Your Mae is soooooooo cute, Red. She sure is tiny.

Could you do what we did and ask to speak to a Dr over the phone Ollie? Would they push your appt forwards or did we just get lucky?

We were going to travel to a pet shop about 30 miles away yesterday, but when we phoned up the only dwarf hamster they had was a Winter White, and I\'ve been after a Roborovski for ages. Every time we\'ve been to that pet shop they\'ve had Robos in, so I was gutted! We tried a different pet shop about 20 miles away that has never had dwarves in before, and they had two Robos left! When we got there one had been bought, so there was just one! Talk

Aw thanks CC She\'s spent the last 3 hours on \'her\' camping chair! I didn\'t expect her to use it, but she loves it - only just fits though! Also the other day we bought dog bubbles (peach flavoured, although didn\'t taste ANYTHING like peach to me!!). Kasper wasn\'t really that fussed about them, but Zoey went craaazy...I think we\'ve found a new way to tire her out when it\'s raining outside

I\'ve been sleeping so much ever since, got 12 hours last night and just woke up from a nap! *yawn* When we spoke to our worker about it a few months ago she said they could give me sleeping pills for when my mood was up, but they never have. The med I\'m on now usually knocks me out a good 12+ hours a night, but it did nothing when I was high. I should probably bother my GP about it next time

The really good pet shop we went to yesterday takes in animals to rehome whenever they can (each time we\'ve been there have been animals they\'ve rescued, and the place is only tiny). Yesterday there were three rats in a Jenny Rat cage, one huuuge male and two smaller ones. They were old and ill, one poor boy was very scrawny, shuffly and semi-bald. Vet had him on anti-biotics and anti-inflammotaries. Pet shop owner said she will keep them until t

Have you got to wait for someone specific to do the injection Ollie? I know that our GPs don\'t all do joint injections (making an assumption there) so it can take a while unfortunately. Now that you know your GP will do a telephone appointment you need to use that again Red. If you speak to the doctor they will force book the appointment in if they think it\'s necessary. Some receptionists do seem to think they are in control (and the doct

Went to a food festival today...which was quite funny, as there weren\'t many food stalls and some of the food was very mediocre! We got a garlic & cheese flatbread that was really disgusting, although the giant cookie stand was *awesome*! They were very soft and cakey; expensive at £1 each though! Lyle and our friend got these fruit / chocolate animals. They were really cute looking, even if the thought of fruit and chocolate does make me feel

You should tune the piano accordingly and if they complain tell them it\'ll be perfect as long as the choir is trained in Tae Kwan Do and they are accompanied a regular siren. Must\'ve been very frustrating - how about ear plugs next time! I have nowhere to put a rat cage, and it breaks my heart when they\'re sick and they die so young. I\'ll just have to get my \'fix\' from others pets!

Lord, are you in a lot of pain, Ollie? That\'s dreadful to make you wait so long for analgesia. I hope you\'re feeling better.


Posted by chief chicken in A big welcome to a little pup! on 2015-05-30 18:22:54
And she looks so relaxed and happy; you\'ve done wonders with her, Red!


Posted by chief chicken in The best thing that has happened to you today. on 2015-05-30 18:21:09
Wonderful - I hope you\'re feeling rested. Can they not give you some sleeping pills for those times, or do they clash with the other bits you\'re on?


Posted by chief chicken in What ya been up to? on 2015-05-29 18:31:17
Gets better: turned up to tune at a school again today only to be confronted with a junior Tae Kwan Do club. \'But we won\'t disturb you, \' he said as the brats were \'HAAAA\'ing and grunting away...

Things haven\'t changed. More than 20 years since I retired from NHS. The receptionists even then were in control of my patient\'s appointments. I would request my ladies came again in a couple of weeks but if "their" list was full they would be given one for the following week. Now that just will not do in midwifery. I would rant and rave at them but all I got back was "Well that\'s how many we can get on the computer" I could not persuade th

Oh, and just for comparison...on the left, taken two days ago. On the right, January 2013 :) How did she wind up so beautiful??

I\'ve been working with Zoey for a month or so on her staying on the couch whilst I train Kasper on the floor. Zoey has really poor impulse control, so we had to start out very easy and reward her every few seconds...she\'s getting really good though Here she is on the couch whilst I work with Kasper, waving his left paw "Can you do it again?" Zoey looking *very* serious as Lyle gives her some love! Lyle\'s grandparents b

Hahaha, yes, they\'re definitely vegans...apart from their chicken / lamb kibble, sliced ham, chicken feet and numerous meaty treats They do eat a lot of fruit and vegetables though...well Kasper does, Zoey will stretch to eating carrots but that\'s about it rant: Lyle needed a GP appt, so phoned up about a week ago to book one. The closest he could get was two weeks away, and the receptionist constantly got very uppity that he should go to

best: I slept!!!! Three days no sleep then I got 6 hours kip last night... :)


Posted by Red in What ya been up to? on 2015-05-29 05:12:35
I really want rats again, but we don\'t have a suitable cage...and let\'s face it, we have enough large pets. Or pets full stop I had a dream the other night that we had a rat that gave birth to Himalayan babies...oshhgk *drool* Are your ears ringing now CC?!


Posted by Red in Post Yer Pics! on 2015-05-29 05:10:26
Thanks Lynn! I love taking beach photos when it\'s sunny


Posted by chief chicken in What ya been up to? on 2015-05-28 17:10:20
I think you should give in to your urges and get a rat...the cats would think you\'d bought them a telly! Glad you had a lovely time. Conversely...I had to WORK and while I was tuning in the school, the secretary came in and said the man had come to test the fire alarms but she was sure it wouldn\'t disturb me. No, the fire alarm ringing 26 times for a minute at a time is just PERFECT for tuning a piano. So what I\'ve been up to is successfully

We were going to play crazy golf but Caitlyn didn\'t want to, so we went to Umberslade Farm. It was really nice - just the right size and number of animals, pigs, calves, sheep, goats - the usual. There was also a small animal barn and the kids (and me!) could hold rabbits, chicks, guinea pigs and rats!! It was so lovely to be able to snuggle a rat again - didn\'t want to give her back. I did wonder about how the animals felt about being passed

Great pictures as usual, Red. I like the one of your Dad looking out to sea.

Had a fun day today, my parents came just after dinner and we went to the zoo. My nana was with them which was an *awesome* surprise! They were impressed with the zoo too. Afterwards we popped into the farm village, had a mooch around the shop and tried to play crazy golf (but it shut in 15 mins so no time - booo!) Then we went out for an delicious meal and had a wander down the prom and beaches - perfect day
