  • Good afternoon all,

    Just seen a lovely big fox with a rabbit in his mouth. at least he'll leave the chickens alone today I hope.

    Going back to the conversation about vets. He said he could give me an internet precription for a drug that was going to cost £500 a month that was for an auto-immune condition that he thinks my dog has. When I asked how you could trust drugs bought on the internet he said if they were too cheap probably suspect. Weren't fake human drugs found in Pharmacies recently?

    Postman has just brought my 3 free iris . They come from T. M. so hopefully should be ok. 

    I am now reduced to using chopsticks to pull out the remnants of plants out the bottle image Giving up now. Tomorrow is another day.

    Ironing is something I do not enjoy.

    Bramear in Scotland was - 8 last night so expect them to get the snow first and hope you're right about the weather , Geoff . image

  • I have 3 cats and i cant believe the price of the worming and flea treatment they have each month, it has got really expensive, but it needs to be done. Especially as Lennie is always catching mice he never seems to eat the head though.

    As for the ironing  i do as little as possible, the husband has a clean shirt every day and as he works in an office doesnt wear a jumper. I do let the ironong pile up which is why it takes so long to do, my sister in law even irons dishcloths and tea towels, im not that bad.

    £500 a month seems a lot of money, for remedy that might not work, for an ailment that seems uncertain.

    I can see why people might be prepared to pay a lot of money to help a pet. But I'm not convinced that's the right thing to do.

    Presumably you've researched the supposed ailment as best you can independently.

    I am prepared to allow daily ironing of a man's shirt, for business.

  • You have to think of the quality of life that the animal has. My mums dog had severe osteoarthritis over the years sha had tried so many things, drugs alternate therapys etc, it came to a point when enough was enough ans although Tally was only 8 we decided it wasnt fair to put her through anymore and said goodbye. Its the last kindness i think. I have had many cats and it doesnt get any easier when its their time but i wouldnt be without them. I now have 3 loonies that keep me on my toes usually trying to rescue a frog or mouse in the middle of the night

  • Just having a lunch break, cheese and tomato sarnie on honey and sunflower bread followed by a coconut macaroon with chocolate on.



    .What course is your daughter doing Maud?



    Pam, lots of problems with counterfeit drugs in the NHS and with most other products you can think of, the Internet has given the counterfeits easy access to customers. Sorry, that sounds like one of my lectures!



    It as definitely a hot thread on here yesterday, you have to be careful where you put your pumpkins!
  • She is doing a degree in costume and design for theatre, film and tv. Its a 2 year degree and she can go on to do a 3rd year for a B.A. She ahs been working for 5 years and at 23 she is the eldest on the course. Im amazed at the amount of work she has to do hence the house looking like a tip. Well its a tidier tip at the mo roll on the weekend when shes home

    The problem with having pets is that we never think of the inevitable -that just gets shut in a very small corner of the mind

    I know people who have spent money- into the thousands on operations on cats well into their teens-all logic goes out of the window.

    If Cody ever needed a big operation-and even if he only had 5 % chance of survival the plastic would come out.

    Glyn-are you sure that is the healthy option?

    Ironing is definitely woman's work image

  • Oh yes I think you said before, sounds really interesting. Students are classed as mature at 21 nowadays. Perhaps she will win an Oscar one day!

    I had a cat of 18 that had a stroke, the vet reckoned i could put some drug up his bottom  the cat not the vet) and it would stop him fitting, i felt i would never go out in case he had a fit when i was not there. I really couldnt put the old boy through any more distress. He is now in the garden and has frittilarias planted on top of him, i speak to him most days. and all the others out there.
