Good morning, Army

Phew! What a nice sleep I had. I was fast asleep by 10.30 last night. In fact, Mrs. T had to wake me when our visitors decided to leave... Only got up after 8 this morning.

We're going to have lunch with friends. They stay on a little farm just outside Stellenbosch (I've posted pics of the place before). Jasmine is going with us, which she should enjoy. Lots and lots of space to run around.

Now to come up with a dessert that will carry their seal of approval - they're on this low GI eating lark... Feck... I would have preferred a summer fruit pavlova with lashings of vanilla-flavoured cream and extra meringue-lets on top. Ah well...

Have a lovely Sunday, whatever you'll be doing.

Morning Tiggeroo!
You are really embracing this dogging lark arent you? Its wonderful to see.
My dogs are my absolute constants in my life, the one thing that never changes. I love them.
I had a late night last night, and slept until about 6, but I am gonna stay in bed for a couple more hours. The dogs have been let out and one is now chewing her nails on the bed with me
Gonna do some housework and study today and generally chill. Mr Starts gets back sometime tomorrow. I must admit, I have had a lovely weekend but I will be glad to see him tomorrow.

Hiya, Starty :l

I know it sounds kinda "aerie faerie", but I really think Jasmine was sent to us. For her to find a loving home with lots of attention and for us to get joy out of her.

And I know everyone says the same thing about THEIR dog, but she really is special.

Housework? Did I hear you just utter the dreaded H word? Oh dear... will you be OK?

Actually, I'm surprised that you can still even spell the H word...

I think I will be Tiggs. If it goes tits up, I will simply lay in a darkened room for an hour...


Nope not aerie faerie at all....I truly believe that life gives us what we need when we need it. My first dog came to us in a very strange way. He had been laying under a lampost for 3 hours. Someone called me cos they were too frightened to approach him. When I got there, he simply got up, and walked over to me. I took him home (I had 10 cats at the time) put him in the shed and called the local dog warden. The dog warden had been looking for this dog for 3 days as there had been reports of him straying. Anyway, to cut a very long story short, he lived with us for about 5 years and taught us sooo much. I believe he was sent to us. His name was Monty and a wonderful dog he was too. He came to us on St Patricks day, March 17th 1989.

Hiya, Zennie

This convo just made me think of our cat Bilal (the crier). The animal shelter phoned us to say that they had an adult cat looking for a home otherwise he was going to be put down. The moment he saw Mrs. T, he came over and rolled onto his back like a dog. Turns out he was already around 12 years old, but had a good home for two years until he passed away from bowel cancer. I still think of him when I water the garden and get to the spot where he's resting.

I wonder what archaeologists will think one day: kitty skeleton found with metal and plastic burial objects - each of the cubs placed a few items that was of significance to them in Bilal's little box...

I need to get to tthe shops to buy stuff for the week and for our dessert today. I've decided on fresh fruit kebabs - watermelon, melon, mango, litchi, maybe some late strawberries.

Good morning Mr Tips, Starty and (goodnite Zenny) all this pet talk has got me teary eyed, my Elle was thrown out a car beside some bins which was witnessed by my friend who rescued her. Although i saved her 8 years ago she has saved my life repeatedly and at my lowest times whan i was alone and drinking she was my only reason for carrying on... I swear she was sent to me and i call her 'my angel' every day.
