I remember when I used to go over to Jilly in Canada - all the dogs were dressed up -- hats and shoes -- the lot! some even matched their owners outfits! Mind you it was well cold over there...

He's still very sore -- they didn't prepare us for this much pain and I'm truly hoping there's nothing wrong - but he's back into the hospital tomorrow - for stents and shit... so he's promised me he'll torment them to make sure he's okay .... it's a bit worrying... but it's good he's going in tomorrow otherwise -- oh I dunno -- there's so many doctors involved in all this I wouldn't know who to turn to.. so yeah - tomorrow is good!

If they have cracked his chest open such a short time ago, I am not surprised he is in a lot of pain! The bruising alone will be horrendous. I think stents go through the groin so much less invasive. I hope they have given him some decent pain killers. If you are worried, call the hospital. There will always be someone to put your mind at ease.

Yes, I would imagine Canada would be a definite for full garb for the dogs. With Fen, he doesnt do cold well at all and will not sleep, if he is cold we all suffer, so jammies it is while its chilly

We had snow today, Jenny just down the road in York (about 80miles) are flooded.

Sadly Tuesday is actually a check on the left eye is hunky -dory so they can continue with the right eye............they could have just asked me.... owner of both eyes....the left ...fabulous........right eye crap. Would have saved the hospital time and postage. But I'm not a doctor.

Just a quickie to wish Joe all the best for tomorrow.

All the best to Joe for the next leg of the journey.

The Cheeto....lol @rustop

It seems we are being frog-marched back to the workplace at the beginning of February for at least 2/3rds of our work time. We will be expected, I assume, to lug a desktop computer and dual monitor in and out of the office for our WFH days. Where we can't physically distance we will be wearing masks all day. There is no thermal control in my building and the next 6-8 weeks are the hottest and most humid of the year - up to 40 degrees C with at least 88% humidity. The rationale is to build team and organisational spirit. I really can't see it myself. It is about control and is very thinly disguised. I don't want to leave my dog, or my house

That doesnt make sense at all Bridge. Why have they picked 2/3rds of your time rather than full time if they are not doing it for social distancing ? And lugging a desktop every day is utter madness! No air con? That surely is against some law! Any chance of finding another job for you?

Morning,
@byebyebridgetjones............ah Bridgeeeeeeeee I've honestly thought for a good half hour but I'll shorten it to 'WTF are they thinking' The only thing I could come up with is..............make life so awkward and hazardous that'll you'll just up and leave meaning they won't have to pay out anything.


I made a little promise to myself the other day that I would stop looking at Dog Rescue places for a few weeks. But just before I went to bed I'd left the laptop on and thought one little peek wouldn't do any harm at our local dog rescue was open.......and would you believe it they have a two-year-old English Bulldog looking to be rehomed. He's gorgeous so Mr JC & I were filling in the initial form online at 1am.
Perfect dog for this house, doesn't mind having walks but prefers lying on the settee, slobbering and eating snacks most of the time. A bulldog was my first dog when I was 5.

@mollyka.....thinking of you and Joe today.

Good morning everyone. Just back from lovely walk and feel the better of it. Agree Bridget, does not make sense. Anything else coming up that you are interested in? Was listening to radio on walk and my God New Zealand put us to shame. 25 deaths and about 2,500 cases of covid since March. We had 2,500 cases yesterday! Unlike them we have had no controls on who is coming or going or haven't had up to Christmas. I arranged zoom call with my crochet group last night, a few of the ladies are feeling very down. I am lucky as I get out of the house to work two days and usually walk in the woods with a friend a few other mornings. Also I am living with people. They are finding this lockdown the hardest and I can see why. Think we are going to do a dress up zoom where we all put make up and nice clothes on. Bit of diversion if nothing else.

Hope the patients continue to improve. Delighted your good eye is so good. Roll on getting the other one done. Off now to paint nesting boxes for himself.
