Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

That's my shadow on the brown dog, I'm sat on the smaller sofa opposite. :twisted:

Peter, this looks as if it might be appropriate.

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

Sally, on the sofa, is 13&1/2 and Max on the floor is 4 next month.

My dogs are family, but I hate people referring to them as children and the vets calling the dog not the owner. As in Sally Smith rather than Mr Smith. Other surnames are available. :wink:

Peter
Know exactly where you are coming from, we have 3 bitches ( 12, 7 and 2)and a male who is lodging with us at present. They are family and some parts of life centre around them. Hence why some people should never have dogs.

Our vet practice has the same habit for calling names.
I must ask my g/daughter who is training to become a veterinary nurse if there is a official reason

Well I hope this practices never migrates to our GP surgeries. Imagine sitting in the Waiting Room and being called out as "Mr Urinary Infection", Mrs Haemorroids" or a hundred even more embarrassing conditions :oops: :shock:

I complained at our doctors because the practice nurse was having "Mrs Smith blood test" scrolling across the board etc. The man next to me said he hoped they didn't put piles after his name when he was called.

Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

We ended BST and changed the clocks a few days back and already I have seen 5am enough times to know that for me it is a useless time of the morning at which being awake serves no useful purpose.

Its too dark out to see or do anything useful.

I make myself a cup of tea and see if anything has been posted on here overnight. Usually not.

All things I do do have to be done extra quietly so as not to disturb the other half and I have to hope that the dogs don't decide I am someone strange (I am but that's besides the point :D ) that they should do their duty and bark at.

At the third stroke the time will be........beep beep beep

:D Peter

I'd quite like to make the noise picture 2 would create but I wouldn't have the nerve to interrupt her rest.

It's another touch of irony that I wake up at stupid o'clock and no longer have a day job to go to and Mrs Snip has to get up and go to work still.
