Happier~# why not get a stair gate to keep the dog down stairs at night, ask on freecycle or see if neighbours have one you can borrow.

Dogbot normally sleeps upstairs but he was castrated on Monday and vet said to keep him downstairs and as still as possible, while the stitches heal. If he was left on his own this wont happen, as he is stubborn, in the previous house we had a stair gate and he climbed over it. If he tried it this time he may rupture his stitches.

A has also figured out how to get the collar off and also how to lick his bits, where the stitches are, around the edge of the collar, which is why he need supervision at all time to stop this happening.

You can always make up for it next week; DH is only going to have this birthday with a "0" at the end once, so fwiw, I think it should deffo take precedence!;)

Just got the car booked into the garage for a service and her first ever MoT! Saturday 9th April -ten pounds to a dog biscuit Mr LW will want me to go with him (gods alone know why!) so I shall be all behind that weekend.:o

Veggie Shepherd Spy is cooking as I type - dins very shortly:drool: and hopefully I'll feel a bit better once I've had some food.

we had dachie with a low pain threshold, when he had an op we had to sit with him 24/7 and give him painkillers or he either sreamed or took the stitches out, hopefully soon your pooch will at least be over the worst.

DH is fitting a new loft ladder, its only taken 2 days :mad: and he never clears the mess, so he trails plaster dust and everything all over the house, flying is now taken up by tracking his movements with the dyson. Hopefully the last time today.

Blowing a gale here so washing safely tucked on clothes horse

Im just looking at peoples posts and they confuse me! Am i right in thinking there is a basic list of what to do on thursday, and 3 levels then people post their additional bits and pieces that they need to do that week underneath? It all looks a bit confusing to my pregnancy suffering brain!
