Hello lovely mumsnet hive.
so…. I thought we could have a thread of things that made you happy recently. I feel there is so much negative poop out there that maybe this thread will make someone smile or help their day get a little brighter.
My happy thing is my dog. He is a Caucasian Sheppard whom we rescued in September. Now, as a breed they are like no other dogs, unless they are a guardian breed and when we rescued him, he was underweight and came from a bad situation.
he didn’t know what a bone was.
he wanted to eat chips and kebab ( we got a takeaway and he was crazy about getting some)
he didn’t know what toys were. We have tried to get him some but he has no interest.
about 4 days ago I got him a ball that makes a noise from Aldi. £4.99. HE LOVES IT. He is playing like a puppy. He takes it to bed. And honestly, seeing him so happy has made me ridiculously happy!!
I’ll attach pictures of the short monster. ❤️

Reducing my workload and hours from September!
Absolutely can't wait!

The strangest thing that made me happy was looking at my newly painted radiator (years ago), I had painted it a lovely pale Wedgewood blue colour and I couldn't get over how pretty it looked!!!

Harvest time: only about 7 green beans and 2 tomatoes today but it still makes me ridiculously happy.

We grow tomatoes, spring onions and carrots. They taste so much better than bought ones despite my carrots often looking like little aliens!

Thank you. He works hard at it. 🤣🤣

What is on his head? Is he tuning into something?😍
