Met long-time-no-post Jay on the bus briefly tonight. She only gets access to internet at library and too busy with her email for us (huh)!!

Seriously, she does miss POL and sends her best wishes.

Give her our regards if you have the pleasure to meet her again

Pah!

That's just not good enough, I'm afraid. You should have got her told in no uncertain terms to get back on here pronto.

Jay was responsible for my favourite thread title ever on here.

remember this?

Funnily enuff, I was thinking about that dog the other day for some reason!

That thread must have been before my (POL) time. I enjoyed reading it and I knew about the dog, one of my friends used to throw it's ball back to it. Not sure if it still stays there or not..................will find out

This will sound a bit (

) daft but that story made me so sad for the dog...

It had a plastic ball in it's mouth which it placed very carefully on the cope and then nudged very gently, with it's nose, forward towards the people standing in the queue.

The ball then rolled very slowly until it fell off onto the pavement. The dog looked in anticipation at those at the bus stop, but no-one picked it up and threw it back over! As we drew away the dog looked totally gutted.

If anyone sees a plastic ball in the gutter on Joppa Road next to a bus stop, please throw it back over so the dog can start the weekend happy too.

I loved this story about the dog

But felt sorry for it too - dogs have feelings you know.

I'm just joshing. I love doggies.

As for the riddle, I just thought that maybe she thought her sister was a huge pain in the butt and deserved to die.

or something.

Our dog, Noosa, became ill early last Thursday morning and we had to let the vet put her to sleep. So we've all been feeling a bit sad here since then as she was a great dog and a great friend.We still expect to see her when we get up in the morning and for her to tell us it's time to make a cup of tea so that she can have a biscuit or two or more!!! The house is so empty without her in it!!

Wondered where you'd been, A. Not a lot one can say, but extend sympathy.

Sorry to hear that Arachnid

So sorry to hear that, Arachnid, I just dread the day that something happens to Freddie, he's thirteen now so I can't help thinking about it and getting morbid at times. They are just such a huge part of your lives.

You must have loads of happy memories though to help you through this sad time.

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 27 Apr 2006, 22:46

That's such sad news, A.

Thought you'd been a bit quiet recently.

Freddie is one of my first and very happy memories of moving to Portobello - used to smile when he appeared on his stick legs on the Prom like a clockwork toy. Little did I know I'd get to know his mummy via the 'net!!

Arachnid sorry to hear about your dog, its true they are just part of the family, my sympathies are with you.

I had a quick chat with Freddie earlier tonight on the Prom. He's gorgeous.

Next time I see him I'm gonna tell him what you said about his clockwork legs.

Doncha just love his ears flapping as he clockworks along (has no knees, you know!

). For a dog, he's not bad.

That's what I mean about the clockwork legs - my bro had a similar dog once and he agrees!!!
