Best laugh in an age Henpecked! Ever thought of sketch writing? But if you can provide photos of a floodlit pond accompanied by a mini-JCB, some fish fillets, a dead Dane and an hysterical [late] dog owner you'll be made for life...

Quick update (I am afraid I am in the dog house)

I didnt tell my OH fully about what is going on tonight. She has just come home and for the first time in her life wanted a bath there and then. Took one look at the Koi in the bath (one has died) and went mental. She says that I am a F*****G idiot for agreeing to this shenanigans. Then as women do, they uncover the next issue which was the garden is semi flooded as I have almost drained the pond out.

She is now not talking to me and has told me she is going out tonight and by the time she gets home she wants everything back as it was. She said she was not going to sit there tonight eating tea with strangers walking though the living room carrying a (in her words) "a poorly packed supermarket dog".

In my haste to assist i completely forgot this dog is supposed to be dragged through my sitting room tonight.

I am getting emotional now. Yes there is a funny side, but she isnt talking to me, I am gettign the blame for "bending over backwards", the garden looks horrendous and is sogging wet and the fish arent coping in the bath. Why doesnt our nearest and dearest realise I am not doing this for me, but just helping.

Sniff.

Thanks for making me laugh so much

Aw ......... poor you. You need to understand that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Or in your case, knee deep mud and a bathful of dead fish.

oh gawd , how can you put things back to normal if you are digging up the pond to put in a dog .. women ask some of the most difficult things .

i do feel for her though

I'd stop laughing and start planning the funeral service if I were you. You'll be needing a dogcollar. They'll hardly just chuck it in the ground. They'll be prayers and a reading, probably. Maybe 'Amazing Grace'.
