So poor I can't even pay attention

I've just had a disagreement with the man pet and sent him home. For varying reasons we haven't managed to get together this week so we were looking forward to a bottle of wine, pizza and a film this evening.

During the evening his dd texted and called seven times for nothing in particular. She is staying over night at his house as she was going out with some friends and was supposed to be out for the evening. Not that it matters about her being on her own for a few hours she is 33! She knew he was coming round to my house, so felt it necessary to keep asking where the bread was, did he have any chips in the freezer and so on.

I could feel myself getting crosser by each text or call. In the end I told him to go home and find out what the matter was, why couldn't she leave us alone for a few hours? I guess he feels caught between a rock and a hard place, but for goodness sake, he's entitled to a life of his own without having spot checks on what time he's coming home :mad:

I get to finish off the wine though:D

I would have lost it completely:eek: I cant bare it when adult children revert to awkward/petulant adolescents. I have seen it happen with friends of mine and indeed my own sister:mad: You are so right he is entitled to and ADULT life of his own. 33? !!!!!!.....not capable yet of looking in the freezer/cupboard. Hope you make up soon

Captain: naughty boy! We use to have 3 cats who use to do nightly raids on fridge. Every morning we would come down to kitchen floor strewn with empty packages from sausages,nibble cheese, beautifully sculpted by cats tongues butter and their triumph would be a whole chicken - raw. We spent weeks blaming each other for not shutting the fridge then decided the door was faulty so bought a new one - no difference. Not even with a chair in front:eek: Set up a camera one night to actually see what happened - incredibly they worked as a team and even invited the neighbours cat in for a share of the spoils:rotfl: We had a child lock on the fridge years before we had children:cool::rotfl:

We've already made up, he's texted sorry and says he's told her he will be ignoring her texts and only to call if it's a true emergency. We shall see. I don't stay cross for long, I'm a short lived firework!

Love the cats, how clever and naughty! They must have wondered what happened when the lock went on the fridge :rotfl:The Bear hasn't worked the fridge out, thank goodness. He is currently sitting under my laptop while I'm talking to you as he likes the warmth....If I move the laptop his paw slams down across the keys to make me put it back :rotfl:

They spent days trying to work it out and almost achieved it I might add. The down side to all that was regular mangled bits of rodent to clear up in the morning - which is why we had the cats anyway:D By the time our children came along the cats where all in their dotage and a little arthritic so once the child lock gave up we never replaced it. Cats we have now are not fridge raiders but more the where-is-the-oddest-place-we-can-sleep types:) but also prolific murderers of rodents too;)

The Bear is a serial killer too. I've had to decommission the catflap as he was bringing too many bodies in. The bodies are always whole, but he hides them and only the smell gives them away :eek: Cue a lot of crawling around on the floor sniffing under tables and chairs.... Now he has to wait in the lobby until I have checked that he is alone. Does the disposing of the bodies make us accomplices to murder?

We just deal in body parts - rarely whole ones unless its a shrew - give off some nasty odour therefore taste when they are attacked. In fact shrews are the few 'live' creatures we get - and boy do they bite when picked up - ungrateful creatures! We had a regular visitor of a 3 legged shrew - kept getting caught and brought in for playtime. Eventually I took it 3 fields away as I was beginning to fear it thought it was part of the family:rotfl: We didnt see it again:)

Piquant_2

I didn't know that shrews gave off a nasty odour/taste. Quite obviously the Bear has no sense of taste and should stop demanding [STRIKE]decent[/STRIKE] expensive cat food under the pretense that he can't eat cheap stuff!

Three cheers for the brave three legged shrew who has lived to hop through another day!

Hope the Captain shared his spoils with the other neddies. You can imagine him popping along with a carrot and lobbing it over the stables doors.

Hello Piq, I have just found your blog . Very nicely written and I have subscribed - you have seven followers already!

Sorry that man pet and the Captain have been a bit naughty recently. Hope you don't get a carrot-related bill .

Moles taste nasty too. We get lots of dead moles delivered, always perfectly intact. They look like they've passed away through old age, but I suspect not or they wouldn't be on my doorstep! You'd think they'd be really hard to catch, what with living underground, but apparently not!

Love the article, did you find it when training your own pets?

No, it hasn't worked on him. He still has a muzzle and training lead . Still, makes every little breakthrough (dishwasher emptied on Friday ) all the more rewarding .

Just seen THIS on Facebook and thought of you lot
