My breath hitched a bit when I saw this in New Posts, having read the Gnomie thread.
But I'm a grown woman after all.

Do what you need to, babba.
Pets are family, and nothing is more important than family.
I wouldn't want you here with half your mind and heart elsewhere.
If we can't do it this time we'll do it another time, they're bound to go away at least for a weekend.

I have a month to get over it now at least ;)

It would just mean coming at the end of the 12 days rather than the early part :) And possibly doing one night instead of two.

Then maybe the next time they go away I could get up for a couple of nights.

Get down you mean.
Geographically speaking.

Yeah. Most like, I do.

:p

Bring the puppy and teach it about trains and cats.......

... and beer and bruises

Have fun all. I'm going to request that UT leave open space on the Cellar NSFW thread in preparation.:D

Aheh...it did cross my mind that Pup in a crate wouldn't be so difficult to transport...

But no. Aside from the fact that he might kack all over Sundae's parents' house, there's also his innoculations, which he wouldn't have completed by then.

And the fact that the two cats in this house would probably freak out.

Mia would be even more traumatised than she already is, having a feline enemy in her house already.

Diz would yowl and growl, and if that failed, try to batter him.
I love my boy, but he is a jealous cat, and he will strike down upon any other creature with great vengeance and furious anger.

Or so he said.

Yeah. A mismanaged early meeting between Pilau and one of my brother's cats set the scene for 13 years of absolute enmity towards all felines.

Am hoping next door's cat is as confident and chilled as he appears to be. I'd like Carrot to be a little less dysfunctional when it comes to stuff like that :P

new dog is called Carrot? cool :)

Carrot?
Really?

I s'pose I'll get used to it.
Not sure right now though.

I voted for YMMV.

But you'd have to pronounce it "Yim-vee."
