Dorothy was quite badly behaved for my sister over the weekend . Picking fights with her dog, peeing and pooing. Demanding attention . I doubt she will be asked back.
High Maintenance is the phrase she used.
Hey ho.
Its a soup day today .
Cold and bracing
Butter bean, chorizo and garlic soup , extra thick by adding a potato… is heating in the slow cooker
I shopped, caught up with Nu by phone and listened to the new ABBA album in the car
Comic con and London seem a long way away today .
My Thatch is quite a hand full too John-he has been my boy for over 3 years but he is certainly a handful I've had 4 private sessions and 12 one to ones with a dog charity but they did say there was only so much they could teach me-It's really mainly u turns if the darling gets too stressed-she said a lot of people would have returned him-previously he lived outside with lots of other dogs and fed scraps-He only had one stone for a toy I believe as he has a favourite one which he found with a face that he hides-he wees and poos regularly indoors-bless him-he is soo embarrassing though x

DeleteMy Thatch is quite a hand full too John-”
That took me by surprise
I didn't name any of my 4-they are rescues-I have a nervous tich too who is not small and panics when a large dog approaches x
Deleteflis, what is a tich, please?
DeleteHello Lizzy-he's my handsome romanian monkey boy-I'm not sure which breed-looks a bit translayvanian hound(they called him tich as he was the smallest of the litter abandoned in a field in the snow)x
DeleteSounds like Dorothy was suffering from separation anxiety and was acting out! Sad that she is so anxious when away from you!
ReplyDeleteI made a delicious butternut squash soup on Saturday! So yummy!!
Yes, she suffers badly with it. But tends to be ok during the day at trendy carol’s
DeleteAll divas are high maintenance.
ReplyDeleteAin’t THAT the truth x
DeleteGood to read you much more up beat John - you have had a rough few weeks with various ailments but you really sound as though you have recovered.
ReplyDeleteWatch this space x
DeletePoor Dorothy was obviously missing you and getting stressed. I do hope your sister will have her back again, though. You made some lovely memories in London. I'm sure that won't be the last outing with your nephew. xx
ReplyDeleteI’m sure she will help out again x
DeleteDont ever remember using the word high maintenance but did say it must be exhausting being her ! She did keep insisting on sitting on my knee though while looking down at Ozzy growling at him..its no wonder he snapped when she tried to get into bed with us ! Poor girl ...hard to know what to do with her x
ReplyDeleteShe follows me to the toilet
DeleteI think most dogs and cats do that ... They have to keep tabs on what we are doing and don't you dare shut the door! LOL My Pug and then my Maine Coon cat all had to watch me pee or whatever!
DeleteSorry to hear that Dorothy wasn't a stellar guest but know from her history it's not all her fault. Some of us cannot dump damaging history be they human or dog.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you'll have Leo to the cottage some time in the future or plan some other wonderful meet-up elsewhere.
Love the Abba song! Ta.
Am glad you're home and are making wonderful soup today. Wishing you a good recovery from a busy weekend!
Hugs!
I’ve said I will go with him to comic con next year
DeleteAnd I will give him an open invitation to visit here anytime
Sorry, abba is not now, nor have they ever been on my playlist.
ReplyDelete10 tracks 5 good songs
DeleteIt's a shame Dorothy isn't an easy guest. I actually love the new ABBA album. I have listened to it quite a few times and have found that it has grown on me.
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn’t be a surprise , she’s bloody hard work for me
DeleteTony bought the ABBA album for me last week and it's absolutely gorgeous. I do love the track you have shared.
ReplyDeleteI love I still have faith too
DeleteIt sounds like Dorothy might need someone to come stay with her at your home. In her own home with her person, I suspect she would be okay. Poor Dorothy has a previous life and this life is potentially responsible for her issues. ABBA produces good music.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Ruth often comes and stays with the girls. She couldn’t make it this weekend
DeleteThanks for the music, but not ok with the behavioral report. Have you got someone who could come in?
ReplyDeleteSee above xx
DeletePoor Dorothy! She was obviously upset with your absence! I haven't listened to the new ABBA yet. I'm afraid to be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteHalf of it is very good Steve
DeleteOh dear ☹️ Poor Dorothy, she is an anxious girl. I’m sad she was a difficult guest too, your sister can’t have had a relaxed time with her there either. I’m glad the London trip was otherwise a success.
ReplyDeleteNo, her dog Ozzie is a laid back chap
DeleteFrom all the stories you’ve told, Dorothy is obviously high maintenance. Your poor sister! Do you like the new ABBA album?
