Doggie Bread
Deciding I'd had enough of seeing the dried up cow knuckle in the loungeroom which the girls had lost interest in, I picked it up and decided to throw it outside, knowing that once it's been out there gathering muck and nature, Cleo will regain interest in it. As I'm about to throw it out … Continue reading Doggie Bread
“Do you hate fat people?”
I've always admired Michelle Bridge because of what she's done on Australia's Biggest Loser, but watching a teaser for an article on 60 Minutes, something was said that affected me just now without me realising I could still be that sensitive. I don't know if it was taken out of context as there were … Continue reading “Do you hate fat people?”
I’m not that hungry
Whining sound to my left. I look down and Cleo's giving me a sad face. "You want toilet Cleo?" Still sad face *Sigh* "Ok, I'll let you out." I walk to the back door and turn around. Cleo's not there. She followed me in the loungeroom, and through the kitchen.. where'd she go? I peek … Continue reading I’m not that hungry

t 28th April 17 I give rats a spoonful of curried mince with rice, and before I had a chance to tip into their bowl, the rats are all over it like me when someone offers me a plate of cookies, "I'll have that one and that one and that one and oh.. that one.." … Continue reading Animal Antics: 28th April – 16th May
Mummy’s Little Helper
Whilst in the bedroom, I decide, despite it being late afternoon, to fold up the blanket and place it on my chair neatly. So I have the blanket spread in my outreached arms as I look for the corners to start folding. At that moment, I spy Cleo walk in and decided to play on … Continue reading Mummy’s Little Helper
