Not sure where this should go, so please shuft it to wherever it should be Admin! lol!

I've been having a hard time recently, my health (mental and physical) has been on the downward turn, and I have closed myself off from everything.

I'm still not great, had a really bad week last week, but have decided that I really need to try and be a functioning member of society and 'man up' a little!

So, how is everyone? Hope all furries are good and behaving themselves?!

Piper has now gone to live with a friend of ours, the lady who had Bumble and Gertie off us when I first moved. Bumble passed away and Gertie was lonely, and as Piper was beating everyone up and having to live on her own, Jude offered to see if she and Gert would get on - they do at floor time, but have to be in separate side by side bedrooms as Piper has real issues about her own personal space! Gert seems happy to have window company, so all is tentatively good there!

Madam Lettuce - Lettie - is a huge character, and is ruling the household from her loft apartment! She even has a squeak just for the dogs, and plays with our young dog through the bars of her bedroom and at floor time - she is currently doing 'the bowl dance' - which is very similar to a rain dance, but with more kung fu moves and indignant squeaks!

Bluey had to go back to the vets again as she has a show of blood from time to time which our vet feels is probably linked to her seasons, she had a scan, and a myriad of tests, and it appears that she has something similar to hermaphroditism - she doesn't actually have male parts, but she has virtually no female hormones, and is sterile as well as her ovaries being cystic.
We have decided not to spay her at the moment as she is so well in herself (touch wood) and we have baytril in the cupboard for when she has this odd show of blood.

As she is sterile, with no chance of pregnancy, we have allowed her to bond with Theo whilst we wait and decide if we will have him done or not. They absolutely adore eachother, laying snuggled up and kissing etc, it really is lovely to see! They have been together 2months now, and Bluey has had a scan since they have been together to make absolutely sure she couldn't catch, and she is as barren as I am! (I've been spayed! haha!)

In other news, we have found a field a mile down the road from us, so have moved my old mare and Jo's rescue mare there, it has saved me having Melly here to snuggle - her mane is surprisingly absorbent and she doesn't mind me sobbing on her as long as I have sweeties in my pocket or she can munch a haynet!

Anyway, enough rambling from me, I'm sure you are all board to tears!

Ttfn all, xxxxx
 
Welcome back, sorry to hear you've not been so good. I wondered where you were, I do worry about people when they don't post for a while. This is not a good time of year for our health, it's far easier to fight to stay active and positive both mentally and physically when the weather is warm. This run of bad weather we are having is particularly bad as we really need to get out and I for one tend to cower in doors. Glad my furries are inside! Sounds like your animals are doing Okay you really are amazing to work out all the best compromises for their welfare, I sincerely hope you are well and truly on the up.
 
Sorry to hear you've been going through a bad patch . It's really nice to see you back .
 
Aww guys :-) It's cheered me up no end to have some replies!

@piggieminder, yes this weather doesn't help, but then Jo and I both have Fibromyalgia and the summer heat drains us, so its a fryingpan/fire situation! lol!

I think our animals have life completely cushy (she says from her seat on the floor as the collie x poodle looks down from the warm sofa!) our other dog is an elderly staffie, she is cuddled up on the other sofa in Jo's dressing gown, and 3 of the 4 cats are snuggled in our bed as we have just put the elec blanket on, and the other (the kitten) is in the radiator hammock!

Blue and Theo are snuggled up on their fleece covered shelf, and all I can see of Lettie is her rather round little bottom and 2 little fat feet poking out of her burger house.... spoilt, these guys, nahhhh!

Up is the only way to go, so up it shall be, hard work though! :blink:
