Feeding Time!

meanwhile in Norwich the last scraps are being consumed, annoyingly I missed the full bird – again!

But I think Nottingham wins for chicks nearest fledging.

If I’m very lucky I’ll get home tonight and mine will have been delivered, I went for an Oxford BBQ cast iron one via amazon as the one on the lst page was out of stock (even though it showed in stock grumble grumble…)

I shall repoort my first impressions.

DAMN YOU CRAPPY WORK COMPUTERS!!! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!! 👿

Def +1 to the stimulation thing, that’s another place where a good training regime can be a real benefit, if he wants attention, you can make him to a few things and then give a treat. One of those things can be to Stay, and not go until you release him (more tension if you throw his toy out of the room first). Just don’t forget you put him on stay!

And there was me at risk of buckling to some lunch on my fasting day.

STW, once again you have been of great assistance!

*I would add we feed dry food, and get much the same effect, and also no dog breath, I would never feed tinned food to a dog unless there was a definite medical reason.

meh… I was always like that.

I’m allergic to dogs + asthmatic… Angus sleeps in my room, and often starts the night next to me on the bed while I geek on the laptop. Good outweighs the snotiness and occasional itching for me. Find a good antihystermine and keep up with inhalers and its all fine. 😀

Its great on BBQ lamb, toss chicken in it for a wrap, toss pasta in it. Spread it bread and make a cheese sandwich…

But yeah, moderation, mornings and early afternoon unless feasting, wanting to stay up late…

PSA

Wild Garlic Pesto w/ chili

200g Wild garlic leaves (washed + dried)
50 – 80g chopped red chilies (seeds in unless you are a feeble wuss) 😉
2tsp salt
200-250 ml rapeseed oil

blend like a mother ****

You will thank me. A flavoursome and spicey sauce that enhances… Everything!

Jumping up is an easy thing to sort.

I think for your situation older dog is the better fit. He is ready to start training which will in itself help forge the bond between you as a ‘pack’, and will still need a fair bit of activity for the next three months, but this can be done in bursts of play and he will learn your routine pretty quickly, and then sleep during your work slots.

Jumping is fixed by turning your back on him and ignoring him when he does it, and then turn back when all four paws back on the ground. Angus now gets so excited but is near religious in his keeping paws on the ground. Dogs have been bred to crave our attention so denying it to them is the best sort of rebuke, telling the dog off/shouting/”NO”, while useful sometimes, is still a form of attention so best used minimally and not for stuff like this. You will need to make sure the kids stick to it as well. We didn’t enforce a strict jumping up ban with last dog (Cos i was a kid thought it fun) and it was a pain – needs to be 100%!

But he looks a fine hound, short glossy coat so not as mucky as a long haired fluffy beast…

I just got home, Angus rang rings around me with his excitement overspilling as a high pitch noise. Then he had to pick things up to bring them to me, raggy toy, both my garden gloves, but its too much to pick up in one mouth easily so I have to wait while he shuffles it al along the floor trying to get it in, then he manages it and its laps of Unk for another 5 minutes. I was gone 3hrs.

I love my hound.

There is a far more hardcore one though, “Cyclists who ride in grouds should stay in single file!!!! [sic]” with a very calming and tasteful profile pic.

scrap that, its quite dormant.

awwww i was enjoying that… he’s already resort to internet shouting. 😈

I prefer to be a non bloody cyclist, but I wear my blood with pride when it happens! 😉

I’m already under the bed, and I object to your immigrating to here. I don’t know you. Under the bed is full, go back where you came from!!!

Saw that, loved it!

Please please please do the SDL paint their faces blue and white?????

“I’d love to see a mosque being built in Mecca”

And this ladies and gentlemen, and the other pearlers in that video, are why I am a keen fan of free speech…

without replacing the bike, I wouldn’t bother changing much. Easier to shed weight from you, get a few more rides in without mates, do some hill training…

there are spikey balls???

Oh now I just want to look inside my tyres!

Cold War Kids new album “Dear Miss Lonely Hearts”

Ooooooh!!!!

Jeff Buckley – Grace… which reminds me

Some way back I missed my 5th one because I knew there was one I hadn’t thought of.

Now i have.

5 – Jeff Buckley.

I think we have a winner!

Cheers Muddy, looks like they’ve all gone, and a bit too tall for our yards I think.

Oooooh, that looks a little better and sturdier than the ones on amazon. Ohhh choices choices…

Muddydwarf

where d’ya get it.* I’d rather not quite that tall, looking at a 70 pound one by Oxford BBQ at the moment.

Anyone got one with the BBQ grill? something you use or pointless distraction? Its removeable which appeals.

*read more of the thread, 1st time round got distracted by pictures…

Damn you all…

cast iron you say, anyone know a good place to get one? I’d prefer not to spend too much but you’ve talked me into it…

More anti-Cameron press I suspect, he’s not anti Europe enough and he’s pro gay marriage. The Tory heartland seem to be in apoplectic kneejerk meltdown. I predict a continued effort to remove him as leader in the months to come.

it is coming

I hope you took the time to tell him he’s was amongst the worst kind of ****.

😆

true though… you are.

but yeah superstar Excels are the loveliest thing my hands ever knew.

Tell your friend he’s wrong and Penmachno is better. Unless he likes ‘trail centres’ [motorway] over trail[trail]. In which case he may well be happier at llandegla.

My advice would be ditch Llandegla, ride Penmachno…

wind it halfway, then a few clicks fasterslower

this isn’t me saying iainc is wrong, merely highlighting how riding style usual terrain and bike can change what works for one person to another. Mid point is usually a good starting place. from there trial and error, just be aware how many clicks in you are, while you muck about. If it feels good, count the clicks to lowest/highest point. And write it down, we all think we’ll remember, then its 12 months later and you haven’t a clue where the sweet spot was. for example, in sweet spot now with my Lyrik, but now I type this, no idea where that sweet spot actually is…

I’m gonna come back with my 5th once I’ve thought about it.

Dig it all up and grow tasty things instead, or have a meadow!!!

My BiL is a really nice bloke, but should never ever be allowed the TV remote.

Also, Globalti, to some extent that’s your wife problem, she should suck it up and accept a compromise. Easy for me, here, to say i know, but that’s not a good way for things to be.
