My laburnum is so in flower it can be seen from space….
Well that’s a lie, but it can be seen from the lane window
Which pleases me.
Roger has been affected badly from Mary’s “ final” and sudden being in season…it has now necessitated Mary’s immediate relocation to Trendy Carol’s house. Roger has now humped three cushions , my stuffed chameleon , Mrs Trellis’s red felt lobster and has attempted to mount Weaver with disastrous results
Oh lord
Help us
It is visible from Your Space.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Roger...
Jesus!

Uh-oh. So neither Mary nor Roger is "fixed"? The next weeks will be "interesting" in the most chaotic meaning of that term. Good luck with all that entails!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Teenage hormones have a lot to answer for!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be able to see your laburnum from your cottage. A wonderful splash of yellow. xx
He’s 5
DeleteIf he's like that at 5, you've got a few years of him humping everything in sight to come! Oh Lord, indeed! xx
DeleteThe view out to your laburnum is so glorious, so perfectly Spring. I bet the air smells so fresh and sweet.
ReplyDeleteTMI, You do not have your pets neutered?
A May December relationship.
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Roger. Oh, poor Weaver!
ReplyDeleteOh, Roger, you horny boy. Weaver will knock some sense into him!
ReplyDeletePerhaps Weaver will knock some sense into dear Roger in a way that he will understand and remember. In the meantime, I'm going to light a candle for you.

Why not desexed?
ReplyDeleteWith Mary staying at Trendy Carol's house for a holiday, that should calm things for Roger. The question remains, will Weaver require a holiday placement as well?
ReplyDeleteOh my! Sounds like quite the day at the cottage! Hope Roger has settled down, and Weaver is not overly traumatized.
ReplyDeleteWhy have I never planted a Laburnum??? I chastise myself.
ReplyDeleteChaos and confusion in the cottage! Trendy Carol to the rescue.
ReplyDeleteI am very surprised that dogs and cats are not neutered here in Wales. We had to push the vet to neuter our puppies after their first heats. It seems to be a choice between being cruel to the animal or risk overpopulation with unwanted litters. And didn’t Winnie suffer from something because she wasn’t neutered? Should we expect kittens in the Grey menagerie?

Tje cats are neutered
DeleteAh yes, the perils of not having pets neutered. This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteLaburnums have been called 'golden chains' or 'golden rain' in the past - and symbolise life and it's fluctations, very appropriate for a tree in a churchyard, and which is pretty but has poisonous seeds. In the Victorian language of flowers the laburnum means pensive, and the very hard wood has been used as a substitute for ebony - and to make bagpipes! Writers as varied as JRR Tolkien and Francis Thompson have been inspired by the laburnum, and it's use as poison features in Daphne du Maurier's My Cousin Rachel. So your tree is far more than 'just' another tree! And to be able to admire it from your cottage window is more than special.
Spring has sprung!
ReplyDeleteSpay and neuter, it helps prevent cancer in their private parts. It is far from cruel to the pet. There are far too many unwanted cats and dogs running around, which is cruel.
ReplyDeleteOur neutered dog occasionally gets over-excited, and attempts to hump one of our neutered boy cats. The cat submits with good grace and wriggles out from under with a look of disdain.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, our border collie Sophie had a last unexpected season when we lived on the farm in Oxfordshire. She was an absolute hussy and anytime she managed to get out of our house she kept trotting up to our landlords farmhouse a mile away to fawn over his black Labradors ... luckily they were both fixed, so her efforts were in vain.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, before we got our long-haired Chihuahua spayed, we would find a little dog at our screen door anxiously wanting to "visit". We lived in the country and later found out he lived about a mile and a half away. Pheromones are powerful things, it seems.
