@MNerGoneRogue

I'm not popular, needtoknow (too vile a human being), but unfortunately I happen to know most of my tiny circle are on mn, and I don't want them to find me!
We ❤️ you, RogueElfShelf, cute pet or no cute pet. You don't have to make up an imaginary cute pet just to impress us. You're more than enough unmanageable actually just by yourself.

@Honeyroar

Yes it is yes Flea ✅

Well, er well perhaps a second one on the thread catagory? (desperate to think of a catagory I might get!)

Most frequently pissed on baileys???
Honeyroar · 27/01/2021 21:04

@CoffeeBeansGalore I’m a sucker for animals too, as you can probably tell! My Labrador came from a Mumsnet thread a few years back. There was a poor lady locked in her bedroom hiding from her pissed husband with her kids. She had managed to get a place in a refuge but had nowhere safe to leave her pets. So I ended up collecting the dog and a rabbit the next day! They were meant to be fostered, but haven’t gone yet!

Interested in this thread?

What about a category based on the 'themes'?

Eg best theme / most topical theme / most interesting theme / hardest theme ?

Can't quote as it is a quoted post, but screams at needtoknow:
I'M NOT MAKING IT UP. I DO OWN A CUTE PET

Honeyroar · 27/01/2021 21:17

No shiny I haven’t heard from her for two years. She was obviously very secretive about where she was going. And someone else on Mumsnet recognised her and tried to warn her husband. She changed her number and left Mumsnet. It was all very sad. The dog was a nervous wreck at first, I think he’d got in between them and been battered a few times. He used to bark at all men. Nowadays he just barks at the odd one, and they’re always about 5’10 and bald, so I think the husband probably looked like that.

Honey!!!! That's lovely.

I hope you win some small trinket on awards night now.

Perhaps most dastardly pipped????

Yes it seems like an incredibly kind and generous act, yet was it a cynical ploy, undertaken solely to win a 'nicest poster' award in the distant future? Hmmm...

Honeyroar · 27/01/2021 21:31

Goody two shoes!

Yes obviously I took the pets because I predicted I’d need to use them to win something at an awards night three years later. Who wouldn’t..

MNerGoneRogue · 27/01/2021 21:34

Can't quote because it's a quoted post. But, oh, shiny. I wonder which poster it was who first started posting themes???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NeedToKnow101 · 27/01/2021 21:36

Yes! Joint effort... 😘

And of course that makes complete sense .. playing the long game. Joking aside, that was and is a very lovely thing to do Honey ❤️❤️

Fleamaker123 · 27/01/2021 21:36

That was so kind of you to take them in Honeyroar 💕

Maybe a category for who has a pet that looks like a 80's pop star?? Limahl is on the left
