Mel I'm so glad you arrived safely the weather is pretty scary out there, I hope your keeping the penguin indoors for the moment. I hope you have a blast and don't worry Tia will be with you all the way :)

Tracy:
Just checking in to see how you are feeling today. Hope all is well, and your weather is better than ours. Ice pellets are coming down now, and snow tonite. It will be a white Christmas here I think. I am taking Tipper to the vet in the morning to get her leg looked at- taking him some candy as the girls said to bribe him!! Hope you are doing well friend. Blessings
Patti

Good Morning Tracy, hope you had a good sleep and your ready for Christmas Eve.... my cherries are dipped and I have nothing else to do tonight, which is good because it is already 10.30pm! 90 mins till Santa arrives!!

Mel, I knew all your goodies would arrive with all your organisation!! Now you just got to cook it all :D:D Hope Boycie loved his ride and is having fun!! xx

Tracy:
Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas, and hope you have some glimmer of happiness this holiday season as I know how you will be feeling. Blessings to you and sweet Woody in heaven.
Patti

Merry Christmas Tracy!

Hope your Xmas was good. Haven't been here much since my mate tommy passed and was so sorry to read about woody. Rest assured tommy and Tammy are keeping him amused!!!! God bless them all

Hi Tracy

Hope your Christmas is going OK, I would say save a piece of that gateaux for me but honestly I think I will pop if I eat any more. I am sure your dear family will be joining you in remembering Woody today. BIG CHRISTMAS HUGS FOR YOU xxxx

Tracy:
Sending you love and huge hugs on this special day. I hope you get through it all ok, as I am sure your family will help you celebrate dear Woody's life. God Bless You
Patti

Thanks everyone, I,ve made it through most of today but Woody hasn,t been far from my thoughts, like most days. I did get Murphy cuddles which is my brothers dog, he wouldn,t leave my side most of the day he also got all woodys Christmas toys that the family bought and he never got a chance to play with them, maybe that will make up for Woody shredding his the other week :)

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas :)

Many hugs, Tracy!

Sending you hugs and christmas wishes.

Hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Tracy:
Sending you many hugs from Tipper and I . This first Christmas will be the hardest. I hope you enjoyed your family and ate that wonderful cake of your sisters that I am still thinking about. Blessings
Patti

I'm so sorry about Woody, Tracy. I only just got the news, because I haven't been on the forum for a while.

I feel like I got to know Woody from your stories, pictures and videos, and I'm grieving for him, too. What an amazing little dog he was. I think it was so brave how he kept on being his exhuberant little self, right up until he just couldn't anymore.

For what it's worth, I think all of your decisions were just right, all the best care to keep him going while he could still enjoy life, and a merciful end when there was nothing but pain and suffering ahead for him.

Hey Tracy

My internet has been shocking cause of all this weather! I heard you guys were getting 80 mph winds and blizzards, I hope you are staying warm and have power?

Just wanted to nip in while I can to say I am thinking of you and you boy and I hope you are doing as ok as you can be

Mel
Xxxxx

Hi Mel

Good to hear from you, I,m doing ok? The winds up here are shocking but we still have power, got loads of candles and a gas heater just incase :) We,re not as bad as some down south, with their flooding and no power I hope your not in any of the areas hit with it.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas. :)

Morning Tracy!

Ohhhh you ate loads :D:D:D glad you got loads of doggie cuddles even though it was not your boy... hope Murphy appreciates those toys he inherited! A friend and me are off to our massive hardware/garden centre store to check out the sales, but will be in later on... most likely you morning :) Have a good sleep xx

Eeek, hope you don't lose power Tracy!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Tracy:
I bet those winds were something. I am hoping you still have power. I am glad the holidays are going to be over soon, and you probably are too. At least you got to eats lots of goodies. We are to get weather in the 40's this weekend so Tipper can finally go out. She has been very naughty and bored, and she does not hesitate to let you know about it. She figures if she is miserable she going to make you miserable too!. Hope her leg holds up so she can walk. If not she will be back under house arrest. Hope you got to bring some goodies home so you do not have to cook. Blessings
Patti

Hi Tracy

How's it going? I am having a day of cleaning then out for curry tonight with a crowd of friends!! Flynny sends you a kiss -> x :)

Hi Trish I,m not to bad, weather is a bit mental the last few days and we had no power most of today, but its back on so hopefully it will stay on this time. Once your finished your cleaning you can always come here and do mine I,ve been very lazy doing mine :D Tell Flynn thanks for the Kisses much appreciated :) Enjoy your curry xx

Sorry it's late - I've just seen the sad news and wanted to tell you how very sorry I was to hear about Woody.

Yes, well I wrote about the cleaning an hour and a half ago, nothing done yet :D:D honestly, I think if I came to visit you it would be stuff the cleaning! First we would have to go hunt down Mel at her holiday house then have a great time chatting over girlie drinks down at the pub!!!

pffft I've been meaning to clean my closet for the longest time! I don't know how it gets to be such a mess. I swear, really, not a clue. :) :)

Did someone say girly drinks! :) I'm all about the Bellini's these days. YUM.

Hope you are all staying safe and dry
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Your right Trish there would be no work done, it would be all chatter and drink. :D Is Mel holiday place far from her home

Sharlene get you all posh with the Bellini,s there very expensive here in Scotland but yip very yummy I,m out for dinner tomorrow night at a posh restaurant why I,m going I,ve no idea cause I,m far from posh but I may need to have a Bellini now that you,ve mentioned it.:D

I have never had a Bellini, might be on the lookout for one now. I had a cocktail last week a hmmmm "something Ginger", had white rum, ginger beer and loads of ice, mint and limes and right at the bottom was sugar so when you sipped on the straw you got a little crunch! Was delish! Our restaurant tonight is not posh at all, all decked in Indian décor, BYO wine etc... Loud and lots of fun :D

I don't know where her holiday house is... we would have to wait until dark and then follow the penguin beams!! :D

That sounds more like my kind of place Trish, but never had a Bellini gosh girl you don,t know what your missing. :eek: You will need to rectify that in the new year.

Has Flynn,s tummy settled down now

eh a little posh never hurt anyone. Go out, enjoy the evening, have a good time! You really do deserve a little umph after the year you've had! I'd take you myself if I lived closer.

Oh that drink sounds lovely Trish. Maybe one to try out.

I bought an industrial strength blender for myself this fall, and I'm going to figure out how to make those bellini's at home. Cheaper I'm sure! LOL Actually I told the hubster it was his mission to figure it out and make me some. LOL Now I just have to start trying out recipes. Might be a bit of a mush on the forum when I start that.
No worries though I'm a giggle drinker not a mean one. :) Hubs says I love Everyone and think everyone is just great when I drink. Have to be careful about that, a friend and myself once called a radio station (the popular rock station) in Honolulu and invited everyone over after a game of spoons one night. (we were younger then) LOL

ohhhh, penguin beams!!!!

Yowser did you guys hear about the "Spirit of Mawson" expedition, now stuck in ice in the Antarctic? First ice crusher from China has also encountered heavy ice and can't reach them, waiting on the French and Australian ice crushers to show up and work together to free them. I can go down a million different paths in a conversation! LOLOLOLOL

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene - Sorry but you crack me up with that post. Here you can buy the bottle of Bellini mix and you just add the champers to it with a strawberry of course.:D

Get Out!! (Elaine from Seinfeld quote there, if you don't know that one, google for a giggle)
You can get the mix?! No way, I've never seen the mix here, I'd be all over it I'm sure. LOL (stocking up in the basement) Well, hmmpphhh, now I'm off to google and see if i can find the mixer. (course there goes the fun of trying all the recipes and getting sloshed, hahahaha) Still the blender is necessary to get the mushy ice!!

On a mission now!
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

HaHA yes nothing wrong with posh!! I quite like it :D:D

Ohhh that ship is on our news all the time Sharlene, there are a few kiwis onboard and the ship is based here http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/south-p...pedition-stuck

Sharlene, we were in a fancy kitchen supply store yesterday and I saw this cake mixer... I am in lurvvvvvvvvvvvvvve!! I want it, but it was $1185, told my friend she could buy it for my birthday :D :D... not blardy likely she said... you only bake about six cakes a year if we're lucky hahahaha.... I told her I would bake way more if I had that beautiful blue cake mixer!!! I did see fancy blenders too.... I blew my last one up putting hot soup in the glass bit :mad: so perhaps I need industrial strength too!!

Tracy - I think he is just a bit off because of his tummy, mucousy again this morning but formed. So I think his tummy is inflamed again and that makes him feel a bit crook. I have emailed Mike this morning but bet he is flat out with the sick holiday dogs and being the only vet there. Poor boy was just in his bed and I went and pulled all his blankies out from under him to put in the wash... he gave me "the look"

Oh you bad mother !!! Hopefully it will settle down with time and he will be back to normal in no time.

I must go google this ship that you and Sharlene are talking about, I don,t watch the news (enough doom and gloom in my life lol).

Ok so I have procrastinated myself out of the cleaning other than some laundry!! Gotta have clean clothes, so I am fixing my cloud so I can take more photos... what a awful job I have to resize all my pics, putting them into albums and deleting the bad ones. I just put one in our album of my new pet!! Thought you might like to see :D

Oh my goddness its a big pussy cat, please tell me it was sedated, it looks gorgeous but scary none the less.:eek:

Does Flynn know about this????!!! Lordy he is a big'un. ROFL
But oh so regal and cute, can they be both? Yes they can!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Don't think they were sedated, they walked around a lot. It is about 6 years ago on a holiday in Thailand. It is a tiger sanctuary run by Buddhist monks. I saw a docu on Discovery about it. It was such an interesting visit. I think the tigers had to sit with the tourists to raise money to keep the place going. There were tons of handlers about and you had to sit, just so... it certainly was a mind blowing experience to get that close to them!

Oh I remember watching a tv programme about that years ago, afraid I still couldn,t do it :rolleyes:

Good to catch up with you Trish but its bed time for me as its past midnight here, and you,ve got the housework to do well at least the laundry, have a super night out tonight :D

I just looked at the time and realised how late it was for you and was about to suggest BED!! I will be out having my curry when your getting up for breakfast so might see you late tonight when I get home!! Have a good sleep Tracy and I wish you Woody Dreams xxxx

That sounds AWESOME!
The craziest thing that I've done is hold a cobra while in Egypt. Mom flipped when I showed her the picture. I was the only tourist who would do it :)

Hi Tracy

Sorry to read you have not had a good day, I guess that is going to continue for a while up and down like that with your emotions. Entirely normal too :o You just got to ride the waves until they hopefully settle down but that all takes time. So be kind to yourself and eat cake and sleep :D Hopefully see you tonight as I had an early night last night and was not on here much xx
