Such nice weather here the last few days it's been great cos i haven't been working until the evenings! Dog's are having great time and are currently panned out snoring/sun bathing! My niece is also my god child and I had her with me yesterday in the woods with Bruce and Nala. She is only 4 but has more cop on than most adults when it comes to dogs. Nala was swinng in the river and Bruce was on the bank with us, two girls ran over and started hugging him. My niece starts telling them that they shouldn't touch another dog without asking the owner! later on when i put Nala on the lead when I saw woman coming that I know doesn't like Nala my niece asked me why i told her the lady was scared of Nala because she was a big dog. Just as the lady was passing my niece starts saying to me that big dog's doesn't mean bold dog's and that the lady was silly cos Nala wouldn't hurt a fly!!

I'm very proud of my creamy this evening, he's normally very very antisocial when it comes to meeting new people. Everytime there is someone new in the house I do bring him out to meet them, just to try socialise him and let him see that no one is going to hurt him. When I bring him out I always hold onto him and just let people rub him when he's in my arms, but this evening we had relatives over from England and I brought him in and she took him out of my arms. I cringed thinking that he would freak and end up scratching her badly but he just sat there quite happily in her arms being rubbed! I was shocked and absolutely delighted that he's finally accepting people

Booked in for my next tattoo in the morning, it's not my first but i always get nervous butterflies! It's a 3 hour piece on the bone so I don't think It'll be butterflies I'll be feeling during or after it!
Good luck I got my first one in sept 12 on the back of my shoulder, took less than half an hour. I never understood how they could be addictive til I got my first, I'd have gotten my second there and then if I could :P still haven't gone for my second, so indecisive on what I want and where I want it. 0 -

I wish I could be indecisive, I was so careful about choosing my first one but now they all seem to be impulses, but they mean something at the same time! I've my next one planned.. actually my next 3 planned but I don't know when or where I will get them 0 -

Mine is a portrait of my cat Johnny (he was born on my 14th birthday and I had a massive johnny depp crush ha!) who passed away a few years ago, I've wanted it for a while but couldn't find the funds or a suitable artist. It's his face with a top hat and Victorian dress to match his personality I have at least 5 others planned but they'll have to wait

We got shouted at today by a runner - apparently Lucy was blocking their path and they couldn't run around us/slow down even though they were a good 5 meters away from us when they started shouting... "THE DOG WATCH THE DOG WATCH THE DOG FOR GODS SAKE" ... :rolleyes: In funnier news Lucy found a turnip on the beach this morning and thought it was the most wonderful ball she ever had! 0

We were on the beach last night and there was a bootcamp session starting just as we arrived, we didn't see where they went but previously most bootcamp sessions have been kept close enough to the car park end. However we walked about 3/4s way down the beach and turned to go up, our usual route is down the beach - up the dunes, so we went into the dunes and ended up right in the middle of a bootcamp "run" :mad::mad:. I had 3 greyhounds with me and they were pressed into my legs with fright at about 2 dozen men running towards them, so we had to retreat back and try and walk over the tops of the dune grass:mad:. No word of apology, nothing, they acted like I was the inconvenience.
I know the beach is a public amenity, but these guys had a big section marked off with poles and "motivators" - ie trainers shouting encouragement along the path through the dunes. It just so happened that the dogs I had with me were of a nervous disposition that don't react well to people shouting, and groups of people running towards them. I was well pissed off with it.0 -

Iv found a way of keeping both man and feline happy, cans of guinness Pour said man a pint of guinness out of a can, rinse out can, cut it open and wash little plastic ball (called a widget apparently!) and give it to said cat
Man may require multiple repeats of step 1 to keep happy, cat is generally satisfied first time round 0 -

So I'm not the only crazy person I'm getting it finished tomorrow afternoon, another hour and a half on my elbow
In other news I'm just back from the mini marathon, I raised over €200 for my local SPCA so I am well proud of myself even though I had hoped to raise more I have a heart condition so I could only walk/half jog but nothing hurts yet so that's a good sign I was surprised at how many dogs took pArt, they were so cute in their little charity T-shirts! I'll have to get Alli and Moone involved next year 0 -

I went to the big park this morning with the plan of keeping the dogs dry and clean because Lucy has a sore on her neck and I didn't want it getting mucky.. Well Lucy got brave - jumped down into the stream where they wouldn't usually go near and got herself stuck! The was a fallen tree and we were trying to get her to go under it so she could come out but she wouldn't move. I only had a harness on her because of the sore and no way of pulling her out. Eventually I sent Bailey down on the right side - he just stood waiting until she crossed under the tree to his side then they both jumped out! Covered in mud so had to hose them when I came back lol! Then this evening we had a nice walk on the south wall for a change - Bailey swam and got a stick out of the sea to an audience of on-lookers who thought he was amazing
Think I might end up in the vets tomorrow with Lucy - I thought it was a hot spot but no sure now. She has two small 'spots' that are a oozing a bit. I've been bathing it and spraying with disinfectant - looks fine and dry bit then a few hours later more puss... It's in the folds of skin at the front of her neck so not the easiest to keep dry. Luckily her baby socks have put her of scratching lol!! 0 -
