We got a thunderstorm at around 6 yesterday, I was out walking a client!

Rain & intermittent sun here, bit annoying as I need to strim the path down to the hens as it's fast turning into a jungle:eek: Hoping for nice days tomorrow & Sunday, as we're off to a plant fair (Sat) & a fun dog show (Sun)!

Oh they are the worst! My neighbour gets them popping up along her garage wall every year & I know they've appeared as I can always smell them from my garden. When it comes to deadly ones, there aren't lots of them when you consider how many fungus species we have in the UK, most either just...

I'm not 100% up on fungi ID, apart from the really obvious edibles, but after consulting my books & assorted bookmarked websites these look like one of the brittlestem/inkcap mushrooms, maybe Coprinellus disseminatus, the fairy inkcap (edible, but not usually bothered with) or Parasola...

Yes, funnily enough when I first saw the trailer for Flow on Youtube it automatically followed it with one for Isle of Dogs & I said I'd have to watch that too!

Oh I love ferrets, they are so much fun! One day, when the allotment is less time consuming & I no longer have my bunnies, I might get a couple of rescue ferrets, I always said I'd turn one of the kids' rooms into a room just for ferrets when they leave home!

Oops, thankyou!

Of course!

I had a quick peep on there yesterday, because I'm incurably nosy 😂 & saw a reply 'Frank' gave to someone looking for a new cockerel. Frankly (pardon the pun) I've seen better replies when one of the cats rolls around on my laptop keyboard.

Just been to the cinema & watched one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. It's called 'Flow' & it's completely free of dialogue, I highly recommend seeking it out, I won't give the plot away but will put a link to the trailer if anyone's interested:

I could never not work with animals, so much easier than dealing with people! The only time I've worked in an office was when I was a lecturer, I only managed 6 months before I was burned out & decided teaching wasn't for me, & a good part of that was the 'office politics' & incompetent...

In a nutshell, dogs don't go through menopause.

Hi & welcome, I defected a couple of weeks ago 😂 I was simplysardonic on there.

We've now had several days of rain here! I've been away for work (animal sitting for a variety of species) & where I've been staying has a private woodland, it's been lovely walking through it to the sound of rain hitting the leaves. I've also managed to fill my water butts up again ready for...

I used to work as a tech/dem at the local agricultural college & supervised practicals in the Animal Care Centre. We would give regular free range time to the bigger exotics- George the veiled chameleon, the various Hermann's tortoises & the box turtle, the bearded dragons & Timmy the...

I'm having the same, I'm not very tech savvy so keep dismissing the message for the time being, but at some point I'll have to get it sorted I suppose:emoji_anguished:

And the fact that sadly very little of the legislation we already have is enforced- you only have to see how puppy farmers have found loopholes to get around Lucy's Law & are now thriving more than ever, & of course the poor sentencing dished out for animal cruelty & neglect. I'm sad to say I...

Of course! It needs as many people on board as possible.

Some of you may have heard about the recent multi-agency raid on fake rescue 'Save a Paw' in Billericay, Essex, where 20 live dogs & the remains of at least another 37 were removed, it's currently probably the most horrific time ever for the rescue world. The continuing fallout from 'lockdown...

One of the tortoises I used to work with would chase & try & nip students' feet! Have to say I've never been bitten by a ladybird & I've handled quite a few, but I'm sure they can, as most beetles have pretty powerful jaws.
