Ive got the enemy in my house.

My sis in law rang... she's broken both her wrist& forearm this morn. She's a mess!  Hospital today & surgery, plates & pins on thurs. 6 wks of therapy expected till she can even hold a pen or cup. (She is a RDNS) she is not happy nor loving the hospital...

She asked, (after I told her off for not ringing me hrs earlier)... can I take her 2 poodles. She's a mess. I said yes.  She can't walk, groom, wash, etc them. They need care.

They are  rescue dogs, a breeding pair, neither trained & they are 9 &7 yrs. They HATE  cats & chooks (of which I have both) so... "shizen" I had 3 hrs notice... they are here now!

To avoid arguments, the silkie cant be with the browns, the cat can't be with her dogs,  the silkie can't meet the poodles, & if the poodles try it on with mine.....  not a good outcome!

Twill be musical animals for a few days here to come.

Edit: Oh my smiley didnt work.

You've got a good heart - I hope you manage your menagerie without too much trouble over the next few days

Its going it be a rough few days lorraine.these are not dogs I'd allow to behave this way, either mine or visiting.

Oh, wow, what a house full!

Hopefully things will go relatively smoothly & you won't need the Valium!

Oh Tracy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are such a good sis-in-law; I remember her poodles

Good luck to you, and good luck to your sis-on-law; it can't be fun having all those breaks.

s to all of you

Good luck, to infinity and beyond!

Yeah... last time they visited, the black male "Elvis" attacked my silkie chook & the white female "Paris" the elder of them. (she didn't name them by the way.) Took a chunk of fur out of my kitten. Which Chilli has obviously not forgotten. I said I wouldn't have them back! But.... this really is an emergency.

Same woman who lets dogs off lead when NOT trained. Left the female in a rabbit warren to go to work... & wants to take care of mine whenever I go away.    Well, that ain't going to while I'm breathing! Lovely, gentle, caring soul, but, just no idea with dogs!

So I have sooty (my chook) living in our 4 car garage, Chilli is now living in the study, my dogs go out while her's eat, then they all switch. Hers couldnt eat next to another without snapping. She has a "Sh1t" collar on Elvis that comes off constantly. Con had to chase him down the street & under cars on a main rd when he went to pick them up. Paris' is fine so I have put Tysons puppy collar on Elvis. Same as the one I sent a doggy friend, just heaps smaller. It wont come off!

& to top it off.... I woke with such a sore throat & no voice to speak of this morn.


I hope my sis in law is ok.  But, I think I may have her dogs for sometime? As I have no idea how she can possibly cope after surgery with them.

Sorry...... rant over!

Its been a busy day moving, locking away animals at diff times & as I feel like crap we didnt even go for a walk. That is happening tomorrow. They can't sit, drop, wait.... as for heal?

Wish me luck & no one I know sees me.

Put a big sign around your neck saying "Breaking in, please pass!"

Good luck - but someone is bound to see you!

I'm going to make Con walk them. I'll walk mine. No one would dare say anything to him.

P.s. I'll be about 100mtrs either infront or behind them all so my face won't glow in embarrassment.

Here's my visitors for those that don't know or remember them with my sis in law on the last visit...

Aww, so sweet!

Caryll wrote:Aww, so sweet!

Yeah... they're both sweet as....till the wind blows in a direction they dont like.

Bad, bad wind!!!!!

You'll have them knocked into shape by the time their mum has healed.

As I have no voice for the moment.... my spray bottle is doing the talkfor me. They don't seem to like being wet!

I'm hoping NOT to have them that long.

"Paris"  (the white one) had a snap at Tyson this arvo. Jess stepped in, put her back in her place, real quick! Before I could get there. She hasn't tried it again, yet! Most dogs back down permanently when Jessup steps in.

It is going to be a trying few days. Don't know what I'll do if she cant take them back?

She is actually in a pretty bad way. My OH.. her bro, picked her up from hospital... she is staying here as well as the dogs now. Lucky I cant breath, stop coughing, watering eyes, sneezing, etc.... I do need something else to look after!

Don't get me wrong, I love her to bits but...its all been really bad timing. Id do most anything for her. She can't do much of anything at the moment but I am so afraid I'll give her my germs! She didnt want to stay at her mums as she would fuss like crazy & drive her mad. I GET THAT! But, I feel like crap & she has not stopped talking all day!

Tracy, you're a heroine.

Get well soon

Oh, poor you! You need some peace, but it doesn't look like it'll be any time soon!

I'm either a fool or stupid. Today the other one snapped at Tyson.  He snapped back!

I said to her earlier today... Don't let me forget, I have spag sauce, (fresh) eggs & some meals for you to take home tomorrow (as she wanted to go home on sun) so you dont have to chop or shop. Just reheat for a good dinner.

I think, she thinks im kicking her out. So I told Con to ask her to stay tomorrow night & he can drop her home before work.

Though I want her dogs out of my house ( mine have not moved freely in 5 days now!)... the same does not go for her.

It's difficult situation, isn't it?
