Coco's new Barbour jacket. It'll keep her from getting soaked and cold when the weather is rubbish.

She needs a waxed-cotton flat cap and two pairs of green wellies to complete the look.
that will keep the rain off her back and warm her a bit.. a real countrified lady but in the town

Its the file size of your camera , Most cameras have size options , use 648 x 480 and they are then a usable size
How do they get their whites to be so white?

Yeah but when they spend half their time in hedges or creeping across flower beds they must get filthy. How does a bit of spit and a wipe cure that?
If I went out in all my white clobber and did that I'd never get the stains out.

Whilst preferably avoided, a bit of shit does not particularly faze me, having dealt with numerous blocked drains and cleared up after animal and child 'accidents'.
(incidentally, I was assistant superintendant for a local authority drainage department for a few years, damned interesting job actually, saw plenty of shit :D)

'Assistant superintendent' - is that fancy talk for 'watching while someone else does it', or were you more 'hands on'? Was it you that posted something about a super-turd in London's sewers, or did I dream it?

This Harry, he’s was born on Valentine’s Day 2010 and is a lovey. He’s not been very well recently as he had bloat and a twisted stomach. Very luckily I had only popped out and found him in time and rushed him to the Vet. They operated and saved him, he came home after a couple of days and we have nursed him back, he has lost 4kg and looks a bit thin, and still looks like an Irish poodle. Thankfully he is getting back to his stubborn, demanding and playful self.

Same thing happened a few years ago with one of our bullmastiffs.
It started with him acting strangely, trying to stretch and unable to settle. Then Anita noticed his stomach looked like it was swollen. She put him in the car and went off to the vets. As luck would have it there was a blizzard that evening and the motorway was having the worst 'white out' seen round here in years. By the time they got to the vets it was too late and he had to be put to sleep. This was all in the space of about 2 hours.
You were very fortunate Adrian, prompt action definitely the key here.

2 Cats and a KEF.
https://i.imgur.com/3GVZhQK.jpg
Bobo (ginger) and Roley (brown & white) relaxing to some classical music.
11 or 12 years old now , we got them from Cats Protection about 14 months ago after their owner died.
Bobo settled in quickly, Roley is far more timid and is still slowly settling in.
Bobo meet Toto...
This is the friendliest to humans of any cat I have known.
The last one treated humans with utter disdain if not fed when required. But generally, he was superior to humans and it was totally obvious he thought so. You were his bitch, his slave, at his command etc etc. That cat had almost post 6 year old human intelligence. Or so it seemed.
This one isn't anywhere near as clever.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181102/351a8e0827e1ab8070266f5184617a2c.jpg

Bobo looks like a British Short Hair? We’ve had 3 and they can be quite big pussies, and very nice cats.

Very sorry to hear that you lost your Bullmastiff, we lost our previous Irish Setter the same way, Mollie was only 6.
We have been very careful with Harry, not feeding to soon to exercise before or after, 2 smaller meals, one in morning, one in evening, we wet his dry food over night and he has 50/50 with meat, also feed him so his bowl is at a raised height. Vet said they really don't know what causes it, but more prevalent in large deep chested dogs. When I got home Harry had managed to open the bedroom door and had naughtily been playing with the scatter cushions, I suspect he was rolling about and twisted his stomach. The vet said that in the 20 minutes it took them to get him ready he had deteriorated, and another 30 minutes and he would not have made it. Anyway he is doing well now, we are just trying to keep him calm so he recovers well from a big op.

I think you're right Adrian, in fact they both look like British Shorthairs. They have very distinctive faces, wide, short muzzles and lovely full ears. My little Mia is a British Shorthair cross Bengal, makes for a normally quiet and gentle cat but sometimes a whirlwind of manic fur running riot. I wouldn't change her for the world.

It does help, but it's many years old, new ones are better, buy as big a one as possible. I'm lucky, the cigarette lighter power socket is live all the time, so the charger plugs in there. Two different Volvo 340's there, dark colour one was replaced with the lighter one in 2011.
Have you checked the alternator charging voltage?
The charging system is fine and the alternator output is spot on spec. It's just the car is not used much and the battery runs down, probably the immobiliser. The cigarette light is switched with the ignition but fortunately the battery is in the boot so connecting the trickle charger direct to the battery is no problem, just run the wires through the ski hatch in the back seat and lay the charger on the parcel shelf. I'll have a look on Amazon for one with a decent output. Cheers Alex.

Best put a fuse in the circuit if going direct to the battery. A good and/ or uprated battery should help, Bosch Varta etc. Has the drain on the battery been checked with everything turned off? My old Volvo only has the car clock and the radio station storage drains when everything is off.
I know a little about batteries, in the mid 70's I worked on the design of electric vehicles. Went on courses about batteries and electronic controllers for electric motors.

