My last night pet/house sitting!!

I LOVE these beasts but heck, such hard work!! At the moment it's 1:31am in the UK and the 2 dogs are play fighting!! I am soooooooo tired, i have hardly been to work lately so will be very skint VERY soon.

They are such beautiful animals and a dream to be with. However i need normallity SOOON!! I sat down at lunchtime with the newspaper and woke up over 4 hours later because my mobile was ringing!!

I hope my mate and her hubby have had a great holiday, I've enjoyed the change but as our other friends at the yard say i look worn out!!

I am moaning, sorry, i'm just tired and the older dog is picking on the teenage rottie as i type!! I LOVE them all so much but this is a MADHOUSE full of MAD animals!! Worst bit is I FIT IN!!!!

2 cats, 2 dogs and a HUGE stubborn female horse i have been caring for and will do anyday. I love each and everyone. I NEEEEEEEEEDDDD SLLLEEEEEP! i woke up the other night with the rottie standing ON ME like a mountain goat!! Rather heavy!!

Oh Michelle shut up and sleep! I have to admit i am SO tired i'm scared to sleep incase i don't wake up with my alarm!!

ok rant over i'm off to bed, just incase i don't wake up for a while happy halloween guys xxx......michelle

Man, and I thought I had it bad with my 2 dogs. You gotta love those animals though. They always seem to put a smile on your face even when your down and out. Natalie

A friend of mine always told me that is how we can tell that God has a sense of humor. Even his creations make us smile. (Has anyone seen that funny home video of a monkey in a zoo that cringes after smelling his finger he just picked his but with?)

For every naughty thing these critters do, they surely do something that grabs your heart and holds it. Right now I have my 4 cats and 6 fish tanks, lots of work, and then they give you the love look!!

If I was still working - I would have gone mad by now - there is just no way I could have come home from a 10 hour shift dealing with people in usually negative and compromising circumstances and then look after these guys.

Let's raise a glass to retirement, and finally getting to do something you love!!

No wonder you are pooped, Michelle! My pets seem to have become my full time job at home, wish I figure out a way to make $$$ instead of spend $$$ -- we'd be rich!

However, it is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than my paying job was - even tho I did it for over 25 years!!! Guess if you wait long enough!!

OH FOR SURE!!! but the thing is he IS only just over 10 months old so still naive and learning life with humans rules!

If I say ' cuddle' he's allowed to put his feet on my shoulders for a hug, i'm only 5 foot 3, he must be a good 3 inches higher than me! Such a soft hearted boy too. Love him. His older buddy Harry is such a gent! Put's the rot in his place. If my mate says ok i will post more pics. Have FAB one of one of the cats behind laptop at her house, tis my current desktop pic.

LoL, can't wait. Have you noticed I love pics? lol, I wish I had a camera so I could post pics too. But, then I'd need pets to post them of lol! I suppose I could take some of the geckos and roadrunners we have here... hmm?

God i love geckos!! I went to a course in Austria in the mountains once and they were everywhere when we had a touchlight nightime walk. I LOVED them, others didn't, i was SOOOO scared i'd stand on one. I didn't!!!

LoL My sister hated them. My mom and I were hoping to get one to live near our house (they serve as wonderful clean up crew. They eat all sorts of crickets and spiders and creepy crawlies). So a long time ago I managed to catch a baby in my hand. I kept it in there while I drove all the way home (my mom wouldn't touch it lol). I brought it inside the house and placed it underneath some cupboards. Now, years later, they're all over and my sister loves watching them as they cling to the outside of the window. She can even tell, and keeps track of, when they've eaten since they are so translucent. What she once hated now has grown fond of lol

Oh lord knows!! I've been asleep since then!!

I had goldfish as a child and loved them then one got dropsy and looked so vile, i was only about 10 i think but it freaked me out.
After that i hated seeing fish, would panic if one was around where i was, gave fish counters wide berth in supermarkets. OMG for many years i'd shake, burst into tears....it was awful.

One day my ex said i want to get a fish tank, my nightmare. He did, he said they are my goldfish i will look after them BUT like a kid he lost interest SO because i'm animal mad i had to learn to look after them. HAHA as in stand several feet away and hurl food in. Anyway i went for hypnotherapy to try to get rid of fear after a BAD accident with my horse, result was i LOVE fish!! Still scared of riding but LOVE fish!! Do i sound nuts?!
