I can’t cope

I don't think it is either of those things @Captain24

Our brains can work in such tricky ways. Sometimes forgetting is our brains way of trying to protect us.

Izzy always goes to the person with the food!! Or she has a special place on the couch.

That sounds yummy for tea. We are having Chicken and Vegies with mushroom sauce.

Sounds like the dogs have been taking you for a ride @Captain24 haha how's the puppy chaos going? How long you looking after the little scamps? Hope lil Pix is doing ok!

Both of mine sit and wait when if got stuff @Snowie. I’m sure the third will too.

Mums dog has spent a lot of the time outside wandering around. Probably digging holes.

I don’t like mushroom sauce but I’d do the chicken and veggies.

It’s just wild @Jynx. I’ve got Keiko until this time tomorrow. Pix has certainly let them know what she thinks.

It’s already too much for me and I’m not coping. But I have to focus on an hr at a time. It’s breaking me though.

I do have some really exciting news though.. my bestie is moving back to town!!! She says in 6 months but I think it’ll be sooner but I can impatiently wait!

I don't really like the mushroom sauce a lot either @Captain24 but hubby loves it and it is quick and easy, so even better.

And the kids eat it too which is good.

@Captain24 oh nooo sounds like it's quite a lot of energy for you to manage! I myself get super frazzled when my kitty decides one dinner wasn't enough and it's time to scream. Hopefully they tire each other out!

OMG yay! That's such amazing news, aww gonna be a wonderful reunion I'm sure! What's the first thing you'd wanna do together?

Hopefully soon @Jynx. Hopefully soon. I’m going to have to shut the back door soon though as Keiko has to come inside before it gets too cold.

She is planning NYE. Just seeing her and knowing that she is close and that I can reconnect to her son. We were so close 5 yrs ago before she left, I was his chief babysitter!

@Captain24 Mmm it's nearly time for my nightly cat-herding to get my babies inside before the sun goes down! I legit saw a fox on my street a couple weeks ago and got super nervous about my kitties!

Aww cute as! How old is he now? You seen him since then? He'd have grown up eh?

I have 3 dogs asleep @Jynx. It’s quite nice for a little bit.

A fox isn’t good. Are you in suburbia? I have hit a couple of them in my time.

He will be 9 in August. It was just before his 3 rd birthday so it must be nearly 6 years. I have seen him but he doesn’t remember me. But I think we can build it again. I’m hoping that it’s in his subconscious!

@Captain24 aww bless - hope it lasts enough for you to recuperate some energy!

Yeah I'm in suburbia, which is why I was so surprised - but then, I do have a big park behind my house with like, four sports ovals and some scrub in between so it makes sense. I absolutely LOVE foxes, they've always been one of my fav animals, but whenever I see them here I can't help but feel a lotta discomfort like... they're NOT supposed to be here. When I was in Scotland though, it was way better cos that's their native habitat! So watching them frolic without pangs of guilt (not my guilt I guess but the guilt of how much white settlers screwed with the Australian ecosystem, ya know?) was pretty special.

Aww wow! It'll be amazing seeing how much he's grown! And even if he doesn't remember you much, I imagine his body will, hopefully, and thus will feel safe with you 😊💜 Oooh maybe you could do some Lego together! So wholesome!
