  • You think cats following you to the loo is bad, my dogs follow me and only me to the loo and sit one each side of me as if protecting me. If i don't let them in then its a hoo har, skye will headbutt the door trying to open it and the other will whine non stop.

    Our Pixie Bob wees in the bath right over the plughole and also in the basin in the downstairs cloak.....usually when one of us is having a wee at the same time! The wegies are always running around with stuff in their mouths - lego, pan scourers, sticks & leaves from outside....they're a nightmare!

    I love my pooch and his little quirks, but my puddy tat was more fun.

    On cold nights, she used to get under the duvet and force me to lie with my legs bent. She'd curl up under my legs and purr until I fell to sleep. As soon as she felt my legs relaxing she'd get out of bed gently and curl up on the pillow next to me. RIP Princess :-(

    The dog likes to lick my face after splashing it with water when I'm in the bath. Slightly annoying, but he seems to love it. Daft dog.

    There are 5 Llasa Apso dogs on my street and he adores each and every one of them. They're all really fussy and he'll stand very still while they all play around him. It's very cute to watch.

    He looks after me. There's a noisy dog over the road and if he barks at me, my little doggy will go over and shout at him. Quite fun to watch as my doggy is only small and the dog over the road is an 8 stone alsatian.

    Whenever I go to the shop, you can guarantee when I get back out he's made a new friend. Young or old, he doesn't care. I feel really proud when people tell me how adorable he is, and how gorgeous his coat is. He's black, very soft, and very very shiny. I love my doggy and try not to go anywhere without him!!
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)

    Maggie cat will follow me to the bath and sits on the edge waiting for me to get out
    Sometimes when she can't find me, she'll miaow distressed until I shout out and she can then trace me
    She is forever finding new "beds" for herself - latest one being IN a paper Primark bag full of stuff (pics at home)
    She takes huffs a lot when I tell her off for begging when people are eating, and will keep moving away. She looks at me with one eye round the sofa and i say "i can still see you " and she runs
    Sometimes she sleeps at the front door and "shouts" at me when I come home
    If I lay my outfit out on the bed If Im going out - 9/10 I find her lying on it - like she's saying " No, you're not going out"
    She sleeps on my pillow curled round my head some nights
    She will only drink from a pint glass (and can drink more than half a pint by sticking her whole face in it?!)

    Adore her.:o
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    My hamster will only answer to the rustling of her chocolate drop bag, no other bag will do and it's the only way we can get her when she escapes! :rotfl: She's a chocoholic, maybe it's because she's called Wispa? :confused: :rotfl:

    When she had her other cage she used to kick all the sawdust into the tubes, I have no idea why because she couldn't get up to the other levels! She now just puts most of it inside her little igloo house. :confused:

    She's such a funny little hamster, my family and friends think i'm mad because I am always going on about :rotfl:
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    Either that or she thinks it would look much prettier covered in cat hairs :D

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Stella eats foam bath _pale_ and can hear food wrappers opening in the kitchen when she's upstairs!!!!

    She also knows when the postman is here before she can see him, and recognises the ice cream van chimes and cries like a baby if she doesn't get one. Even the ice cream man has it ready for her when he sees her coming. :rotfl:
    That's my mutt in the picture above.

    Our cockatiel Ollie likes to snuggle up on the computer mouse and go to sleep. This mouse is then his, and no one else is allowed to go near it. If you even try to go near it then you lose your fingers, lol.

    He also clucks at men (not sure on this one??) and is in love with my boyfriend feet (he does the mating dance and everything, lol).
