He was a cat Maddy. Prevention isn't an option.

Here's a pic taken by me 3 years ago. Dexter is a big cat now.

We Brits love Thanksgiving.

We give thanks for getting rid of those darned pilgrims.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Don't be silly, Maddy. Nobody would ever call you 'good'.

 

Darn! No wonder I never post on this thread. The individual 'reply' buttons have disappeared from my screen. I only see the one at the bottom.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Hey! I think Maddy and her pal have been Christmas shopping!

Hope there's something in there for us!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Oh yes Val, you don't speak English well.

Whereas nous parles le francais com les professionals!:smileyhappy:

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Keep the noise down Maddy!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

It's just drizzling here, Val.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Maddy! How dare you be so insulting?

Gordon's gin, me?

It's Bombay Sapphire or nothing!

My peke is cuter than your peak!

Grrr! This brings on my pique of the week!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Here he is, Hippie, Peke of the week.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

So glad she's okay Val. You remain in my thoughts sweetie.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Our thoughts are with you Val. Hugs you tight.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

I always said you were a classy lady, Maddy.

(Why is my nose growing?)

Hump day? Isn't that something to do with camels?

I remember the guys used to sing this song at the rugby club when I was younger (don't look Val, it's too mucky for your sensitive eyes).

The sexual life of the camel
Is stranger than anyone thinks
At the height of the mating season
He tries to bugger the Sphinx
But the Sphinx's posterior orifice
Is filled with the sands of the Nile
Which accounts for the hump on the camel
And the Sphinx's inscrutable smile.

(Sung to the tune of the Eton College Boating Song. But you all knew that)

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Nah, Hippy, that's no good.

I know what Val needs...

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Happy birthday Val!!

Biiiig birthday hug comin' accross the Pond

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Mind you don't pick any toadstools Val!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

This thread just gets sillier. cats, dogs, mice, pumpkins.

What about something more meaningful?

Like Aardvarks.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

There you go again Val, Panda'ing to my emotions.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Stealing walnuts from a squirrel. How could you!

Here's a pretty one I found in Northern California a couple of weeks ago. Look at the lovely colouring.

Hi All

Haven't been in touch as I'm on vacation. Just wandered north from San Francisco and am now in lovely Oregon. Bit worried about the next state, though, as it begins with 'W' and I know Maddy lurks in one of them...

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Keep the noise down you two!

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]

Oh do stop being so darned cheerful Maddy.

[Where are all my friends? Come on in and lets get comfy by the fire!]
