The Compers Inn part 36

Fed up of all this rain! It is so cold too.
Got another Waterstones book from their FB page today - The Wolf Princess. Think it is a teens book but will review it and give it to DD.
Sorry won't be able to make your hen night Becks - will be up in the sky then! Will have a toast to you on the plane though.
Hope the weather gets better for your day out Molly - don't think it will here. We have been to Paignton Zoo but a few years ago now.
Know what you mean about "wet and miserable" Wingo, my DH is the same when its to wet to go out.

Hi to all! Hope you are having a good day. Do we have the mega lottery winner on here? Ticket hasnt been claimed :eek:.

Flower pot now off kitten's head - thank the lord!!!! Scar all healed up and looking good. She's been washing her wee body for hours, purring away!! Happy as larry (whoever he is?).

Just doing a random house clean visitors this weekend - no time for comping until maybe later.:D

Love to all. Alf xxx

Allow me

This saying originated with the win of Larry Foley.
He was a prize fighter, the last of the 'straightback fighters.
NSW champion, before prize fighting was legal.
He won the biggest prize of the time 100,000 dollars.
With this money, he set up the first Boxing Academy in Sydney.
Everyone at the time referred to this as 'Happy as Larry'.
His belt can be found in the Sports Center at Homebush in Sydney.
The belt is about a foot wide, covered in medallions.

:T Thank you! Always wondered! Actually kitten could possibly match him! She was a prize fighter this morn when I was trying to get her into the !!!!! cat crate before vet appointment. Claws out and determined that she wasnt going anywhere near the vets!!!! However, I carried on and after a struggle, got her in! Looks like i have been self harming lol - few scratches up the arms.!! Bless her tho, she didnt understand and at the vets, she was the perfect patient!!!! Made me look a right wally!!!:o Anyhow, shes a happy soul now and gave me a cuddle, so guess im forgiven!! All is well. xxx

That's good to hear. One of our past dogs was a bu**er at the vets and unfortunately she had the kind of claws that didn't wear down they just grew very long and had to be clipped. She made a 5 minute job into a 20 minute ordeal and my OH came out with his chest looking like a map of the underground he had so many scratches.

Oh yes! We had the same problem with our doggie now sadly departed. His claws were the same and he squealed and cried and was a right diva!!!! They knew him well god bless him. Thankfully we had a wonderful vet who had known him from a wee pup. However, he was fine but i was totally stressed out!!! Worse than going to the dentist to my mind.!!!! xxx

Tell me about it. Cooper is just the opposite, in spite of having been there for 2 ops now he gets so excited when we go. He loves seeing the nurses, they all make a fuss of him and he thinks the vet is playing with him when he tries to examine him.
