New guy????????

QueenCT · 03/07/2020 22:02

Yes Grin known him a while, didn't ever see him as anything other than a friend. Then we kissed. And well...

Papergirl1968 · 03/07/2020 23:04

😻

nettie434 · 03/07/2020 23:18

Ooh, exciting QueenCT. Cake plus Dreamies is a good sign!

TheSparklyPussycat · 03/07/2020 23:21

Ollie, Queen and New Guy sitting in a tree...

YesItsMeIDontCare · 04/07/2020 00:58

That's how I got together with DH.

Just sayin'.

(It's got black cats on it 😁.)

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/07/2020 06:55

Me too. I’ve put on half a stone so I won’t dig out my frock. It would only depress me 😃

Supersimkin2 · 04/07/2020 07:38

Who is this gentlemanly beacon of gallantry?!? Cake and Dreamies? RESULT.

New Guy gets my vote.

Supersimkin2 · 04/07/2020 07:39

@Papergirl1968 how is darling Matt this am? Forgot to ask yesterday as Capn did a shit on the floor.

QueenCT · 04/07/2020 08:12

It's all downhill today. Ollie has thrown up. On the office chair Blush

Papergirl1968 · 04/07/2020 11:06

Matt seems ok, thanks, Lana.
There’s a bit more blood around the wound but I think that’s because he has been scratching it. But he’s eating well. I’ll probably let him out today because he’s fed up with being shut in.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 04/07/2020 11:58

No cone of shame then?"

Darling Matt :)
Naughty Ollie!

YesItsMeIDontCare · 04/07/2020 12:37

I have a parking bay opposite my house.

A young couple are parked in there eating a takeaway. With the windows open.

Guess who just went and sat politely by their car door for a piece of chicken... 🤦🏼‍♀️

QueenCT · 04/07/2020 12:39

Grin that's hilarious. Was any chicken offered?

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/07/2020 12:42

ive seen next doors tortie sat next to a couple who used to go to the pub every night outside on the kerb where they’d paused because they were too drunk to make it home when they had a takeaway with them.

She was being adorable but I don’t think they were paying out.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 04/07/2020 12:45

Chicken and compliments on how beautiful he is.

If I'd realised there was someone sitting in the car I wouldn't have let him go over there... but I didn't... 🤦🏼‍♀️

I didn't get any chicken 😠

TheSparklyPussycat · 04/07/2020 13:17

But did you sit politely by their car door?

YesItsMeIDontCare · 04/07/2020 14:36

Tbf... no. I didn't. Which was clearly a mistake. I'll know for next time.

I think being relatively small, cute, incredibly fluffy and unusual works to Leroy's advantage. I am none of those things, sadly. Might be worth a try though 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Papergirl1968 · 04/07/2020 15:43

They could have given you some chicken too, Yes, seeing as you were presumably on the other end of the lead! 😂

Supersimkin2 · 04/07/2020 18:04

@YesItsMeIDontCare My nephew used to do it. Families having picnics, people in the window of McDonalds, anyone foolish enough to open crisps on the bus...he vanished & then up popped Big Eyes and Wobbly Lip aged 4. Parents were mortified.

I note DS' behaviour is exquisite. To be fair DN has grown out of it now he is 18.

Papergirl1968 · 05/07/2020 12:15

Need some advice about Socks, guys.
She’d only just started to go out when I had to take in dd and her dog a couple of months ago. She was very nervous and had only been staying out for a couple of minutes.
Now though she’s out all day every day. Last night was the worst. I was up till 3am trying to get her in and again from 4.30am till 5am. She miaowed in the garden or the neighbours garden and once or twice came to the back door, but ran away again. None of the food I offered tempted her.
I went back to bed leaving the back door open and some milk and a treat stick in the kitchen for her but they hadn’t been touched.
I can hear her miaowing in the garden again when I call her so she’s there somewhere.
I just feel so awful that she's been driven out of her home by the dog, assuming that’s what it is. Unless she’s just discovered a taste for freedom.
We’re keeping the dog in a separate room to the cats but they clearly know she’s there.
When I do get Socks in she’s grounded for a few days. I want her to realise that home is a safe place and the dog can’t hurt her.
Any other suggestions? She’s worrying me to death.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 05/07/2020 12:17

How long is the dog staying for?

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/07/2020 12:20

The dog needs to go.

I imagine you’ll get subjected to pressure to keep the dog though.

Papergirl1968 · 05/07/2020 12:40

I don’t know how long the dog is staying for. Dd needs to get herself sorted with some accommodation but probably won’t be able to take the dog, at least not initially, while she’s temporarily housed until she gets her own place.
She talked about selling the dog the other day but she has epilepsy so I can’t imagine there will be many takers. Besides which, she has a lovely nature and is good as gold so it doesn’t seem fair.
Actually though the dog is having a big impact on me - not only costing me a considerable amount in terms of vets, prescriptions and food when I’m broke, but I’m looking for a job and even part time is going to be difficult if it’s two days of seven or eight hours instead of four days of four hours or whatever.
Dd bought her off some travellers who had said they were going to shoot her, although whether they would have I don’t know as they message dd to ask how she is.
I just wish she would think before she rushes into these things!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 05/07/2020 13:40

I'm probably speaking out of turn, but the dog may be lovely, but she is not sustainable for you.

I'm really out of turn here, but I do think you need to stop enabling DD, especially where this is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Flowers Sorry.
