Malaika was a bit grumpy for some reason and had to go have a lie down in the car

She was much better after and met with two of her sisters and brother as well as various half siblings and dad. Kwame met his half brother and mum and was attacked by both :O He certainly recognised his breeder and was very excited to see her.
The only bad bit was a remark i overheard about us. Another breeder asked Kwame's breeder if we were going to show him, when she replied no i heard her say loudly "What a waste !" I replied no it's not he has a great home but wish realy i'd thought of something better to say .

I think your reply was perfect, showing is only a small percentage of life and a good home far outweighs a few shows.

But you could have said "B*gger *ff"

obviously you are more refined than me.I might have pulled my tongue out too.

She deserved for me to say something stronger to be honest, i wish Kwame's breeder had said something.
I bet our dogs have a much better life than hers anyway but i wouldn't be so rude to say anything to her. Hope she gets a great big boil on the end of her nose

CS, loved the pics! Shelley, Kwame may be a great specimen of his breed but not everyone is into showing, as that rude woman should know, he has a happy loving home which I'm sure he'd prefer if he had a choice!

thanks Eileen and Karen, it did upset me as well as making me mad.

"Consider the source", as they used to tell us in school when someone made an unkind remark .....

Now that I'm able to have a normal diet, I haven't made any vegetable soup for the last 2 weeks. Today OH asked if I could please make some as he's really missed it lately! I thought he'd be getting sick of it

Anyway,I made a big pot of it and it looks as though we're back to having it for lunch for the next few days at least. Oh well, it's cheap, healthy, low-fat and low calorie and to tell the truth we both still have a fair few pounds to shed

Morgan hasn't been getting groomed as much as usual lately so this morning I settled him on the table for a good "do". Poor lamb had developed a few knots but he was very patient and the detangler solution helped hugely, so he's now tidy again and more comfortable, fortunately I didn't have to resort to cutting any of the knots out, just teased them away.

Rotten cold, wet, windy day brrr! I'm tempted to put some heating on this evening!

MrsH it must be great to eat normally again! But that was a nice compliment to your cooking when OH asked for "more"!
