Shiny After Hours Chat

[Ricky Vapes]

God today was a weird day I forgot that this was the two year mark since my girlfriend died until I got an email from her address this morning before work that just says “Hello” and nothing else. Mabye I’m living in a soap opera and she faked her death to get out of her legal troubles? Ha I don’t know someone must be screwing with me or it’s some hacker . Just weird it’s on the anniversary of her death. Some might find that Spooky

Thank you
I couldn’t find the file with the stepping stones I did for others (aka put actual time into). These are in my yard (poured down right after the lawn guy left so a touch soggy). Some are over 20 yo, and have lost a stone here and there. The ducks eye is awol . Then, three I did for a fundraiser at the last minute because they neeeeeded items. (The Scottish girl is reverse painted on clear glass.)
The table you could easily do. I bought a “glass” top patio table on clearance at the end of the summer and put the pieces on with mosaic glue. The bead edging was to keep the bartop acylic from running off while it cured.

Those are beautiful @NolaMel we ran out of time by a fair margin.. I think it might be for to IDK bring the cement mixer with us and do lovely whimsical cement things. Maybe. Perhaps. The husband seem so to like carpentry the best.

Oh you know that total tool "Thomas Kinkade" TRADEMARKED, "Painter of light???" The husband wants to make very thin paper art that has "Husband's name..... Painter of lightboxes."

LOL the last part has a ring to it and his stuff is crap we might get a few confused buyers.

My “he’s a full grown mix” (not lol) is up another 5 pounds, an inch taller and still has visible ribs. That makes 13 pounds in three months. Looking like I’ll have a giant dog to go with my giant cat

That face!

Putting my traps back into the dark recesses of my garage. Not doing it anymore for awhile. Yesterdays sick cats and subsequent deaths did me in. Because I was on auto pilot, I did not spend any time with them. Just whisked the traps, with scared kitties into the clinic in the usual mindset of "this is best for them" Had I known I was taking them on their death ride I would have spent some time with each. Talked softly, gave treats, at least made eye contact. My head and heart have been a wreck and I hate the human race right now because someone, somewhere made this mess and left it to others to clean up. Someone somewhere dumped a cat without spaying and neutering, cats multiplied and mated and one got sick. Passed it to all the others. I hate that someone right now.
The lovely care giver I was helping was so overwhelmed with cats everywhere, every morning wanting food. She was going through a big bag of food a week. If we had not started on this the 30+ cats she had in her yard would have been 120+ next year.
This is the group my little baby foster Shelby, that died, came from.

Good morning Chatter's
This one touched me deeply. What a difference a few words can do to brighten another's day.

Ha good thing it wasn’t me I’d be all angry calling them a wise guy and be seen grabbing for the camera with one hand and the other balled up in a fist

I wish I could find good homes for my bunnies at work. I try to make life as good as I can but still they don’t deserve to be left out in the wild like that . They all have fleas and wen they get injured have no way to get veterinary care. They all have oil patches on them from sleeping under cars . At least I bring some joy to their day

@Ricky Vapes one thing I have learned in life is you can't save everything. I'm sorry I wish you could find a home for those bunnies too, but you ARE improving their life and most wild bunnies don't get that.

You NEED to take a break. It wears on the heart with situations like you just went through. Rest your mind and heart. I hate that people do this every day in every part of the world. We can't save them all, and you've done your best. Be easy on yourself. Your heart is heavy and hurt. Be kind and gentle with yourself.

This was my once in a lifetime LOVE, Puggers. She passed a few years ago. She was attached to my hip. She ran the house. Her personality was like no other. I still grieve for her every day. But Maddy eases my pain.

 

[Katmar]

And this was our gentle giant, Piper. The sweetest baby ever. Thought she was a lap dog. Well, she WAS, because she insisted. And "played" Mommy to Maddy. She passed about a year and a half after we got Maddy. Puggers passed 3 months before Piper left us. It was a rough year. But we were SO lucky to have them. Such joy lived in our home, and now Maddy has met the challenge of keeping the love strong.

Gorgeous dogs and you are right that they never get replaced in your heart. But those fur babies which come afterwards? They find a new part, all of their own to grow into

ughhh..what a rough year. I am so scared of that rough year because mine are 9, 10, 11. The dog in the middle at 10. We all walk together every morning. Dog on a leash and the cats follow. I wish I could load a video in here because it is pretty funny

2 locals who live down the road walk their 2 sulphur-crested cockatoos on a stick every day. And it makes me laugh, every single time

But it was seeing and talking to them, that got my 15yo nephew so interested in first raising budgies and now a lorikeet named Kea. Who takes for walks, on a stick

 

[Ricky Vapes]

I wonder what this could be growing in this field me and Toby walk by. They feel kinda furry like it has little hairs on it. Just big leaves growing. Thinking about plucking One for my bunnies..

Can you see any blossoms under the leaves? Looks like a squash variety maybe???
