Mrs Dog is getting very tired, I think. I've found a food she absolutely loves, so I think she should have that instead of proper dog food for the time she has left (Dog survived on chicken and rice for three years and died of cancer at 16) so I'm not that concerned about the long term nutritional content of what she eats. I found her this morning with her face practically jammed into her hormonal puffer, which is unlike her - she normally needs to follow me around. I no longer believe in 'benign neglect' as a description of her former life - cruel, cruel neglect is more accurate. She's the sweetest natured little thing who loves company, but she's just tired. Lots of gentle loving will be showered on her.

I could weep to think of what she went through before she came to you, I really could.:(
I'm so glad you've found something she enjoys to feed her - any chance you can wrap her meds in a little of it and get them safely down her neck, away from Devil Cat?;)
Talking of chicken & rice - Penny-Dog had that alternated with fish & rice during her final months.
Sending Mrs Dog a gentle hug, and vibes for restful, pain-free sleep so that she feels better tomorrow.

Woody can smell that I'm eating turkey, it is his favourite, but I like it too!

Going to put DW on and start cooking boys dinner next then get the washing in.

I now 'glue' her meds to slivers of ham with butter and then roll them up before posting them into her mouth, Lamewolf. I was omitting the buttery glue until the latest pill-spitting-in-secret-episode because of the pancreatitis but I just can't risk it any more.


Reading back I realise I forgot to wish Dancemum's DS2 friend-finding vibes earlier. It sounds as though the person least able to cope with being let down is really going through it at the moment. (((Hugs for you both)))


Kitchen sorting out and tidying plus deciding what to feed OH tonight needs to happen next.

Oh Honey.. Poor Mrs Dog.. She sounds such a lovely little thing.. its so awful to think anyone could or would hurt a defenceless animal, or person too I guess..

I hung out laundry.. came in to go to the loo and didn't get there as was grabbed by the milk monster.. so hard to say no to 'boof bleeze'.. she says hankoo when shes done which is very sweet.

Oh.. I found a home for my old wedding dress.. its been sat in a binbag for 20 years ... there is a fb group collecting them to make in gowns for angel babies so it is being bundled off to them.. I was very blessed with all my beastlets so feel it is a good thing to do for someone else in their time of need... so sad to think of so many angels wearing them though Those poor mummies and daddies and families

mrs-moneypenny

that is such a kind thing to do pigpen, ive made the "angel pockets" in the past for the loving hands group. quite a few ladies made them from gifted wedding gowns, i bought some satin to make the ones i did as i couldnt cut into my dress.
i left a bag of prem hats at the hospital this morning, just had a lovely email off them thanking and enclosing a couple of hat patterns and a pattern for triangles for mums to pop in their bras to put their 'scent' on for little ones in the scbu.
like you i feel blessed with mine

I just had some sentimental attachment to my wedding dress and rings until recently.. The dress has been stuffed in a binbag for 20 years.. if it can do some good somewhere they are welcome to it.. KH being a KH has free'd me from that attachment.. the rings are going to be valued and sold asap.. I have been looking at online places but there is a decent jewellers round the corner and I know a guy who worked in the trade for many years..

I need to ring my mother.. !!!!!!... I might scream.

Another busy one. Kids bedrooms are reasonably OK. I need to do a few bits of ironing and make a shopping list for a trip to L:dl tomorrow.

Come on lets all send sleepy vibes to the Pigpen girlies, your mummy needs some rest!

Right then .. shopping list.

Hugs sticks spoons & vibes to all. Nothing has stuck again

I lost Monday to ironing (pile is still not cleared and has since doubled in size again!), lost Tuesday to resting my ankle (suspected sprain thanks to the combination of furniture polish/laminate floor/DD then me in my stocking feet slipping quite spectacularly on it ) so I pottered around on the internet, yesterday I spent the day working and today as well. Only other thing I've managed all week is the laundry which is breeding faster than I can wash it and seeing a few customers.

Tonight I need to have a bath & get scrubbed ready for going to the doctors tomorrow, which means I also need to change my bed. I still need to put my order in for work but leaving it until closer to the cut off time in case anyone gets in touch with a late order.

My October challenge is to finish the livingroom! (Buy fridgefreezer, buy bookcases, buy photoframes, touch up paintwork, deep clean laminate floor, paint frames & mirrors, hang photoframes & mirrors, price up large offcut of carpet as a rug, contact council to collect old fridge & freezer so they can refurbish them etc)

Time for food now DD has finally come out of her book :rotfl: :wave:
