    Sorry about the poor dog :( but hopefully the meds will help. Sorry also about you getting scratched and kicked at work, that sounds horrendous :eek:.

    Well done on moving the chicken coop. I'm smiling at the idea of confused chickens looking for their house :rotfl:. I don't have a pet any more but I can still enjoy your pet tales :).

    Poor doggy, hope she’s better soon. I hate it when my dog is off colour as like your dog she’s usually really perky.

    Hope the chickens settle in to their new location:)

    I took them up to the house tonight just in case they didn't go up there, there was lots of grumbling going on when I walked off, they don't like change :rotfl:

    Aw bless them. They sound like creatures of habit, which is lovely in so many ways. I am sure they will get used to it eventually. x

    Sorry everyone I've been awol again, my DD1 gave birth to my second grandson on the 10th of July so I've been busy helping her out, everything went really well and she was able to have the natural delivery she wanted after having to have an emergency C section last time, the baby is scrummy and his bother seems to be ok with the new addition
    I've actually managed to spend the day at home today so was able to catch up on some of the jobs that need doing in my house
    So far I've done three loads of washing ,cleaned the kitchen, hoovered and polished downstairs and done the ironing,I'm just having a cup of tea before I go and strip my bed and clean the bathroom

    I have been really tired this week so have been trying to get to sleep early, I was in bed by 9.30 last night and didn't wake up until 9.30 this morning and I was still tired

    In other news I have finally cleared the patio so we can use it now, the weather has been perfect for sitting outside but I just haven't had time,I still need to paint the table and might get that done this week,it's going to rain though so if that happens it won't get done

    The chickens have settled in really well at the top of the garden and I am loving being able to step out onto my patio without treading in chicken poop
