Posted on 05/12/2018 08:42 by milliehullWhat a lovely thing to do moulesy. Do you take Lady with you as well or is it strictly one to one with the cocker spaniel? (Our son and DIL's cocker is quite a strong willed young lady as well
)

At the moment I'm walking her separately until she gets used to me. There's no hard and fast rule, though, so sooner or later I'll take the two together. So possibly a few pounds shed by me before you-know-what comes around, but definitely a few pounds for the dog (she'said called Judy) to shed!

Posted on 04/12/2018 20:51 by nelliethehookerNot a good day today. Woke up to a cold morning but sunshine so OH decided to do some washing. By the time the machine was on down came the freezing mist, which lasted most of the morning. Then the washing machine gave up the ghost part way through the spin cycle, although fortunately we were able to open it. So off to town to get a new washer, as we've no time to hang about because we head off for our Christmas trip early next week. Delivery on Saturday so all should we be well for when we return.

Posted on 04/12/2018 21:04 by moulesyThankfully a bright sunny, but very cold day down here. I've just taken on new dog walking duties for the Cinnamon Trust - it's a brilliant charity which matches up volunteers with old and disabled folk who otherwise wouldn't be able to keep their beloved companions. This is a lovely 9 year old cocker spaniel girl. The lady's husband sadly died recently and the dog was very much "his" dog. She's surprisingly strong willed so I'm having to lay down the law pretty quickly. It's a very rewarding use of an hour each day, though.

Well done M.
When I was around 30 I became friendly with a pensioner of around 75 who turned out to be a distant relation of my wife. She was taken into hospital and thought that to be the end. Her dog was taken in by a neighbour and when I found out the next day I collected the short haired roly poly terrier. Grossly overweight. The lady was in hospital for 8 weeks and made a full recovery.
I visited a couple of times a week and when she was feeling better during the last few weeks in hospital took her outside in a wheelchair to see her beloved dog.
When she finally got home the dog was slim and she kept it that way with regular strolls and Less Food and Treats.

Husky great news re the stair lift.
Moulesy what a lovely thing to do, the charity sounds great. OH has been walking neighbours little dog this week, as she has Shingles now.

DIL rang this afternoon to ask us to have 2 grandsons for a sleepover on Friday night. Just one slight snag. One of the bedrooms they sleep in was full of Chistmas presents, christmas decorations, and christmas paper. I have just spent a couple of hours moving everything to somewhere it cant be seen. We have also wrapped up their presents so no peeking!!
We have to wait in tomorrow for a man or woman to come and look at our non working dishwasher. We have also priced up a new one in JL so we have some idea whether a repair is financially viable. We have been keeping old fashioned crafts alive by washing up by hand this week 😣
