1:36 am
Lizlin
Aw! Sorry!
1:37 am
grannyrose
what about tomorrow night?
1:37 am
Lizlin
Should be OK
1:37 am
Lizlin
Think it's our only quiet day this week.
1:38 am
grannyrose
any particular time?
1:38 am
Lizlin
Brain not functioning - name a time!
1:38 am
grannyrose
hmmm, we are in the same time zone now arn't we?
1:39 am
grannyrose
okay. say about 7:30?
1:39 am
Lizlin
Huh! Just seen I should be in the PB for my greeting
1:39 am
Lizlin
8.00 would be better - probably eating at 7.30
1:40 am
Lizlin
Or before 7.00
1:40 am
grannyrose
okay. 8pm it is. xoxox
1:40 am
Lizlin
OK - looking forward to it.
1:40 am
grannyrose
sorry everyone. i didn't mean to hog chat.
1:41 am
VolleymomDee
no problem; brb getting some water
1:43 am
grannyrose
lolol. don home from shopping. and it took him a while to find out which way to turn the key to unlock our new front door.
1:44 am
Lizlin
Does the new door look good?
1:45 am
grannyrose
it looks wonderful, unstained, unpainted. the leadlight is gorgeous.
1:45 am
Lizlin
That's brilliant. Are you leaving it unstained?
1:45 am
grannyrose
we are taking progressive pics. tomorrow don is going to stain it.
1:46 am
Lizlin
And there's my answer. I'd love to see the pics.
1:46 am
grannyrose
we are staining it merbau/jarrah
1:46 am
Lizlin
That's a warmish reddish colour isn't it?
1:46 am
Lizlin
reddish brown that is
1:47 am
grannyrose
and the architrave will be the same grey as the window frames, down-pipes and roof
1:47 am
Lizlin
Sounds very smart.
1:47 am
grannyrose
yes, it looks stunning up against the cream weatherboards.
1:47 am
Lizlin
That sounds a lovely combination
1:48 am
grannyrose
don has started replacing the barge boards around the bottom of the house.
1:48 am
Lizlin
I'm not finding this grid easy :(
1:48 am
grannyrose
with merbau, and spark-proof mesh behind them.
1:48 am
Lizlin
He must be feeling better if he's up to all this work. That's good.
1:49 am
Lizlin
Spark proof mesh???
1:49 am
grannyrose
he is better. i have been rubbing in voltarin gel x3/day
1:49 am
Lizlin
Bet he enjoys that!!!!!!!
1:49 am
grannyrose
yes, to stop hot cinders from a bush-fire getting underneath the house
1:50 am
Lizlin
Oh right. Bush fires - hadn't thought about that. Are you in a particularly prone area?
1:51 am
grannyrose
yes. there are enough lunatics around here who think it's great fun to start a fire in summer.
1:51 am
grannyrose
we have lots of natural forest around us.
1:51 am
Lizlin
Lunatics indeed.
1:52 am
Lizlin
Beautiful! We've also got forest around here but i think that the fire ri4 is much lower here - not to say that we never get fires.
1:53 am
grannyrose
ikr... but i think it is generally the blue mountains which cop it the most.
1:53 am
Lizlin
That's Sydney isn't it?
1:54 am
grannyrose
yup. but they are a part of the great dividing range which winds it's way just about all the way up north.
1:55 am
Lizlin
OK - didn't know that. I guess my Aussie geography isn't that good yet.
1:57 am
Lizlin
Not half way yet - but my time is up for now. Hugs (yeah! I know - PB) to you and Sprite (and Dee if you're there).

2:34 am
medusa
good thanks. Puppies are getting big now. They are on solids too the last 3 days.
2:35 am
grannyrose
wonderful news, honey. how many do you have? i have been a bit (?????) remiss over lately.
2:36 am
medusa
I know that feeling! She had 7 and they are 4 weeks old tomorrow.
2:36 am
medusa
I have decided to keep 1 too. lol
2:36 am
grannyrose
oh wow!! is she a good mum?
2:37 am
grannyrose
oh, yes. i do remember now... you have a soft spot for one of them. boy or girl?
2:37 am
medusa
Been great. Done everything she should. She is now starting to tell them off when they go to her to feed most of the time. She has certain times now when she will feed them.
2:38 am
grannyrose
i didn't know that doggie mums do that. how interesting.
2:38 am
grannyrose
what have you decided to call him?
2:39 am
medusa
After so long they do stop them feeding from them. I been reading up. This is the first litter I have had. Had lots of kittens but not puppies.
2:39 am
medusa
Am calling him Buster
2:39 am
grannyrose
so a new learning curve, medusa
2:39 am
grannyrose
love it!!
2:40 am
medusa
It has been and I have loved every minute. They have got to a point now where they wiggle their little bums and give kisses when I pick them up. :)
2:41 am
grannyrose
i remember my third dog was a foundling at 4 weeks old, in a gutter beside the road.
2:41 am
grannyrose
awww too cute
2:41 am
medusa
Poor thing. Thank God for people like you. xx
2:42 am
grannyrose
i was up every 2-3 hours 24/7 for quite some weeks.
2:42 am
medusa
They are so adorable. Gonna be hard to let them go but can't afford to keep them all.
2:42 am
grannyrose
she was so clever. she left me with my mouth op4 so many times.
2:43 am
grannyrose
ow medusa, they cut the umbilical at birth... let go
2:43 am
medusa
did not have that one. ;)
2:43 am
grannyrose
*now* lolll
2:44 am
medusa
It is just proof that monsters are real. :(
2:47 am
grannyrose
sort of more no responsibility of owner. he allowed his bitch, in heat, to raom the streets. when she whelped he ke4 forgetting to feed her. she roamed the streets looking for food, litter of pups trailing behind her.
2:48 am
medusa
OMG! Poor thing. Some people should not have pets. Makes me so angry. I have gone without food for my babies!
2:49 am
grannyrose
i haven't never had to go as far as that, medusa. but i was very incensed by his attitude. if i had reported him, the poor bitch would have been put down.
2:50 am
medusa
That is so sad. How come?
2:50 am
grannyrose
that was a mixture of ... have never...and haven 't ever...
2:51 am
grannyrose
medusa, we have strict animal laws here. the mum was of an age where she wouldn't have been adopted. it was so sad.
2:52 am
grannyrose
i figured he life she had was at least that... a life.
2:52 am
medusa
True. I would have been so tempted to take her and all the pups.
2:53 am
grannyrose
*rolls eyes* i hear you. but i was a single mum with three young boys to provide for.
2:54 am
medusa
I understand. It is hard to know what to do for the best.
2:55 am
grannyrose
at least i rescued Julia..the pup's name courtesy of my youngest.. loll....and she was such a bonus in our home.
2:56 am
medusa
I bet. And it is one little puppy that got a loving home. xx
2:56 am
grannyrose
and reporting the irresponsible owner wouldn't have helped the poor mum.
2:57 am
medusa
Makes you wonder why some of the rule exist.
2:57 am
grannyrose
medusa... she was amazing. as i said.. soooo clever... and loving
2:57 am
grannyrose
she filled my life with such joy
2:58 am
grannyrose
may Buster fill your life the same way.
2:59 am
medusa
Don't they all. Problem is the become outr children as well as our natural ones.
