Re: If I'm not around tomorrow evening


Ouch! Actually, my next door neighbour said the same - she knew better than to intervene when her little terrier bitch went for a couple of lurchers that were being walked past her gate and one got the terrier by the throat. There was such screaming and going on that I went to see what was going on and ended up craddling the bleeding terrier in my arms whilst my neighbour went to get the car to take the dog to the vet. The two women who were walking the lurchers (again neighbours) were more than useless - probably both in shock. No one else came near. My neighbour is a sensible woman well used to animals of all sorts and said she couldn't help wading in - her bitch was in danger. All ended OK I'm glad to say.

Re: If I'm not around tomorrow evening


Exactly! My boy was being attacked by that huge tom and I never stopped to think!
And besides, who has a bucket of water handy?

Incidentally, apologies to Merlin for even thinking he would do anything other than white magic! Mea culpa!

Sorry. Latin: My Fault. I was raised Catholic and forget sometimes that everyone didn't have Latin in school...

Although not a Catholic, I attended a convent for 11 years. I do remember Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! They're great ones for fault, those Catholics.

I have asked Merlin to forgive you and he says he will think about that too! (He thinks an awful lot these days - but doesn't DO an awful lot!)

Re: If I'm not around tomorrow evening


It's not happening, the whole front claw thing is just not going to be clipped any time soon.
She went spare last night, thrashing around like a wild thing, so I just let her be. This afternoon we tried again, she is not having any of it, she is making it hard to get her claws by pulling then in tight , growling, hissing, spitting and Graham is now testament to the fact that she has a lovey set of gnashers
