Cats, Dogs and Pets

Not 100% on chucking them in as its a new washing machine that I took delivery of about 6 weeks ago, so wouldn’t want any cat piss smell going on everyones clothes. Gonna soak them overnight and take it from there.

Fireworks have started going off, so time to get the cats in!!!

Relatively - Bought them maybe 2 years ago, but only started wearing them a couple of months back. Will save shoe talk for the shoe thread.

Hopefully a soak overnight and a blast through the washing machine in the morning will sort them out.

Cats are in - and I’m gonna do a round of hiding my shoes now

Oh thanks mate I thought that’d be a bit too hoop-jumpy for people to bother where Facebook if you’re logged in it’s just clicking a like button.

Went shopping in IKEA for dining chairs yesterday. We got bored and grumpy so we went and got a puppy instead.

Seamus the schnauzer. I had a Schnauzer when I was younger so I’m so stoked.

Still don’t have any dining chairs

I can’t imagine something less Australian than IKEA. Congrats on your new fur baby though

It’s the only place in Australia that feels like being in Wembley. I fucking hate it.

One of our old cats was a tiny wee thing, completely placid normally but she’d developed a strategy where if any other cat came in our garden no matter how big and gnarly she would just go full on banshee, no squaring up and yowling she’d just run full pelt and steam into them. Never saw one that didn’t just immediately turn tail and get the fuck out of there. RIP Fid.

My dog’s going through a bit of a phase at the moment where he will just not stop barking in the garden. Nothing except luring him back inside with treats seems to work to stop him and he doesn’t listen to any known commands when he’s in that mood. Outside of the garden (at ours or my in-laws, where he’s spending a little bit of time while our bathrooms are being renovated), he’s absolutely fine; listens to commands and doesn’t bark etc. Any of you got any ideas of how to cut out this habit?

Love it :heart_eyes: have you noticed how derpy they are? How the fuck do they survive in the wild. They’re absolutely a reptile version of a cat - if that cat was uncoordinated and clumsy. Wonderful things

Absolutely. No way he could feed himself. He struts around, doing the wavy tail thing, like ‘I’m the alpha hunter’ then the prey either runs off or hides underneath him and he’s fucked. No idea where it is - if it even existed in the first place.

Omg the wavy tail thing is amazing. So cute. We have (or have had) a lot of reptiles are the leopard geckos are a lot more personable than
any of the others. They have clear personalities.

They surely can’t be that retarded in the wild? Surely?

I’d give him two days in the wild, max. Fuck knows how they survive…

My dog does this when the local fox is chilling in the bushes at the end of our garden. Rarely see the thing, but our dog always lets us know when it’s there! Pain. Especially early in the morning.

Picking up a female/bitch Cocker Spaniel puppy tomorrow. Managed to keep it a secret from the children for two months, which is a pretty decent achievement really.

They’ve wanted a dog for years so hopefully they’ll be hyped.

Cocker Spaniels are the fucking best. Ours is a dick sometimes with the aforementioned barking but his personality is huge. Spend so much time just looking at him and laughing.

Here he is on a hike in the Peak District last year. Share puppy pictures please.

Edit: invest in one of these leads that goes over their nose. When they’re in a new place, or if you take them somewhere they need to be chill (pub, shop etc) they’re useful just to calm them down. Buzz almost makes himself pass out pulling to sniff everywhere otherwise. He knows how to walk at heel, and does most of the time, it’s just sometimes the need to sniff overtakes everything. These leads just put the brakes on them in a gentle way.

Also don’t miss the opportunity to make them do stupid shit just for your amusement.
