Yes please - a very big one - biggest you can find - hooman wont let me have sticks. Can you add a ball?? Hooman taken all the balls
WattyDogMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!5 -
Actually I did spend most of the weekend binge watching Netflix from my bed. I'm not sure that really counts though as I felt ill.PennysIntoPounds said:Happy birthday WattyDog!
Wot @KajiKita said. Ulcers/coldsores/anything mouth related = vitamin C need and sleep need!
Not nagging (much) but since you were last nagged, have you allocated a couple of days of bed reading and doing nothing pressing, or have you been constantly being (wonderfully) productive?Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Please schedule in some regularish lengthyish downtime for only nice chill things when you're up and at em again.

Will send emergency sticks. There is one bigger than me which you can have - it doesn't fit in the crate but you have to go sideways through gates. I have lots of balls because Molly-next-door's hoomans aren't good at throwing so I find them in the flowerbeds. The cats want to play with them but they can't pick them up. I can send you some.

WattyDog has amused himself placing an empty kong on the cleaner's hoover. The cleaner throws the kong. WattyDog retrieves it and puts it back on the hoover. This has been going on for some time. Little hoovering actually done, but, I am just delighted he is happy.
Rode Most Handsome as a neighbour was having her posh dressage lesson and I said I'd have one too. We are not posh dressage divas but a video was taken in the lesson and I am not entirely sure that little superstar going around is Most Handsome. His old saddle must have hurt as with this new one he is fair whizzing around. The only problem was I could barely breathe and ended the lesson early as I was wheezing.
It was fun though. I need more fun in my life I think.
And to close the month I have appointed a planning consultant to fill in the forms for the barn. The next steps are (a) wait for the letter from the council following pre app (b) check prices of consultant and if agreeable (c) put in application. This was one of my extraordinary goals for the year. Baby steps forward and all that.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
