONS of water to put her off
Dint work,now she got 3 babies, minuite they eat more than my lawn I am calling over my godson with his 12 bore and in the pot they go

errrr not ridiculous at all, tell her next time chose a cow not a bucking bronco tho'


night

Now Janey that really will not do her street cred any good

I'm going to have to go fetch Viv.

A couple of weeks ago she was regaling us with her tale of falling off a cow.

Doesn't that just look ... ridiculous? I fell off a cow.

I asked whether she couldn't at least have been thrown from a cow. Turns out she was.

I had mine from a baby ....so it behaved (sort off lol ). Did use to have attack problems on jewellery and painted toenails ! but other than that he would happily sit on my shoulder even outside when I walked the goat ( I kid you not ) ....We put many a car in the ditch cos I was walking a goat with a magpie on shoulder and a chicken following !

May as well go whole, er, hog.

If that didn't keep mosquitos away, I don't know what would.

Magpie! Eek!

I'm jealous, because we don't have magpies, and they sound quite fascinating. Not that I'd enjoy seeing them murder baby birds.

... That's the cats' job ...

(No, if I have any idea there are nestlings around, which there generally aren't here, I've been known to keep the cats inside for a week. That's fun.)

ahh Janey no I was thinking of an Elvis type collar, both of mine have had the funnel collars it goes 1 step 2step thunk you lift the head off the floor and go 1step 2step thunk !

Luckily all my dogs have stayed 4legged, my magpie did go blind in 1 eye and that was a problem taking him to the vets !

I believe the technical term you are seeking (or so google images just told me when I asked for *cat funnel collar*) is "Elizabethan collar". ;)

I can tell you there is nothing like a cat bumbling around the house in a plastic one of those.

Runs into the doorway it's trying to go through. Backs up. Runs into it again ...


I grew up with an epileptic cocker spaniel, and then a St Bernard. She didn't live long enough for the hip displasia stage -- undiagnosed bone cancer ... ever seen a 3-legged St Bernard? She got along well for some time, but then it metastasized to uterine cancer ... Blasted pets.
