edited to add - I worked in (an outsourced) call center for one one of the utilities and got it all - didn't want to talk to somebody with a Dublin accent, woman who wouldn't deal with me because she only wanted to talk to a man, "I'm a doctor and my new baby will die because we've not heating tonight" when there was no available repair slots etc etc etc :rolleyes:
I'd always be nice to call center people but christ vodafone drove me up the wall today, 45+ minutes and countless phonecalls to get past the robots, eventually they must have copped my multiple phonecalls and patched me through to a human. When I explained my simple query my answer was 'haha your answer would be no, but il put you on hold while I ask my colleague to make sure', no joke she actually laughed at me. It took a lot to be pleasant with her but I put it down to a language barrier. I can well imagine the abuse call center staff must have to put up with at times.
:(:( an awful trip to the vets for Bailey's bloods. The vet was called out of the room as we were if sines and didn't come back, next a nurse came in apologising because a dog had been hit by a car. As I was paying I could hear somebody in the other room roaring and crying shouting 'NO NO NO!!' Heartbroken thinking of them
How awful 0 -

I was called into work this morning, I thought I had the day off so was up till 4am watching movies and playing board games with my family. So needless to say when I got home I was very tired and went for a nap. When I woke up from the nap, I was spooning Dude. He crawled over me and into my arms so I could hug him while I slept, and cream crawled into the crooke behind my knees to sleep. I fell asleep cat less and woke up feeling loved 0

5 days of our christmas leave comes out of our annual leave, the rest of the days are public or bank holidays. I'd love to take more time but it'd just leave so little to be spread over the rest of the year.
I finish work on Monday evening, my husband on Tuesday evening (but he's on call for Christmas until he goes back to normal work on 2nd January) and I'm back on Monday, 5th January.
Had the big shop delivered this evening so nearly all set. Turkey and ham being picked up on Tuesday and Christmas cake coming on Wednesday.
We stay put for the whole of Christmas so we can spend as much time as possible with the dogs 0 -

:pac: my friend got this from a client and has it in her porch lol :pac:
Love it!!
My pair got a present of a doggy hamper, with all sorts of goodies, toys, blankets etc in it. It's sitting under the tree and they are MAD to get into it! Coco keeps doing her best to get into the front room and when she gets in she tries to nose past the cellophane. Benson wouldn't dream of doing that, he sits there and looks at it - then at me - then back to the hamper -then maybe a paw - then he stands up and does a little stamping dance! Anything to get it!0 -

Oh, of all the timing! Nyssa was lame this evening, and I found a slash in her paw pad, the big middle one on her off fore. Poor wee pet Keeping it clean, applying castor oil, and she'll be having a sock fixed on with masking tape for her boggy playtime etc.
Should heal up fine, but it's not going to be nice for her, going to my parents for xmas, as they have gravel over most of their back garden :rolleyes: Any better ideas, apart from the socks etc, to make that easier for her, would be welcome.
Or should I call off visiting? Very reluctant to do that, even apart from not being that keen on spending another xmas alone (OH was in his Mum's last year, and I was home with Lola, as she was going through a bad patch, and had only just gone onto the NSAIDs.) Nyssa also needs plenty of exposure to the small kids, for which xmas at my parents' would be perfect. Just don't want to do it if it would be that her having a sore paw would make matters worse.
I think really she will be fine, and it doesn't even seem to be bothering her that much now, but just checking do others think I shouldn't do it?0 -

I love when you see a pup that's the spitting image of what your dog used to be like! Getting one that isn't quite as angular as some choco labs but not rounded is odd, nevermind seeing a pup that's going to be the same! Tonight's going to be the first time I've seen him in over a month. Can't wait!! 0

Paws tend to heal pretty quickly given the chance, she should be on the mend by the big day
You could slip a tube onto her foot so that it extends beyond her foot, and bandage it on. It'll keep her paw off the floor and it lets the air at it. What to use? For indoors a toilet roll/kitchen roll insert might do it (you can cut it longways so it doesn't squeeze her foot too much). For outdoors you may need to find something more rubust, unless you wrap the lot in plastic?0 -

They're lovely tk
We had our traditional Christmas Eve tonight as my mam is working tomorrow, we always go to our cousins house to swap pressies, and this year they got a little stocking for dude! they really love him, he's the only one of my three who isn't terrified of them. He's delighted with his new toys 0 -
We had the dogs out for a run in the big park earlier...Lucy at one stage took off up a hill with a stick...we called her and she came back to us no probs leaving the stick behind...10-15 mins later as we came back around she went running back to get the stick and joined us again.. My friend decided it might't be a stick as it looked kind of weird so we got closer to inspect it - which took a while because she thought we were having a game with her ..it was a mucky green SPINE!!! :eek: >_< 0

Merry Christmas, SM. A pup heard you and insisted on coming downstairs at 5am. Mug that I am, I thought it was an urgent loo situation and brought her down, turned off the alarm and opened the door. She fixed big black eyes on the turkey and danced.
(Of course I gave her some. Sure you'd have to!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
The same person who made a laugh of me on Tuesday for mentioning secret santa was shocked this morning when I said I didn't buy anything for the dogs because they don't need anything... So I'm mad one second and cruel the next! :rolleyes: Also they told me I had too much time on my hands for making the decorations - I was going to make one for their dog so glad I didn't lol!!! :pac"0 -
Merry Christmas Everybody!
Snuggled into bed last night, lovely fresh clean bedclothes, Coco and Benson in for their cuddle and then out to their beds. 7 hours later Benson comes back in for his morning cuddle and gets sick on the clean bedclothes:o
Bit of an odd position for Coco, her head is down beside Bensons bum!

Madness in this house this morning, Charlie ran straight in under the tree and grabbed his presents, how he knows which one to pick is beyond me because he never passes too much heed of other presents, lots of ripping and shaking but he's become an expert at speed unwrapping 0

Flicking through amazon for any good deals and come across this, dog collar bottle opener, could come in handy when the bottle opener is too far to reach just call the dog over :P
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cycle-Dog-Bottle-Recycled-Seatbelt/dp/B00KB2GIKI/ref=sr_1_33?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1419551633&sr=1-33
Stg£23? I'd want the dog to open it herself, pirouette, pour it into a glass and present it on a silver tray with a linen napkin.
Ah, the large is only £8-ish. That's probably because the large dogs drink half the beer before pouring.0 -

Poor Lucy. Like kids, aren't they? Did that mean a vet trip?
Yeah took her over to be safe.Eye drops for a week and back for a checkup on Friday if it looks ok or sooner if it looks like its infected. She ulcerated her other eye in the summer and it got badly infected and she had even had oedema so her eye turned blue and looked like a ghost eye lol 0 -
