Youngest at a birthday party playing in a tent with her friend. I come over and ask what game she is playing and she roars 'ah wolf!!'.

Interesting.

Listening to Billy Joel while doing some cleaning jobs around the house. Now can't stop laughing because listening to Just The Way You Are and it suddenly occurred to me that if that song was written for someone in particular she could get a complex...

"I don't want clever conversation...I want you just the way you are" (thicko)

I may be a tad bored of housework.

He takes as good as he gives:

‘When she sees me she bursts out laughing
You’re a sad sight honey, but you look so cute’

(Different song of course)

I love Billy Joel. Very uncool. But my taste in music is perennially uncool.

Wohoo, pets! The last few pages were just lovely to browse through. My contribution...


Rohan (departed) and Jorah in early 2018...




Jorah...










Rusty...






Missy...




Missy's mother is called Penny. I love her, but she's a complete bitch and there is no such thing as a decent photo of her.

quickbeam

Lovely Stu!

Missy should really be in cat commercials with a pose like that.


I had a dream last night that I started the new job and it was a disaster and I ended up leaving after only a few hours. I was upset at the failure and money worries. But ... as I was walking back to the car I took out my phone and signed up to Batman (no hindrances to playing anymore!!). I’m even sleep-playing Werewolf!!!

Jorah is awesome

Ah the little mud paws

Doggos! I love seeing people's dogs.



I wonder if this will work...

Edit: not really. I'm useless with boards.

Look at those ears! He/she is a beauty

Fixxxer! I had a foster who was the spit of your dog!

I loved him.

She's literally the love of my life. I'm embarrassed by how much I adore her and her big satellite ears.

Also, I've mastered attaching pics. I'm delighted with myself.

Saskia (sass) - she came with it from the rescue and she was so scared when she first arrived that I couldn't bring myself to change anything that she recognised.

She's getting a bit older and slower now (can't make the jump into my parent's jeep, never mind the tractor anymore) but she's still the best girl.

I trained her to fill my washing machine, so she is objectively the best dog in the entire world. I am completely unbiased.

Baggly

I love dogs that do things.

Our previous dog, Misty, used to come wasp hunting around the house with me.

New dogs run away like idiots.

It's the legs that get me. I've had a few sighthound fosters and I love how they lie with their legs stuck out everywhere like they're some massive inconvenience.

I had one who would squash herself into a tiny dog crate and lie with her legs stuck out of the open door.

I am going to do some actual work now and stop trying to turn forum games into animals and pets...

My fella runs like they're an inconvenience sometimes. Down hill chasing a bird he got tangled up in his own feet ;_; Wish I'd got a picture of his embarrassed face.

I've gone mad. I'm posting them everywhere. This is 8 years of frustration at not being able to post images finally being released.

fixXxer

Boards has a FB page??

grapevines are not always accurate!

So, my daughter lives in Australia and she texted me this morning saying “did you hear about X”. Yesterday a woman’s body was found so I said “was that X?” and she said “yeah”.

So I then rang my sister to say X was dead. Told me husband too and his mum. Hubby rings me up earlier asking was I sure cos ones that should know hadn’t heard. I then text my daughter asking how she knew in Australia and she said so and so in London told her. Told my hubby who so and so was and we agreed it was probably accurate enough.

Sister rang me later wondering was I sure the ones she told hadn’t heard. Relayed who the info came from and agreed it could be accurate. Kept an eye on death notices but thought it might be too early and THEN

X is on twitter tweeting about the dead woman!

Well done Ecto

Well done Ecto

I've played a few forum games now so I guess I'm allowed to share some of my pets? (Yay, any excuse!) Here's one of my cats and one of my dogs, who are a tiny bit in love with each other.

quickbeam

Oh, what a pair BB!! They're lovely

Congrats on the results Ecto.

Edit: Oh, and of course BB, we're happy to have you on our off-topic thread!

I did it, I got a photo of Penny! In her defence though, she suffered a trauma 2 years ago. We came home to find her on the doorstep with her face all bloodied and her lower jaw dislocated. Some fúck did something to her and we don't know who/what but she went through an awful time with that and surgeries. She absolutely despises humans but unlike most cats, she unfortunately has good reason to.

She’s beautiful. I love her colouring

Pet names sheep next i presume

We could have the Riona/Fiona confusion with Missy/Misty.

I'm off to Sicily for a wedding on the 12th so the plan is to go to the adoption centre when I get back with the intention of bringing home the new baby/kitteh at the end of July. We've both taken subsequent weeks off work so that we'll have 2 weeks to settle the new cat in and get Pangur used to him/her. We're both really nervous about it. We're hoping Pangur won't be too stressed out.
Catio is hopefully being installed this week or next week so we'll be all set to go. We fully accept that we have now become insano cat parents. :DThe handyman who fitted the catflap looked at me like I was crazy when I told him about the catio.
