    Yes, animals and unintended consequences from human food.

    I was staying with friends the other week and we'd treated ourselves to fish 'n chips. The portions were rather large and the family mutt (wolfhound/lurcher shaggy cross thing) was called in to be the dust bin. He thought all his Christmas' had come at once and devoured whatever came his way. Unfortunately, the next day he was looking very unhappy and lethargic - along with the most silent but deadly smells emanating at regular intervals. Not good!

    Dearest Piq

    Sending you all good wishes for your move day tomorrow.

    I'm sure your 'removal team' will do you proud and i'm hoping that the money and paperwork - after all you've been put through in the past few weeks - just flows into all the correct places, to schedule, on time and intact.

    But I have been meaning to ask - your Guardian Angel.... she knows you and colin are moving in....... does she know about all us lot moving in too?????? :rotfl:

    All vibes being sent for a smooth transition :D

    God luck for the move, hope all goes smoothly and that it keeps fine for you. Fingers crossed that Colin will enjoy being spoilt and not get too stressed. Lots of sardines or whatever his favourite food when he gets to his new home perhaps.
