We rehomed a lab/rottie cross in November, he's 4 1/2 and his old owners walked him . . . .

But you're right Rising, our last lab wasn't bothered about being left, we could easy leave him all day if necessary. They're like us aren't they, all different.:)

Yup .. they are all different with their own wee quirks:D Congrats on your new boy :T

Then they brought the most scruffy, dirty, bizarre looking dog I have ever seen. He is a bichon cross westie who was 1 HOUR FROM DEATH ROW :eek: Gave him a five minute walk and he was a delight, no pulling and a very gentle nature. Some one has tried to cut his fur and it looks like a two year old has done it :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyways, he gets snipped on thursday and we collect him on Friday :j

Ohhhhh PIC - absolutely delighted for you and all the family :j and esp your new wee man .... poor lad - so glad he's going to be living in your .... errrr ..... madhouse!:D

Day two and a different pound. This pound is a sort of converted horse stable. They rescue dogs from death row. Had a look at a few and for some reason when you tell them you have a bad back they try and get you to have a yorkie :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyways, he gets snipped on thursday and we collect him on Friday :j:j DH didn't want a dog and now he is more exited than me even though it's not the rotty of his dreams. The only problem is he will have to whiff a while as he will be a little to tender to take to the pooch place for a bath n short back and sides........ mostly matted and all needs to come off. Must do some before and after pics..

pooch will cost £100 but that includes getting him snipped, chipping, wormed and flea treatment and injections. I would rather rehome than support puppy farms and this fella is 4-5 yrs old. Can't wait and hope all goes well.

I know another pet is not very MS however it is the money I save from smoking and cancelling the gym which should cover and a reason to go out and about rather than spend any dosh

Other antics in PICs zoo today was we introduced the cats to the chickens and all are ok phewwwwwwwww I don't trust them to be alone though.

That is the line, no more pets

Roll on Friday :j:j

Sounds just like something OH and I would do - we have adopted sooo many animals over the years and each and evryone has been a pleasure to have in our lives. Bless 'em they only want a bit of love and tlc. Prefer em to humans sometimes

Hope everyone is doing okay

I'm beginning to feel stressed about the pressure of the wedding etc., so I may take a step back for the next couple of weeks until things are more sorted, if nobody minds?

I just have so much to do that and I find myself being so grumpy that I'm probably not much good on here anyway! I'll still read, but probably won't post much

Thank you all for the lovely welcome,
Sorry Ive taken a couple of days to post again but injured my back (doing nothing exciting except picking up some washing:rotfl:)and couldn't face sitting with the laptop, however feeling more like my usual self today.
I did manage to plant some pepper seeds at the weekend as am twitching with impatience and can't wait to get the veg on the go, and dreaming of my veg beds:D, I'd never have guessed my forties would be such a whirlwind of excitement:rotfl:.
Hope everyone is well
hugs x

(((hugs))) SF, of course we don't mind ..... easier said than done but try not to get too stressed - it's a day when all your friends and family are with you and your OH to celebrate your new life together - everyone is "on your side" and it should be enjoyed and not worried about.

Wishing you all the best wishes for the day - it will be lovely and you will enjoy it and wonder what all the worry was about!

This made me chuckle .... a colleague *kindly* reminded me that I've less than a month left of being in my 30s this morning:eek:
