yes we are pleased to hear that. I think she is <3 why thank you :D I jut got the koi and the ears and the bg lol so I wanted to play with them. Yours is very lovely with a lot of green hues XD.

I am sure it is a good sign that she is eating. I hope things keep improving for her. :squishes: I will of course keep her in my thoughts. ❤

I am very glad my mum and her siblings were able to stay firm on her not coming home.

Hehe.. if I remember correctly I joined that choir before I even started school. Which at the time was at age 7. Now kids start at 6.

:D

Niamh insisted on the greens, because apparently that makes it a very Christmassy outfit :P

and that she was able to benefit from being somewhere with more care & support, even though it was only for a brief time :)

That's the same age I was when I joined the dance group (their official minimum age was 7, but they let me join at 6, as I knew my left from my right, which apparently was the only requirement! :P), although I think singing in a choir would've been more nerve-wracking for me at that age! ;)

it looked great XD I love the new bluey one too XD read below

it's a great sign.
Melody's cleared the worst of it. She's got normal poop and is eating. She's still fighting some of it but they even told us we could come get her. Until lol they heard we had 5 cats, then they said it might be best for her to wait a week. I know I can be extremely impatient, but actually I feel better with her there just in case she does need vet help so we'll go get her in 8 days ❤ I'm beaming through the roof though.

@ Paddy Absolutely. ❤

I have never been good at dancing, but my mum signed me up for dance classes, I did not stick around for it that long. :) I tried so many activities growing up. The one that stuck was horseback riding. :)

That is wonderful news! :D I am so happy for you and lil Melody! :) squishes you both I got some news too... very surprising news. lol :goes to smail:

the shelter called this afternoon. They've got so many dogs now that have parvo so they need the space to get them cared for and we need to come get Melody. But now this conflicts with what they told me the night before--so I called our vet and told them the situation. They've said she doesnt need to be kept away from the kitties. In fact she can go about the house as normal--Because we have no other dogs. Now, they did tell us no dogs over inside the house for 2 months and no dogs in the back garden for 8 months LOL but since we don't know anyone with dogs and are social distancing anyway that's totally fine. And in a week I can walk her around the neighbourhood--which makes me super pleased.

I didn't get an smail dear.

ooo that's a nifty HA - did he drop the bauble, or was that the after effects of a cat trying to redecorate the tree? ;)

That's fantastic with Melody having recovered enough to be allowed back home :D :D Can she still get her shots when they're due, or does that have to be delayed until she's back to 100%?

I didn't try all that many - I think once I found the dance classes, that was enough for me laughs I've always wanted to learn to ride a horse, but the one time I did have the chance to go for a very short rise, I was terrified of falling off (I know I dislike heights, but I hadn't expected the horse to feel so high up! 😊) Did you get to go on long rides through the countryside?

I did get to go on a few rides around the countryside, but not that many. It was usually at the riding school only. :)

That is wonderful! I am glad she is able to safely come home. :D Enjoy your little pup! Sent new smail. :)

it still sounds like a lot of fun though ;) :D

I did have a lot of fun for sure. :D That and playing videogames were probably my favorite things to do, along with reading books of course. ;) Did you take up any other hobbies as a kid, other than the dancing? Organized or not? :)

bit of both? yes still getting the remaining shot/s. Not sure if it's just one set or two. I have all the paperwork but it was raining so i left it all in the car.

me too. She got a bath and played and all. I'm so exhausted lol.

lol I bet she has a lot of energy. xD

Mum always called me a book worm, as I could get through books really quickly 😊 we had a competition most years at the library where you'd get stickers and a badge or something if you read a certain number of books during the summer holidays.... I usually reached their target much earlier than they thought anyone would! ;) Other than that, I liked collecting things (I had a coin collection, and also collected dog ornaments at one point - Mum hated dusting the shelves they were on!) ;)

ooo and another great HA :D I can't blame you on that - just remember to bring the paperwork in at some point, before it gets lost under a pile of something else (if your car is anything like my Dad's, then you find hidden treasures in odd places after a while :P)

Has she settled back into your routine yet?

yes, lol she does. I get tired before she does, it seems.

THank you. Yours looks great today as well. I did. It's in the mail sorter at the moment. Not yet. It's a total reset basically. She cried for ages last night. It was tough to let her cry :/

lol it is hard to keep up with them. xD Hope to see some pics soon!

That sounds like me when I was a kid. Loved reading. :D Especially books/stories about horses and mystery/fantasy. :D Nancy Drew etc. :) I collected stickers and stamps (for a little while at least). ;)

thanks :D I got the cw in an anonymous gift box the other day, so Niamh insisted on using it ;) Aww, but I guess that's understandable given the unusual time she'd had with needing to be back at the vet's. How's she getting on today?

I never read Nancy Drew laughs Most of mine were books about animals I think ;) Stamp colleting wasn't something I ever really thought of as a kid, although I can imagine there's lots of potential for a big collection with all the new stamp themes that get released ;)

It really is. I'll try to get so, pictures up. I got some new things sewn for my shop this afternoon.

wow that's nice! I need one of those lol. Today's looks pretty too. she's doing well I think. we've had a busy day lol and got to watch me sew and eat some food in her kong. Trying to have her play is still a challenge but we're working on it.

Hopefully she'll get the hang of playing - I guess maybe she'd never been introduced to toys before, so she's not too sure what to do with them? ;)

ooo that's a striking outfit today :D

pretty likely yeah. She has played with the little whale toy though. well I say little and it's nearly as big as she is lol.

why thank you :D lol Sorn isn't thrill about this ha, but I told him there's weapons hidden in the stall

that's a positive that she's played with one of them :D hehe you need to get a pic of her with that! ;)

I didn't think Sorn looked overly thrilled.... I'll stand well clear just in case he loses patience :P
