What's making you happy today? - Page 572

Oh, and

This is kind of related to a post in the unhappy thread...

Carrot is really liking his hydrotherapy sessions. And he lurves Rhona the hydro vet. Really, lurves her. Within five minutes of meeting her he was eating out of her hand doing anything she asked him to do lol.

This makes me happy. Because I'm gonna have to take him twice weekly for a few weeks and then probably weekly for a few more. So, I am really, really happy that I am not going to have to drag him, protesting, through the door every time. I don't have to feel bad about inflicting medical stuff on him having got him into the car all jolly and expecting fun and frolics.

Not sure what he'll make of the acupuncture mind...still, we can burn that bridge when we come to it eh? For tonight, I am just happy that this thing he has to do so regularly is something that he enjoys.

I am happy right now, in this moment, because sometimes when I reach out I get what I need.

I'm happy because I realize I am cared about more than I let myself know.

Thanks, friend.

thanks, friend of a friend.

I'm too lazy to find an appropriate thread in Food and Drink...

But I hope people are taking advantage of this season's crop of table grapes.

We (PDX) are getting both green and red table grapes like I've never seen or tasted before.

They are huge and firm and sweet. The greens are seedless; the reds have fewer seeds.

Grape horticulture has reached a new high standard this year.

I was going to stay on campus after my weekly office hour (post grad tutor's office, each have it for an hour a week so students can drop in) to do some marking, but changed my mind. I'm off down to my bro's this evening to see Amelia (she's back from uni for the first time since term started :P) and won;t be taking Carrotchops with me. Seemed unfair to leave him for the evening after hardly seeing him all day.

So, came home on the train, met Ma and Carrot at the station and she dropped us both at my house. And then Carrot and I had the longest cuddle. He was all floppy and tired puppeh and licked my ear in sheer joy that I was home.

I'm so pleased with him. I know he has some horrid physical problems to deal with, but I couldn't have asked for a better temperament. He's so sweet. Everyone he says hello to seems utterly charmed by him.

Puppies can charm.

Benny handled a little goat work this morning very nicely. I saw this this morning about doggies.

Oh! That was marvellous. I laughed so much.

orthodoc · 10-20-2012, 01:20 PM

I love that. It's so true!

Dogs are very handy in your neck of the woods.

I had a plott hound mix years ago who really would've enjoyed that scene. Merlin might have a go but Benny may have a self-preservation gene, although with his smarts he might build a primitive projectile launcher and drive him off.

ZenGum · 10-22-2012, 05:59 PM

That's a bloody mean looking goat you got there, Griff!

Griff · 10-22-2012, 06:52 PM

Once they go feral, they're all mean.

footfootfoot · 10-22-2012, 07:37 PM

That guy definitely isn't in it for the hunting.
