River Cottage

Hots, she was worth the wait - what a cuty. And TIger is divine!!

HURRAY HURRAY HUZZAH! you did it hots! What a beautiful girl rosie is  (will just say that if you post a pic then go back to edit it in any way the pictures disappear for some reason & you need to re-paste them all in, so I suggest only ever editing posts with just text in them)

Anna - Tiger is a gorgeous mouser. She reminds me of my first ever cat as a child - also called willow strangely (as is our pooch)

Anna - Tiger looks like a real little huntress.

Jojo, do you keep the same name going then or did your new dog come with that name?

Hots, if you go into your profile, you can turn off those awful e-mails by saying never contact.

Tiger is a fantastic mouser - she earns her keep for sure! She's a rescue and I'm so glad we took her in.

Tiger looks very aristocratic.  What colours.  And very IN CHARGE.

Ah, you've met her then!

Anna T, your lovely Tiger is approaching the camera, tail up with full eye contact, saying

"well whats t'do here then?  Did you ASK me?  Shall I let you continue, or shall I just come along and put you all off what you should not be doing, becuase I am in charge."

I had a full pedegree Abyssinian that was like that, til she lost her eye sight aged nine, with cataracts.  Still kept going until she was 17.  And in fact my other 17 year old cross bred Grey Cat (called Robinson) was the same.  I've always encouraged communication in my animals.   Always fostered it.  My old Holly dog (died this year in May, twelve and a half) used to come up to me, sit her bottom down and then thwack me with a paw, which would remain in place on my arm or leg whilst she sat stock still staring at me directly and I ran through all the words she knew, and when I hit on the right one that she wanted, she would LEAP into the air.  She would also get frustrated if I did not get to the right word quickly enough, and raise her paw and thwack me again.

Sorry, I digress.  good at that, me.

Aww they are all lovely, will try and take some pics and post them although I tried the other day and couldnt do it, will try again!

JoJoBean, can I ask?  Back to the original post, you said Willow, Wilbur and Stinky.  Three names.  But only two photos.  Two white dogs and an OH with back pain.  Did one of the dogs have more than one name, or was the OH Stinky?    Am confused.   Love the original pic of doggie on his back.  In same photo, is that another doggie, to the right, black sort of labradoodle?  Or is that a rug?

Ha ha.  Tis what our worlds are about, dogs, comatose OH, and confusion.  Well, my world is.
