But I type fast one-handed and it's better than watching Jezza;)
Well, you're obviously hugely appreciated on here. Your thanks count is nearly ten times your post count, so there are lots of people who clearly want you to keep posting. :Tgratefulforhelp wrote: »Just tried to take a picture of her in a hard hat, but she was determined the hard hat would be in her:rotfl:
:rotfl:
Is the hard hat still in one piece? Or has she worried it out of shape? I remember once throwing a frisbee for our dog instead of a ball to see if he would like it. He happily ran after it, but then he felt it ought to be killed before he brought it back to me. It never had quite the same aerodynamic properties after that.Starting again 13/4/19Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99Total owed: £28,801.49

I love watching them trash frisbees:rotfl:
I took the hat off her 'cos for all I know the roofer needs it and they prob cost a few quid. We also tried to take a pic of her in a santa hat for Christmas cards (Using free Tesco prints) but she fell in love with the furry bit...think I will have to tranq her to get a pic:D
