Our creek is bulging but it would take a lot of rain to get up here to the house- my son is busy shovelling his very wealthy neighbour took a dire shortcut with his section development and once again his section is coming down onto my sons lawn and swimming pool area -the council are taking him to court but in the meantime my sons lawn and landscaping is ruined
Yes every cat we have had has ruled the roost - our last dog Ash the staffi cohabited with Bob the Manx - he used to sit on a chair and when Ash walked past whack him claws out on his backside - Ash pretended he hadnÔÇÖt got him - but I had to be so careful when I haws walking with Ash if he saw a cat he went mad
Bob died in Oz so didnÔÇÖt replace him as I knew we were coming back to NZ and I deliberately didnÔÇÖt get another dog in case I had to go in a resthome or something and would hate to rehome an animal
Well intend to have a completely lazy day
Just checked out what this thread is about and I love all the cat/dog stories here. Our guy is a neutered moggy who can be quite aggressive at times. He doesn't like dogs and twice has chased strays away at night. Each time we were woken up by the sound of a dog yelping as it ran past the bedroom window.  First time a couple of years ago. Second time just a few nights ago. The security camera didn't pick up much footage, but enough to see that yes, both times a stray dog came into the back yard, and left at speed with cat close behind.
It looks like it has stopped raining here so I'm off to brave the supermarket this morning. People seem to be keeping their distance better since Omicron so hopefully it will be a safe trip. This afternoon I might get to some sewing. At the beginning of summer I bought a cheap rayon dress which has shrunk a bit at every wash and is now too small. I figure I can chop the excess hem off the back (where it now hangs down more than 10cms longer than the front) and can use that piece to enlarge the side seam at the armholes.
