So do I!

My little Girl Lulu ( Shih Tzu Maltese) Loves Yoghurt Lettuce with oil, Tomato, Tuna, Chicken with Mango sauce, Mince meat with tins of tomato and bacon pieces, boiled eggs, and the list goes on.

 

Yes she is a Princess, I love her to bits. She has to go to the dentist though, to get her teeth cleaned and maybe one pulled out in a few weeks time. Other than that she is fit and healthy and not overweight, we are both watching our food intake at the moment. I am worried for her she has to go under Anaesthetic which is why it will cost over $500 just for the procedure to start

Killing Rats !  Picking up BIG dead one, feeling great solidarity with @Wee fluffy me and wondering if she has them under control.

They have been eating delicious poison and rumbling under the house at night in their death throes.

OMG How frightening.

[Sazerac]

Living by the river in the city with a restaurant a few doors down are all red flags. 

Plus an irresponsible neighbor with construction trash issues.

If people knew what close proximity rats co-exist with us in every situation it might frighten many.

Eeek, for sure and plenty of nightmare fodder.

I wrote about the last major infestation here in The Rat Raga (not for the squeamish)

and still wish we could peacefully co-exist like Ratty in The Wind In The Willows.

 

So GLAD straya got rain !

What kind of cactus are you growing @forestgreen ?  I'm into them also and have a few beauties.

Wow great sales.  Unfortunately they want to grow up so fast.  Hang tough in that area Jo.  You are doing great!

[notsmokinjo]

My daughter was larger busted.  When we were shopping for her senior pictures, she would try dresses on and drop to her knees in tears not finding anything that fit well.  I finally took her and bought her a really expensive form fitting bra.  That was it.  Everything fit beautiful after that.  It is better to spend more for better support.  

Sounds like you girls have had fun.  Keep making those memories!

Sent the information to the city. Building, permits, historic district, etc.  No progress, no communication.

Trying to contain my fury before I start my phone/email campaign.

Looking out the window at my new car, and wanting to give it another drive! I went out in it last sunday and my anxiety levels were through the roof!!!!! I even thought about smoking! ( old habits and coping remedies) but did,nt. I have been driving my old car for 13 years, and feel so comfortable with it and recognise instantly what all the dials, buttons and levers are for. The brakes are so good I thought I would go through the windscreen when I braked! it seems so much bigger than my old car too, though is only marginally wider!! I honestly felt like a new driver in it. I will get used to it I know. I am going out in it again with hubby tomorrow. Feeling a bit anxious as my old car will be gone in 3 or 4 weeks.

I need my big girl pants on LOL.

Has anyone else felt like this driving a new/ different car. I am a creature of habit.

Yes catlover!  The older I get, the more I hate new things.  The new cars have so many new functions on them.  I have been driving my Sienna van for over a year and still am learning

things.  Relax and enjoy that new smell.  

[catlover]

Thanks Linda, I sort of hate new things and change too, but I can't keep my old car any longer, and I'm so happy I dont have to put it through the MOT another year. Last year when I took it to the garage for it's yearly checks, they were saying " You still got the car then" I found it embarrassing that they kept patching her up lol.

I,m still using my old car, and bet my neighbours are thinking I am strange  using it, with a nice new one to drive lol.

 

Linda.... I googled the Sienna Van. wow that does look big. I would feel like I was driving a bus driving it haha.

That is small to me.  I drove a school bus for 30 yrs.

I loved the change from a car to a Kombi Bus back in the day. It had a Bullbar on the front, so I was high up and extremely powerful. Now I have my littilast car, and I soon got used to all the functions, now wish I had more buttons to push. (Never satisfied)

It IS all about maintaining the barricades, isn't it Wee one.  Gah.

I have a half dead family acting like moles and digging out dirt in my raised bed.  WTF, rat burial practices ?  Stoned on poison ?

They have been ignoring peanut butter on traps and sometimes push poison away.  I have to up my game.

Valiant Varminating-ly yours,
