It's War!

So it's Halloween and it's war at our place.
The spiders have ignored repeated warnings and instructions to leave. A fly in the kitchen has repeatedly buzzed Milly while she has been trying to eat her dental biscuits. There has been a tension in the house that has now resulted in a declaration of all out war from the local cat council.

Poppet is taking no chances with the garden spider who lives beneath the barbeque - he will be crushed and his webs will be no more. The other cats in the neighbourhood have enlisted to help.There will be no sanctury in the grooves of the patio doors and no chance to escape to store room.

Death to everything with  more than four legs!

Milly will no longer suffer the indignity of the 'high fly' out of reach in the skylight. "He can fly, but now he can't hide" she purred as she climbed into her new toy. "I ate your brother and you're next". (I think that's what she said to him). Blanket squadron is ready to go.

We are prepared for a long and arduous campaign. Enough is enough, some of us are just making it by on only 22 hours sleep a day - war is hell

More news from the front later. Happy Halloween!

Kamo needs help

On a more serious note, there is a small animal in dire need of some help. Two hours ago we learned about 'Kamo' a small cat that has been found with horrific injuries to her eye and jaw. The excellent people at VPAS are trying to raise urgent funds to provide the treatment and care to give this little soul a second chance at life.

Dog stuff

These great accessories for dogs from Wannekes speak for themselves. I just love the colours and textures of the collars and the stylish chunkiness of the leash that looks so good with the Pug.

and who wouldn't want to carry their pet around in this case?

These leg covers come in a variety of colours and are such a good idea! You just put them around any chair or table leg for your dog to chew on.

 Here's one for a dog that likes to roam. Too cute!

Flocks of jewelry

There have been several sightings of rare birds recently, and I now see them on all sorts of clothing, home decor and bits and bobs. Today I'd like to show you these great pieces of jewelry that share the common theme of birds.The first couple of pieces are from allison mooney and I love the simple icon with the bold fixing.
