COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Isn't that where the vampires and werewolves live?

No.
But Yeti.

And Cybermen

And giant rats.

Lightning strikes effecting the point controls?

Yup - that's been the latest

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

If we get many more roommates in the CDR, we might think about bunk beds.
Good morning, all!

No.
Double decker armadillos.

He was a beautiful 1 year old dog called Simba - looked like a fox and very friendly and made himself at home straight away.
He seemed quite calm and has basic training.
Lola was in bed so didn't disturb him to do the tort test - at a distance of course.
My sisters dog who stays with me occasionally ignores Lola and will walk away if Lola goes toward the gate separating them.
I don't know how another dog would react though.
Simba is a smallish pedigree but being given free to a good home and they will have him neutered.
I am going to have him on Thursday to see how we get on but most importantly how he would be seeing Lola.
Lots to think about!

You’re lucky you get to “test” him out.
Did you get a picture? I bet he’s so cute!!

Hi, Bee!
I was busy with work much of the day. Then at 3:00 I had to drive Jacques to her check up appointment with the vet in New Orleans, which is a 45 minute drive. Their office was SUPER BUSY: ahead of me in the waiting room were an African Grey parrot, 3 ferrets, a bearded dragon and others. I waited from 4:00 to 5:30 before they even put us in a room. But I could hear how busy they were. Jacques got a clean bill of health!!!!!! He feels she is fully recovered from her pneumonia!!!!!! YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
Unfortunately she has developed a white patch on her front leg, which he says is very odd and he wants us to keep an eye on it.
I just got home about 15 min ago and am exhausted.
May go to bed early.
But I"m so glad to get the OFFICIAL word that Jacques is recovered!!! Now I can start using "tough love" to get her to eat other things besides salmon!!!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have a pic of him, but he's similar to this one in colour.

I guess the other problem is whether he is happy to be alone all day while you are at work.

Son started work today. He was reunited with Leia, a chocolate labrador belonging to his boss, who was a puppy when Son did his placement year in the same office and had her basket next to Son's desk. Leia was apparently overjoyed to see Son this morning and wouldn't leave him alone

Hi Bee
Sorry I got myself a new toy and was playing with it.[emoji1] [emoji1] lets see if you guys can figure out what the toy is?View attachment 233675

Hungry Hippos?

 

[Lyn W]

But with no generally agreed recipe: mixed dried fruit or raisins? Cinnamon or none? Extra sugar sprinked with sugar or not.

Mum's recipe has mixed dried fruit (sultanas, raisins, currants and peel), no spice and no sugar sprinkled on top. There is sugar in the welsh cake, but not on top... That would make it too sweet for accompanying cheese

I like them all!!!
(I thought I'd already posted that but can't find it)

Yes - that's another thing - I need to speak to my nephew .
He loves dogs so I think he'd be happy to help.
But Lola is my priority and it all rests on how Simba reacts.

Do your jellyfish function well? Mine are getting dimmer. Hope @Tidgy’s Dad will stop by sometime to replace the batteries.

Beat them with sticks.
Never fails.

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good night Lena. I am also going to bed.

Btw here is another clue to my new toyView attachment 233752

Buzz Lightyear?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I think we have to do this ( replacing batteries ) for a long time..... Sniff ....
Adam said he won`t be back until September !

I lied.

 

[Maro2Bear]

They are practically a staple in Wales
Were you visiting a slate mine in Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales?

Wow... i tried to recall via google search.....but darn it, yes! I’m sure thats the one! I recall the Ffestiniog bits...

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Why only September? Is he that cross? Or off on some fossil adventure?

Sort of both.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh. That is such sad news. Our Dark Lord does not like us anymore. Boohooo [emoji24] boohoo [emoji24]

Oh, yes he does!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I know he likes us and he will miss us too. Maybe he shows up earlier with a little bit luck. When he miss us so much like we miss him.
