COLD DARK ROOM

[johnandjade]

Chester was also unplanned.
I've always hated Chihuahuas. Noisy and small. Not for big guys.
One day a woman came into the small motorcycle repair shop that I worked at part time with two flea covered and trembling babies. One of them seemed to really like me and i really liked him. So I took him. Free.
We went to the vet the next day and got him all fixed up.
We were together every day after that. He used to sleep inside my shirt while I watched T.V. etc. (He was always cold.)
He never seemed like a pet. He was a family member.

i've had 3 dogs and can't agree more, they truly are mans best friend

Maybe we could use a jelly fish instead - we'd know who caught it by the scream after they'd been stung.

such a funny mental picture lol. mornin lyn, hope all is well

Don't get two. You'll end up with 60 of them.
One is a nice pet. My step daughter had them.
keep in mind that they only live about three years. Buy a young one.

I used to have hamsters
Once I was told that 2 dwarf hamsters could live together by a petshop worker... 1 year later they nearly killed each other and I had to quickly separate them.

Definitely going to get a syrian hamster if I get one.
Much easier to handle

Don't remind me! We go back the Tues after bank holiday - a bit later than Scotland I think so 2.5 weeks yet.
Why are you expecting a row?

Yet another example of pet shops not knowing what they are talking about!
Good job you spotted the problem before what could have been a very distressing incident.

I just found out an elderly relative has left me 120 grandfather clocks in his will!

It will take me ages to wind up the estate!

Yes, I was very lucky that I happened to be up late that night. I heard squeaking and saw them fighting. It was really hard to break them up.
I immediately ran and woke my mum up. They were in a tight ball fighting, to break them up we had to dangle tissue over them and distract them while we pulled them apart.

Aero was bleeding from scratches down his neck and a deep cut next to his mouth. Nibbles didn't have any injuries that we could see. We luckily had some plastic boxes that we put aero in for the next couple of days while he healed on newspaper. Then we bought him a new cage where he lived for another year and a half before he passed.

If I had left them, no doubt Aero would have died and nibbles would have been hurt.

Don't listen to petshops guys!

Good afternoon. Making good excuses-the battery died...hmmmm. I am going to listen to our 'big boss' Adam. If he says: 'Beat X' I will go ahead, otherwise I won't. So we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Gillian M]

Glad to hear that. But will that mood go on if I get instructed to...beat you?

Good morning Gillian - Adam hasn't surfaced yet - he may be sulking because we left without saying goodnight. Hope your day is going well so far.

Apologies Adam it was so quiet here last night I fell asleep and woke up on my sofa in the early hours of the morning.
My laptop had also gone to sleep so I crawled up to bed.
There, there I will say 2 goodnights tonight.[/QUOT
Good afternoon Lyn. So you're another one who's making excuses for not having said 'good night.' 'I fell asleep, my laptop fell asleep, the battery died....' and the rest.

Hi. I bet you he is. Poor Adam. He must have felt lonely.
