Pets Corner

hi @NannyOgg 

Think there already is a thread photos of your pets and another for power hungry pets (no one has a posted tarantula yet (sorry @Bev I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it) but there’s no harm in starting a general one I’d go for it

The more the merrier

Do we get a photo? 

One of my relatives has just welcomed a puppy into their home -irresistible but the kids think it’s a teddy bear (and so do I). I might post a photo if they think it’s ok.

@NannyOgg 

If the present threads don't cover your expectations, by all means start another thread. As for 2 threads being too many? Have you seen the number of smart meter threads. 

Go for it, but I'm afraid I won't be contributing, I gave an inheritant dislike of all pets.

@NannyOgg

I wouldn’t fret if some ignore it, I think it’s a good idea. 

(Disclaimer, I have an inherent dislike of everything apart from biscuits and cake)

ohhh and coffee...to go with them.

Yes @woz,  All.  Sorry all you pet lovers, but they are not for me

Thanks for feedback peeps, will mull it over a little more.

I was going to make a joke about a toilet brush, but that wouldn’t be funny and might be inappropriate.

#slightlycute!

Mulled Wine @woz?

Nanny, you need to start it, then we can watch your gorgeous puppy grow and progress! 🐾💕👏👍

Here's Bluebell, currently laying claim to 'his' computer chair, if it helps tip the balance.

Since the passing of both Gemini and Aristotle, we've considered the possibility of getting.more cats, but Bluebell appears happier in his own.

Ok peeps, I shall start posting but I wanna hear all about everyone else’s pets too.

Ah, @NannyOgg , we're in the same boat! My hubby is allergic too. He doesn't realise how much I'm giving up for him!.

If anything ever happens to us/him (God forbid), I went be straight down the cat shelter,....house full of lovely kitties for me, ha ha 🐈 😻 😺 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐾💕🛌👍

Morning all, hoep you’re all having a good week.

This Cookie monster is an absolute master food thief lol!! We are putting her in the hallway with her food at mealtimes so we can eat in peace but blimey, even trying to have a snack is an absolute excercise in military manoevres and tackle avoidance.

If the kids are having a bit of a treat or snack on the sofa in the living room, I will do some sit and stay training with her while I sit at the armchair, which seems to be working well. Anyone got any other tips or tricks? I know she is still only 5 months old but I’m trying to implement training from as early as possible.

Thanks @Bev , I aim to please

She is quite good to be fair. She sleeps right through at night and doesn’t soil in the house at all. She’s still bitey but to be expected for a teething pup and Labs are quite renowned for it too. I am quite strict with her and put her in the hallway if she gets too over excited.

The main training like sit and stuff fine without distraction but walking and recall I am going to wait until the kids are back in on monday so I can concentrate without constantly having to break up world war apocalypse with the kids.
