I feel like I have so much done I may even manage to get out and tidy front and back garden after HHI and HHE. although trying to do HHE with dogbot around doesnt always work as he wants me to be spending my time stroking him.
Life in Termoil- mine dogbot is 20mth old now and is still scared of everything and follows me round constantly"Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k. Jerome0 -
Lit/Happierdays Mine is 8ish and has spent the past 15hrs following me around the house like a spare tail. Makes housework a little challenging. He's not scared so much as needy. He's a rescue so I forgive him. Frequently:)GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500
