Lesley Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I hope today goes well for you Mel - just think how much happier Minky is going to be. Have that glass of wine later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks Lesley if you insist I am feeling quite positive this morning (although my eyes are puffy ) although I think as the day wears on it will get harder - I am "working at home" this morning, and then off to Weymouth for appointments - but I really cant be bothered to do anything Give Jazz a big kiss for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I will - she's off to the vet at 2pm for her microchip. The practice nurse will be in hiding, thinking we've brought yet another cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Lesley - did you ever think a year or two ago that you would agree to KISSING a dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 - I said 'Yes' - what I meant was 'I will be delegating this job to Carl' And, she still hasn't been up on the bed - or in the bedroom - or on the furniture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Good for you - that's the way it should be really. We have had the woggles up on the sofa for a few cuddles recently but they only get up when we invite them. (apart from Blue who is normally on the look out for any half finished glasses of wine - fat chance!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 At least he has taste - Jazz steals socks or potatoes on her way through the utility room. She's so adept at it that we don't realise until we find the odd sock outside the chicken run or a well chewed potato on the doorstep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi Mel, I've been following your story about Minky and you are definately doing the right thing.As difficult as it is. I have a toy poodle, very spoilt! and I know if he had to go and share his attention he would I'm sure be like Minky.I hope you get to hear how he's settled.you'll see it will all work out fine, lifes strange at times!Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks Mandy it IS a difficult decision - specially when he sits there and acts cute but we want him to be 100% happy 100% of the time - and at the moment he is probably only 75% happy. He really needs someone to give him all the attention he needs and craves. We have packed his "suitecase" and he has lots of toys and treats etc., and we have been sleeping with one of the soft toys so it smells of us for a while so he will hopefully settle more quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Mel, just to add my good wishes for you today. It's bound to be difficult for you. I do hope that it all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks guys Well it was HORRIBLE - tears all round He has gone to a new home already - in Bournemouth - a retired chap apparently - I hope that he is happy. The place is very quiet without him but Charlie and Blue already seem more settled and if we were able to have a decent nights sleep rather than thinking about Mink then we would have an uninteruppted night Thanks again to all of you. I still find it difficult to think / talk about it and we may have just a LITTLE too much wine over the weekend so the diet is starting agian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