BMW checked it on their diagnostic computer and all is well, it's just lack of use I think. It's got a Bosch heavy duty battery. I've ordered the AA recommended charger, you can either clip it directly to the battery or plug it into the EOBD socket.

By the Ironbridge is the golf course, no dog walking there. I tend to walk the pooch round the back of Osterley Park or on Norwood Green. Sometimes I go to Pitshanger Park over in Ealing.

They are up there in years for ratty's but still like to play, they just tire easy now and sleep more.
The big bottle Ben is sitting on is huge over a liter , it is really for Ginny pigs. She still sits on it a lot ,it is her alone space.
They both still like to sit on my shoulders and watch T.V. If I am eating popcorn they will lick my cheek and sniff till I give them some.
If we leave the cage door open at night they will get out go across Conners dresser to the window sill jump down to his head board and climb down to his pillow and sleep next to him.
They are really cool little gals.
Rats are clean , they clean them selves but ours still get weekly baths. If the cage is cleaned as it should be there is no oder and ours are litter box trained .
Sad they don't live very long , 1 year for us is 30 years to a rat so 2 to 3 years is a long life for them. Even a rat can show it's love for someone shows it a little love.
I took care of a wounded wild Brown rat for a couple months and before it left would come take food from my hand.

Last pic day out in Portsmouth while van was getting tail lift fixed. Strangely Portsmouth council doesn't allow dogs in its parks, not the city centre ones anyway.
Lovely dog!
on a separate note, what's the point of a park that does not allow dogs in it??

They look very cute and very happy, content little souls. Rats make great pets, very intelligent and bright. I saw an article about how rats enjoy playing with us and actually laugh when you tickle them. It's a shame the perception is of grubby, smelly creatures, as you say they are clean and like to live in a clean environment. I'd love to have some but I think Mia the cat might have other ideas.

Its either health n safety or political correctness, gone mad.
Think it's bscause owners weren't picking up all the shoite producing a park that people and kids couldn't use properly.

Sorry, he. Yup I like cats too. My last one died after 22 years
Great age for a cat. Our last one was 21.
We currently have three... Aside from Emrys, there is Abella (a lovely tortoiseshell), and a cheeky wee black & white one, called Mitze, both girls. They're all just moggies from the Cat Protection League. Don't believe in paying for poncy pedigree cats.
If you're a true cat lover, you give strays a good home!:)

Our little cat, Luna.
She has an interesting backstory: one day my wife and I were peacefully having breakfast, when somebody rang the doorbell. When I opened the door, nobody was there, but a shoe box was left on our doorstep. Inside the shoebox was the tiniest little kitten I have ever seen.
We thought she wouldn't survive but thankfully our friend's cat had kittens at the time and served as a foster mother for Luna.
It was 14 years ago. She's still as zippy and as tiny as ever (weighs only 2.5kg). And the gentlest little creature ever, never aggressive, but always ready to purr.

I'm a great believer in rescue and rehoming animals, there are so many looking for a forever home.
My little Mia came from the RSPCA having been signed over after her previous owner had to go into a nursing home. She's always been an indoor cat and being very timid probably not a bad thing. I have to watch her diet as she's something of a food hoover but she's very affectionate and great company. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190429/1f4c5abaeebea7f449383eb0e746cfd4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190429/d15a41a8c9bce91787411e7f9b7cd32f.jpg

It is with great sadness that I must tell you that Tikki was taken to that great desert in the sky yesterday, the 10th of May 2019, at 17h30. All of the indications were that he suffered a heart attack. We are still trying to come to terms with his loss and with the massive vacuum it has left in our lives. He was our best friend and will always be in our hearts.

Around 9pm my neighbour knocked on the door - they had seen a cat crawl into their drive which then died and wondered if it was mine.
So went round and there was our cat in her drive.
Looks to have been knocked over but hard to tell.
To make it worse, we bought the cat for my daughter who is currently away at university.
My son is at work and won't be home till tomorrow
My wife is away and again won't be home until tomorrow.
Not looking forward to telling them all tomorrow !!!
Currently placed her in the garage in a plastic box so I can bury her tomorrow
Only had her for 1.5 years but she has become so much a part of the family.
Ain't life great.

Really sorry for your loss Andy. Some people would say it's just a cat, they don't know how much we love our furry family members. R.I.P. sweet kitty.
I still miss my cat even 6 years on. He came back to me in a dream too. I think they all do.

We're not sure exactly as he's a rescue, no history on him other than he was left tied up outside a rescue one night. But we've had him almost 7 years so he's at least 10 maybe a bit more.

