We have about 20 years to catch up on....and 20 years of rubbish collected :(

 

I'm thinking of ringing a gardener on Monday to straighten out the front.

 

I'm on 7 nights and it's such a loss of time to work on the house.

 

I did borrow a wallpaper steamer today.....may give it a try when I've had another glass of wine.

Careful - too much wine and it may not just be the wallpaper that gets stripped.

we'll there's not much chance of anything other than the wall paper being stripped.......I'm not going to bother anyway!

I thought of stripped dogs

Do you think they would stay round me whilst I'm stripping.....:no:

No, they aren't that daft. Just an applied wet nose now and again.

What breed are your dogs, Pam ?

border collies/sheep dogs

Wow. the amount of exercise they need will keep you fit. Such lovely dogs, so affectionate and bubbling with energy.

We had one when I was a child. I took him walking in the woods one day and got completely lost. We eventually arrived

in civilisation...........I had to ask where I was, then catch two buses back home. It was the first time our dog had been

on a bus, but he was as good as gold.

People get working breeds, don't walk them and wonder why they have a problem. They are lovely dogs.

Unfortunately witnin 1 hour of me leaving for work yesterday....my son was in...they decided it was a good idea to fight!

 

Since looking after my daughters dog ...who we had for about a year-they didn't get on....my 2 have occassionally had fights :(

I hope neither dog was badly hurt. Hope your son was able to cope........my Dad's solution to either a fight or copulation

was to throw a bucket of cold water over them.

Hope the dogs and son are Ok. What a shame they started to fight. Did they make much mess?

Going to see Rhydian tomorrow at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. It was my Christmas from Ron, and at the time May seemed such a long way off, and I was worried it may clash with something Darius might be doing. That was wishful thinking wasn't it! :rolleyes: Sue

What would you have done if it did? Stayed home and not gone to either.

We've tried several methods....water doesn't do a thing and they were inside. They eventually just unclench their teeth from what ever they are hanging on to.

 

Stuart thinks the blood was from Bill losing a tooth and not from any cuts as he couldn't see anything.

 

Bill has so few teeth now yet he's the one constantly growling at Ben.

Enjoy your show, Sue.Clash with D? Maybe this time next year ? If we're lucky..........

 

Pam, it must be a worry to leave the dogs on their own in case one gets badly hurt. But it sounds like they are just

asserting themselves, and know just how far to go. Are they old? Getting tetchy with age ?

 

 

They're great with people though. You get checked a couple of times in the night to make sure you're alright.

What has happened to Baytree ? I thought she had returned from her holiday, but she has gone very quiet.

She'll be back when life lets her.
