Morning Nechda, morning all

Horrible news about the shooting in the US - just horrible. Thoughts and prayers are with all concerned.

On the home front, Bev I hope this morning's appointments go to plan - Kyiro at the vet and you at the hospital. (((hugs)))

Yet again it was waaay past midnight before I got to bed last night - Pereg got me up around 3am for a p&p so I was able to enthrone myself while she was out, then we both zonked until slightly late for her 7am pill but I managed another short nap before finally getting up.

It is sunny out which means - oh bliss - hot water, although I am still feeling cold even with three layers of clothes on, but at least I do not feel as bad as I did yesterday. Not sure whether I am OK to have a shower or wait until my neighbour is home tomorrow so she can come in while I shower [and rescue me if I get the wobbles]. I do so hate losing independence.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Morning Helena,Morning all

Not up to much today,apart from trying to catch up on the laundry

Off to Tesco in a minute to pick up some veggies and other bits,

Bev hope all goes well for you,

Have a good day all x

Good morning all.

What a terribly sad time for those poor people in the US. Unimaginable isn't it .

Bev, I hope today goes well for you.

The sun is out here so we're off for our usual walk soon. On the way back we will check on Gary to see if he is up to going over to Barnsley tomorrow. If not, I will do the gift run on my own and we'll also go over another time when Gary is well. He will be so disappointed though if he can't go so fingers and everything else crossed.

Rosie is scratching like mad this morning. She was 'flea'd' last week so I doubt it's that. Me thinks a bath may be in order this afternoon - she won't be pleased. I'm assuming that she's reacted to something, but heaven knows what.

Have a good 'un all.

Morning Helena, morning everyone.

My sympathies to those poor families in America too dreadful just dreadful.
Bev I hope it all goes well for you today (((hugs))).
Helena sorry you are finding sleeping difficult at the moment it is hard to get your body clock back to any normality.
To everyone with poorly dogs or who are poorly themselves wishing you all well soon.

Another successful night and morning with Dillon been for our walk and he met an old friend with a neutered male who had a go at him poor Dillon he just looks as if to say you don't like me then continues to prance around even when on a lead and they had a little play in the end.
A springer coming out of his drive had a go at him too I wonder if its because he is maturing.

Had a good chat with the vet yesterday have posted in more detail on a new thread he is convinced it is to do with in season bitches and his hormones but is reluctant to implant at the moment while he is settled unless it all kicks off again then he will to save his stress and mine.
We talked about neutering at 18 months or there abouts and he said he is happy to do it if not being shown or bred from there is no reason why not to if he has reached maturity and is the right height which he should be and is a confident dog. He would meet him and assess him first and then advise whether to do it then or await a bit longer Dillons breeder and I are happy with the outcome of the chat.

We are off to Chelmsford in a bit without the children this week to do some christmas shopping not much to get as everyone wants money.

Have a good day all.

Another one with a snorer.

Big hugs for today madmare - we will all be thinking of you.

I've just had to wrestle my two-year-old away from the computer! Yesterday he managed to turn off the wireless connection and I was going mad trying to find out why I had no internet access. I was even about to go marching across the road to the builders and blame them!

Poor Loki is attacking his feet again and has spent the last two nights in a 'lampshade'.

More Christmas shopping today. It seems never-ending.

Sorry you never got any pasties yesterday they were eaten in a flash!

I have just made these and I will guard them with my life and bring them along to tonights party

Morning all, agree about the horrible news in the US.... my condolences go to all involved.

Not to bad here today, not got a lot on, going to wash bedding and clean up the dinning room me thinks

Madmare, good luck today, H, enjoy the cleaning and Lynn glad Dillons hormone have settled ..

Lucky star, I wonder if "thornit " would help with Loki`s feet, I put it on Millies sometimes when she is biting them

Anyway, have a productive day folks, and stay safe xx

An old remedy is to sew a cotton reel to the back of the pjs as most snore when they sleep on their backs and this prevents that.

I find a good shove works better

Seems to be one feature of ageing. I sleep in patches and erratically and just sit and knit bed and read when I am wide awake at 2 am; gives me the chance also to catch up on the phone with family in different time xones. I have been like this for decades and it is so peaceful at that hour. I think it is the worrying about it that is the real problem

Often I have a "power nap" later

But then I can go to be very early also as I am on my own so no needing to please or fit in with anyone