I got this ferocious little bundle of attitude from the Blue Cross approx 2 years ago when no one else wanted her or would take her home with them.
So after 2 years of love and attention from me, she's still batshit crazy, but slightly less so and every now and then even affectionate before she tries to skin me alive.
The journey has been worth it despite the regular blood loss as she has now stopped ripping her fur out and refusing to eat. She's twice the size she was when i adopted her.

We had a nasty scare with our old fella Ozworth over the last couple of weeks. He's had a sever infection that saw him laid up in the vets for 3 days and nights. Thankfully he seems a lot better now even if he is still a bit slower than he was. Scaling the 6ft fence between us and his fav neighbour might be out of the question for a little while longer yet. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190708/2aee9fe5b0f747eb21b0ba6ac53ead2a.jpg

That's about it. THe pigs and cows get on fine but woe betide anyone who comes near that little gosling! Geese are great - they're the rottweilers of the bird world. Our dog doesn't scare anyone but the geese - that's another matter!

I have a friend who has a small holding, he says his geese are the best guard animals going. One of them has attached itself to him and follows him everywhere, including indoors.

There was an attempt to genetically engineer a Welsh cat by combining DNA with sheep. The "Llangollen Dolly" was a failure, constantly coughing up woolballs and dragging in freshly killed bales of hay into the house. And they were the laughing stock at cat shows, they just huddled together in a corner.They were all spayed, and eventually the breed died out.
Bet they don't teach that to the kids in school :D

18 - wow, what a magnificent old lady! Can a cat be a mad cat lady? :)
Nice looking cat, Andy, with a 'cheeky' but lovable little face:)
18 isn't so old these days for cats, as like human beings, animals are living longer now, due to improved diets/advances in veterinary medicine, so hopefully she's got a few more years left yet! Our (tabby) cats typically live until their early 20s. Our last black and white made her 22nd birthday!
Fate of course will be fate, but one of the most important things to do with cats (or dogs), in terms of prolonging their longevity, is looking after their teeth! That means a healthy, varied diet, and if necessary keeping tartar under control. That last bit is vitally important, because as soon as any animal starts having tooth or gum problems, it affects their appetite/general well-being, and it can be the beginning of a slippery downwards slope...
Also, just as you would with any human member of your family, keep an eye on your cat(s) and watch for any adverse changes in their behaviour, and if you're concerned, take them immediately to the vet. Plus take them there for regular check-ups and have them immunised annually for cat flu.
Quite simply, if you care for them, don't take any chances with their health, and the likelihood is, barring any unforeseen medical issues, you'll be rewarded with the long relationship of a loving companion.

So scratching at equipment, chewing at cables. How did you stop this, or prevent this? Question for kitten/cat owners.
So scratching at equipment, chewing at cables. How did you stop this, or prevent this? Question for kitten/cat owners.
My cat was a scratchy bitch at times but i roared at her a few times she went near my speakers and she got the message..;) as did my grandkids:D
Not had to worry too much re a kitten before, so that might be an issue... I guess instruction may be the best method
Shouting is the best method although kittens not so receptive to that.
Once cat is mature it should not be chewing on or damaging anything, if it is then it is because it is not happy.
Exception being if they want feeding and you are paying no attention so they start raking the furniture. Obviously this is deliberate to piss you off so shouting won't help. Solution is to feed the cat.

My speakers are gloss black, so the cat has no interest. Might be different if they looked a bit more 'woody'. Problem here is Mrs. Pony with the hoover, and shouting doesn't seem to work, she just says something about me doing it myself with a few f words chucked in :(

I think that's a female thing, they regard the hoover as an instrument of destruction. They get angry whilst hoovering. I blame feminism.
My cat was always a happy fellow, he never damaged anything. He did make a small rip in a settee cushion, clambering onto the back of it to look out the window. But that was an accident.
if the cat is trashing stuff it is because he is stressed in some way. Cats are like Dustin Hoffman in 'Rainman', they want routine and predictability in their home. The also want to be able to come and go as they please. if the cat is imprisoned in the house it will stress (although you get the odd one that doesn't like going out at all that is very rare). Likewise if they have to ask to go out, or just get chucked out and have to wait to be let back in. You have to construct your life and home around the cat, not the other way around.
I quite like hoovering... sucking up cats was my hobby:eyebrows:
I quite like hoovering... sucking up cats was my hobby:eyebrows:
men don't get angry when hoovering. We just regard it as another boring task that has to be done before we can go to the pub or sit down and watch the football. however a woman thinks less of herself every time she switches the hoover on.
This is also why dishwashers are so popular now and why it is usually the man who ends up loading and unloading them.
