*starts the morning shift*
Gilbert's not back yet : (

If he has carked it then he's had a good innings so it's not too bad but I would have liked to see his little fat face once more to say my goodbyes.

No question. Just comments.

He has disappeared for a day or two before but not in this bad weather.

( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 8:36, Reply)

he's probably fine, then.
he is, after all, wearing a full-length fur coat.

Not strictly true
Mine has done a runner twice - once whilst being exercised by a friend - she was out overnight and found her way home from 8 miles away. My ex was recuperating after a leg op and I was working and we thought getting someone to walk her would work - never again.
2nd time was just in September - had gone to visit my gran over 200 miles away and ex was supposed to be looking after her - he left her with his elderly parents and she bolted out of the front door, managed to cross a very busy main road and was found the next morning by a lovely couple in Berkhamsted, some 8 miles away from where she was staying. The ex lives on a boat and so she seems to head for familiar places along the canal - glad she went the way she did, wouldn't have fancied her chances in Watford! On both occasions she was trying to get home....

I think this is the first post back too!
If you get another cat, are you going to call him Gilbert?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:23, Reply)

I shan't be getting any more pets for a while.
I'd like a small dog though.
( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:25, Reply)

Dogs are superior to cats, that is a fact.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:27, Reply)

I thought women in your situation liked keeping cats
Hundreds of them, some dead, some barely alive

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:31, Reply)

small dogs FTW
especially staffies. too many of them in rescues at the the moment.
( DarkSon a time and date will follow this username on, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:31, Reply)

I'm not really a dog fan but small dogs are OK.
I've warmed to them more since my parents got two Jack russels.

My dad got my stepmum two miniature pinschers to use as baby substitutes
Fucking awful little yappy things. Ugh.

My parents dogs aren't really yappy.
They are funny, clever and full of win.
( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:36, Reply)

Proper dogs are awesome
We had a Black Labrador for years, fucking loved that dog.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:37, Reply)

That's ok then
But I still prefer cats.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:38, Reply)

if you're very unlucky
I might post up pictures of mine.
( DarkSon a time and date will follow this username on, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:37, Reply)

Please do.
We like pet pics on here.
( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:38, Reply)

There are no pictures of my dog
Only my Stepmum's, and he was ginger. :-(

Aw! what a sweetie.
And such a lovely colour.
( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:48, Reply)

she's just come back from the vet in that picture
and is feeling a bit under the weather. It's about the only time she stays still long enough to take a picture
( DarkSon a time and date will follow this username on, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:53, Reply)

My cat ran away
two and a half weeks ago :(
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:26, Reply)

Still no sign?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:27, Reply)

Well no
Unless you count the false alarm yesterday. Which I don't.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:28, Reply)

Oh dear : (
Daft little buggers aren't they. You'd think they'd wait till the summer to run away.
( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:28, Reply)

Yeah but my cat had more than a touch of the retarded about her

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:28, Reply)

Unlucky. Hope he comes back.

Will I be seeing you at the weekend?
( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:30, Reply)

Yes, you bloody will.
It's going to be fun.
( thealternativefact, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:30, Reply)

Splendid!

Are you wearing your new dress?

( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:31, Reply)

hell yeah
It's possibly a bit too fancy but I don't care
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:32, Reply)

I doubt that it's too fancy : )

( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:33, Reply)

It won't be.
You're just used to dressing in jeans, that's all.
I am very excited indeed.
Luis said he stayed in an apartment with the same company in Bath and it was really nice.

^this
I've got a nice tunic to wear with Jeans and I'll feel overdressed.
( girlinthehole, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:39, Reply)

It was an amazing idea of mine to book an apartment for the weekend

It has slacked off a little.
I've just been having such a MASSIVE PARTY celebrating your absence that standards of punctuation have inevitably dipped somewhat.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 9:34, Reply)

It's a shame you can't multi-task,
but then what can one expect from a drug-addled, soppy man such as yourself?

Incontinence?
