Can I just say that having your face very close to the top of a dog's head when he suddenly, vigorously shakes his ears is like being whacked in the eyes by MacFeegles with small furry floggers?

Thankfully the dog with the habit of doing this when I put his harness on is the one with the pointy velvet ears and not the long slappy ones. Still stings though.

it's too hot to post anything sensible, and my brain feels like the butter hiding in the kitchen, that I discovered today I'd forgotten to return to the fridge last time I used it several weeks ago. I am going to return to lounging on the couch watching last season's Stargates now. I've temporarily run out of House and ER.

i was on the verge of sussing out your email and emailing you to find out what was up!

Post more, sensible or not. There's always kitten pictures!

The kittens are HIDING.

well, they weren't just now when I fed them, actually. They were all flat out of the floor like very small live tiger rugs. Poor hot cattens.

Yesterday they learned to climb up the back of my dresser and hide in the drawers to freak me out when I count noses!

Awwww . . . cattens. SWEET!

Wishing cool thoughts your way. Er, cool things.

I'm having real trouble taking any now that they have the run of the bedroom. Cassie blocks the camera (she's never liked me photographing them) and the lil' cats all run and hide.

I did get two today. Not good ones, but they do contain recognisable kittens. And an embarrassing view of the sheer quantity of crap I keep in my bedroom. I moved all the kitchen stuff in there when they did my kitchen and never got round to putting most of it back.

I've got the downloading software running and it doesn't like me uploading pics to LJ at the same time. I'll post 'em in the morning, I promise. And I'll try and get a few more when I give them theor breakfast.

I'm posting this via the weirdness that is grex.cyberspace.org. [livejournal.com profile] foibey has kindly showed me how to use it so I can bypass the LJ problems I'm having with BT Broadband.

I was wondering how you get your hands on the delicious shows that you mention in your posts. Do you have to pay for them? Do you get them from friends online? I'd quite like to get into Farscape, and watch other sci-fi or crime/hostpital drama delights.

I'm really hot too. Grumpy, bah.

I mostly download them, and I also get a lot of them from [livejournal.com profile] topbit who utterly rocks.

no thank you! I take my hat off to you, it would finish me off in half an hour.

on the other hand, if you need anything vigorous done in a snowdrift in sub-zero temperatures any time, I'm your girl!

Indi does that, too! It's amazing how much it can actually sting your face.

From: [identity profile] lizblackdog.livejournal.com


isn't it? Squish doesn't tend to shake right in my face but Spike does it all the damn time.

Then again Squish bruises my shins with his heavy stiff tail. If they can't hurt me with one end they'll hurt me with the other. Buggers!

From: [identity profile] miss-teacher.livejournal.com


Some of those tails are lethal! My boss's Dals have very strong thick tails and her youngest is such a happy little guy that you have to watch out!

You're in trouble if your two ever decide to tag team you :)

It's happened before. (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=lizblackdog&keyword=Dog-based+injuries&filter=all)

They usually tag team more gently though, like when they need me to get out of bed in the morning. Spike sits on my chest and gives me the Border Collie Mind Control Stare and Squish licks my toes. Nobody sleeps through that!

From: [identity profile] miss-teacher.livejournal.com


I'm reporting your dogs to OPS (Owner protection Services).

Ouch! You are getting worked by your pups!
ext_15855: (Spike Misbehave)

From: [identity profile] lizblackdog.livejournal.com


They can be a bit rough sometimes.

The only injury I have at the moment is a dog-claw scratch down one thigh. Spike went into Extreme Zoomie mode and tried to do his "leap from one couch to the other without touching the ground" thing and forgot I was lying there.

He was very embarrassed, poor dear...

You both should try a large parrot wing to the face. it hurts WAY worse than you'd expect considering it's all feathers.

Even the little birds, when they smack me in the face with a wing, sting like crazy and someone always ends up poking me in the eye.

Tails, though. Wow, tails can be a problem.

Glad you're not dead, Liz! It's hot here too, 36 outside, and I'm trying to hide.

Oh, I've been whapped by wings before; I used to be a falconer. Been footed too: I still have a scar on one tit from being grabbed while changing jesses, and a scar on my right hand from when she was eating a rabbit leg on my fist - she dropped it, I caught it and she caught me and the rabbit.

The worst animal injuries I've ever had by far, though, were from our hand-reared grey squirrel. You don't ever want to be on the wrong end of a pissed-off squirrel with no fear of humans.

From: [identity profile] bloolark.livejournal.com


Parrots don't do the feet thing, only the insane biting thing. :) Well, some of them.

The only real lasting animal injuries I have are a few old scars from my blue fronted Amazon, Buffy, and the fact that my right pinkie finger no longer straightens due to an infected cat bite (that sent me to the ER, yay).

Other than that, I'm pretty non-wounded. My father got attacked by my neighbor's pet squirrel when I was a child, and I still distinctly remember it being a less than pleasant situation. Squirrels are a little scary that way.

oh great, now I really feel good about the bite I got on my finger when I was giving one of the kids medicine earlier.

I've caught a few odd episodes when I was living at Mum's where there was cable TV. I thought it was well done, but I can't say I'm enthused enough to download it - but I'm not a big fan of comedy shows, even intelligent edgy ones.

From: [identity profile] ifpetalsfall.livejournal.com


Fair enough, I like house a lot. Last night we watched the one where he gives himself a migraine :)

last season's Stargates...


.... Are so six months ago.

You want to be watching the new season of SG1 and Atlantis.

Then next weekend, new BSG.

Re: last season's Stargates...


Next weekend? I thought they'd put it off till October? When'd that change?

And I am watching the new stuff, but there's only one of each so far. I need to rewatch last season to remind myself of what's been going on.

Re: last season's Stargates...


October in the UK, and if it's like the last few years, it still catches up around Xmas, to show them a week ahead of the US.

Speaking of fridges, whatever happened with the monster at Grimmauld??

I'm still successfully procrastinating on that one. It'll have to be soon though.

My sister'd kill me. Mum's at her house still and she's in danger of murdering the old bat any day now. She really wants me to get on with this.

Ah, clean fridge means Mrs. Black & Kreacher return home sooner?
Just watch out for bogarts when you open the door.
