The kitten is in her carrier when I bring her in, so she’s safe and I don’t leave her on her own at all. I’ll have to build it up as I’ve been putting it off.

Yeah, lurcher. Kitten turned up during a storm a few months ago and we bonded, she’s been safely in the back-room but the dogs have been here for years before she arrived. Not ideal, I’m holding out hope I can take it slowly and make it work. I know it’s a challenge, though.

Thank you. I’m going to just have to be a little braver while still keeping the kitten safe. :-)

I think it’s just Shane’s breed as a lurcher. I’m not giving up, I’ll keep trying.

She does like to watch my drama to the chaos she’s created.

I quite like the cat’s zero-tolerance for drama.

My terrier cries her eyes out every time I take her to the groomer. I drive off utterly devastated.
This was her around 30 minutes later, the manipulative hound.

You take a perfectly lovely fess, a rare ‘feel-good’ one at that, and twist it into something grubby.

Thought we were brilliant second-half. There’s a team there, no doubt about it.
