Oh god ogod
I just spent a considerable amount of time cleaning my hand with antiseptic.
I tried to usher Tigger along the sofa and touched his bum!! His actual bum, not just his furry buttocks.

I have a rotten cold, apparently. It feels very odd, but the CO alarm didn't go off so it can't be that.

eeeeeow
i am watching "pet shame" and laughing at an african grey that won't stop swearing.

and trying to put off going to work.... boo.

edit - it's now going on about a dog's anal sacs. i think that is enough incentive to head off to the office.

I think the universe is telling you to go to work
Via the medium of anal sacs.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:14, Reply)

I wonder if his anal gland needs doing. Do you take them to the vet for that?
I hope he won't be tricking me into touching his bum again

Oh god I might get Becky up here to do it

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:26, Reply)

from what i have just learned courtesy of sky tv
if tigger isn't obese, his anal sac glands should be fine.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:30, Reply)

No he's slim
Sometimes gets a tummy but generally looks like a baby lamb.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:33, Reply)

what colour is he?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:38, Reply)

Tabby and white

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:43, Reply)

cute!!!

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:46, Reply)

I'll try and get a picture up.
He always looks angelic but he has zero respect and dishes out domestic violence on a regular basis.

Here's my boy
He likes vino like his mam.

awwwww nothing
That little thing is a vicious bastard. Thankfully he knows better than to go anywhere near me.

He does have a very cute tiny face though.
( djtrialprice, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:14, Reply)

Look at his face
It's so tiny.
And he does go near you, but you shun him, and then he is forced to express himself by nibbling your toes.
The poor little thing.

hello tigger!

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:02, Reply)

oh yeah i'd love to see him
i adore cats but unfortunately am massively allergic to them, it's very sad.

oh god he's so cute, look at his massive eyes!!!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:58, Reply)

I was allergic but my ex's mum had loads of cats
and over time I got ok.
Same with my old flatmate. It's a nightmare at first but with contact it can subside.

Look at this one. Then I promise to stop.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:11, Reply)

he's so pretty!
what's he looking at? the camera?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:15, Reply)

He's looking at a pen I have
You'd love it. It's pink with a butterfly and maribou on the end.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:17, Reply)

yes that sounds like exactly the sort of pen i would buy
and then whip out of my bag at a client meeting, much to my boss' facepalming disgust
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:21, Reply)

One of the barmaids bought me that
along with a pink stapler and pink lips Post-Its.
She doesn't know me very well. I'm so unpink!
(Too much pink bedroom as a child. Up to here with it.)
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:23, Reply)

it does sound quite girly
i am not a pink girly girl at all, i only have about 2 pink items of clothing. but ever since i bought my pink fridge to femininise up my grey/stainless steel/wood/brown kitchen, i do have a soft spot for matching pink gadgets!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:28, Reply)

What's he doing on the dining table!?

( djtrialprice, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:17, Reply)

While the dj's away...
And isn't it evident what he's doing?
He's being gorgeous.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 12:18, Reply)

Pfft!
Don't tell me you've never tricked anyone into touching your bum.
( girlinthehole, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:30, Reply)

Course I have!

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:34, Reply)

why does owning a pet involve
dealing with so much poo?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:06, Reply)

Same with babies and the elderly. And students.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:16, Reply)

This is why it is to be avoided
and then there's the thousands of pounds a year spent on food, vets, clothes and the TIME of walks, grooming, playing. Not for me.

I used to have hamsters
their poo isn't so gross, but they don't live long enough
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:23, Reply)

they are a bit pointless too, surely
there is a reason they are extinct in the wild!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:24, Reply)

Are they extinct in the wild?
I love hamsters.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:25, Reply)

Oh man no, they're hilarious
You can train them.
And they don't smell, like other rodents.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:26, Reply)

maybe it was the one we had when i was a student
it was a right little bastard! in particular you did NOT want to sit near it, it would aim itself so that its piss shot out of the bars of the cage...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:29, Reply)

what they hell did you do to it?
I have never seen one do that
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:36, Reply)

they do like to keep their cages clean i think
stupid little ginger rodent, it made me sneeze and i hated it!!!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:37, Reply)

I had one who used to do a handstand followed by a gentle piss out of her cage
She just didn't like mess.
She was so prissy and girly, yet she had messy fur and was the size of a fucking guinea pig. We had to widen the window of her little house because her arse kept getting stuck.
I nicknamed her Britney, but she was called Holly. She used to go for naps up my sleeve.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:42, Reply)

how can you not love a creature that
does handstands to pee?!
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:48, Reply)

She didn't do it all the time, and she always aimed it perfectly out of the same corner so it didn't spill onto the carpet.
Another time she caught a corner of our sofa throw and tried to stuff it all in her pouches for bedding. I wonder if she'd have got the whole sofa in there if we'd not found her.
She was so cute and friendly and pretty that I'd have forgiven her anything.

Just for a cute joke, I wrapped up a present for one hamster at christmas
and put it in a baby sock. He could obviously smell it was a chewy stick and tried to pull it in and open it, it was proper bless

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:29, Reply)

Yes they don't bring much to the table
Small, slow, harmless and probably tasty...
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:34, Reply)

slow?!
they are proper fast when awake, dwarf hamsters especially
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 7 Nov 2010, 11:35, Reply)

certainly the ones I had didn't really have 'street smarts'
or any smarts really. They are very sweetly dumb
