Subject: RE: BS: Loss of a pet
Ah, but I believe Adolf Hitler had a dog didn't he?
We enjoyed looking after Pela, that poor little spaniel that the South African couple proposed to leave shut alone in a concrete courtyard for a whole weekend while they went travelling. I got a bit stroppy and said either they let us look after her at our house or I call the RSPCA.
She was so affectionate, and neither of us minded picking up the poo when we walked her. But I found it a bit exhausting walking miles morning, noon and night, so noble husband did extra duties, bless him.
She sat on the sofa next to me all the time and nearly licked me to death. I cried like an idiot when we had to hand her back.
But it did demonstrate that I'm too old now to take on a dog. Cats are easier.
Helen, you made me scream!! Spider exhibition on your honeymoon??!!! Gaaaaaaagh!! hee hee. Seriously though, I feel absolutely ashamed & stupid about this spider phobia. I love all wildlife and all creatures, and can't understand why I can't see it from the spider's point of view. After all, they're just little animals with a right to be on the Earth. But it's so automatic and uncontrollable. Stupid old lady!
