Our general chit-chat thread!

The Lyrid meteor shower peaks tonight!
The Lyrids are best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere during the dark hours (after moonset and before dawn).

Just a reminder at this time of year, when lambs are growing up in the fields, do take care with your dog or other people’s, and be mindful when out walking.

When walkies aren’t quite enough. Would you use a treadmill with a dog? Maybe for a mud free home? Perhaps the dog’s energy could generate electricity in the home?

Is this a bright idea, a lightbulb moment or just a flash in the pan, gimmick?

Love me slender? Or Return to Sender?

Looking for a chain / train reaction?

Didn’t know we have a Scottish connection Jenny!
Just finished 6 weeks of 3 different sits in Edinburgh
Not for the first time and hopefully not the last :scotland:

Lovely! What a great spot to focus on!

My focus is the Cotswolds.

Luna takes her daily dental stick very seriously indeed!

Hello all, just signed up and look forward to caring after pets and their homes. I love to travel and I love animals, sounds like a win win. I just returned from Paris and did endure in many croissants.

Welcome to the Forum @Your.dogs.bestie :blush: glad to have you here! Where did you get your best croissant from? Did you do much sightseeing?

I am on my 35 animal sit in a small village where I have sat in 3 different houses.

I was out collecting eggs from the hens at same time when I knew the fish van was due, a highlight of my trips here.

I took the 2 Spaniel dogs with me and had already left gate open so van driver could get in. I saw the van reversing in, doors open, so used whistle to call the 2 dogs back to me.(for safety) But…no sign of them. Oh well, they are well trained, they won’t be far away.

I stepped into van purse in hand ready to purchase my Prawns.

Fishman was stood behind counter but he wasn’t alone! There they both were, the 2 dogs at his feet. The guy was giving them treats​:sweat_smile:.

I am guessing this is a regular occurrence. I will know for next Wednesday!!

Photo of the dogs in my car ready for an earlier adventure, and lying zonked out after having dined on whatever he gave them. A tummy full of fish!

Picture of van an old one from a previous winter sit.

Would love to have a fish van come down our street in the US. I remember the ice cream truck when I was a kid but that’s it.
