Glad to see you back - I havent posted for ages either - we have been getting on well with the house but cannot find the camera anywhere! Isnt the weather awful - this is the summer that never was - I hardly dare ask how is big stinky boy. My son was unloading a wagon at work today and the guy was really awful to him then he said to him you are the young g** that hit my son at school 7 years ago! and I nver forget anyone. David just removed himself from the situation - I wish I had been there - people wont let things go will they. His son is real drop out and has never worked so I guess that it David's fault as well!!Alchamillamollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530018036194322467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-63894436802382649332008-08-19T18:02:00.000+01:002008-08-19T18:02:00.000+01:00Hi Sairer, I also have something for you ! pop ove...Hi Sairer, I also have something for you ! pop over soon.<BR/>Carol xCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09421248109757501711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-16503461016520345832008-08-19T12:38:00.000+01:002008-08-19T12:38:00.000+01:00I think Jo and the girls are fabulous and i am sur...I think Jo and the girls are fabulous and i am sure a lot of people watching were green with envy as they would secretly love to live in a doris day movie,i know i would.<BR/>Your poor cat,awww i am sending a big hug,you know when my Max lost his eye (i have a post on it if you want to scroll back) it was just short of a thousand pounds to have it removed!! not fixed...i ask you???<BR/>Take care Kristina XxXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-79101281190915888772008-08-19T01:17:00.000+01:002008-08-19T01:17:00.000+01:00What a trooper he is to have made it home!

He fractured his pelvis (and in a freakily similar scenario, managed to flee from the scene and jump over several 6 foot fences to get back home). He was to spend 6 weeks in a cage. Wasn't too bad at first as he was doped up and in pain so slept a lot a didn't want to move but after a few weeks, he couldn't wait to get out, esp to see his furry brother. We gave in after about 5 weeks and let him out into the house for a week, then outside. He's still going strong and manages perfectly (he also lost his tail as a result of the accident). So happy to read Basil has survived and is on the mend.<BR/>Hen xHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785129568184134280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-38724706423607619692008-08-18T22:15:00.000+01:002008-08-18T22:15:00.000+01:00Poor Basil...amd poor you ! my cousin has just pai...Poor Basil...amd poor you ! my cousin has just paid out.....wait for it.................£370 for a grass seed that was stuck deep down between her doggies toes!
