well mum did stay... which turned out to be really good because i needed her help.  We had a few really bad gusts of wind on friday night and as a result I lost a 4metre section of my fence... which meant that Izzy had nothing keeping her from wandering the streets and destroying everyone elses garden instead of just mine. 

 

Actually, it really scared me because i was out that night and the gusts of wind were about 8.30pm and we didnt get home til almost 11pm so I thought for sure that Izzy would have taken off, but I got out of the car and called her, and she was just sitting there waiting for me to come home (whether she had already been for a wander and was home again I dont know), but it was such a relief to know that she was home and was ok, not hurt or anything.

 

But it also meant that we had to have her and the cats inside last night (which didnt go well, and resulted in both of us only getting about an hour's sleep) and meant that this morning I had to go buy the materials to build a temporary fence until I can contact my landlord to let them know what has happened... which I wont be able to do til at least monday and even then, they arent easy to get hold of.

 

So that is what has kept me busy today, and now I am totally ehausted.  I was supposed to go and have a couple of drinks with my neigh bour this afternoon but I sat down to have a rest at about 3.30 and the next thing I knew it was 5.50 and I had a stiff neck from sleeping in a strange position.  But it was a good sleep, and I really needed it, obviously.

 

Dont worry, Ive rearranged with my neighbour and im going over tomorrow afternoon - if I dont fal asleep again lol.

 

So yeah, i am glad that mum did come to stay.  I dont know if I could have handled it all on my own.  Particularly being scared that I had lost my dog forever... Im just grateful she is here and ok.

 

I wasnt expecting to have to spend m pay on a new fence though, thats a bummer - it used up almost all of my pay, too.

 

Well, i hope everyone else weekend is going well, and I hope you all have a great sunday.

    Speaking of dogs getting lost. Matti's little friend Ethan's mum found a puppy at her door this morning, it was bailed up by her two cats lol. But anyway I saw it this afternoon and I really hope they get to keep it. It was skin and bone the poor thing. It must not have been walked much either because it's hind quarters had no muscle tone. It looked like it might be full of worms too. I hate seeing animals treated like this. She has the sweetest face too and a good nature to match. She deserves a home like my friend can give her, loved, fed, walked and regular vet visits. It was hard to even guess what bread she was because she was that skinny.

    So glad Izzy was a good girl and stayed close to the house. Hope you get on to landlord soon and get the fence fixed.

    yes, I am proud of her for being a good girl too. I hope that your friend can give the puppy a good home, it would be terribly sad if it had to return to a situation where it wasnt getting looked after properly. I absolutely hate to see animals suffering, and most of the time it is totally preventable. I think people who mistreat animals should have the same treatment metered out to them - see how they like being starved etc.
