i ate all your bees
well marley's been with us for 2 weeks, we let him out for the first time yesterday and he came back \o/ he's been going stir crazy watching the birds out the window, trying to eat all the houseplants and dangling from the loft windows by his front claws so he can poke his nose out 
he's a natural on fences and made it up to the top end of the street before we called him back. hopefully having an outdoor territory to patrol will stop him marking the whole house 
most weirdly in the washing machine 
but he's totally part of the family now, he nosy and into everything, always wants to be in on whatever we're doing, learns really quickly and gets "no". he's soft as shite when he's sleepy, but a perfectly-tuned killing machine when he's not. i pretty soon stopped his favourite game of pouncing on feet/hands under the covers when i found out he can get his claws right through a thick blanket and a winter weight duvet

How have you tried to upload pics?
There are a few options:
1) If your picture is on the computer you are using just use the 'upload file' button bottom right of the page, under the box your write replies in. This opens a little window which you can use to find your picture on your PC - you can make finding pics a bit easier by saving them to your desktop and looking there when uploading.
2) If the pic is online you can use the URL of the picture and type at the beginning of the URL and [ /img ] at the end (without the spaces) - this is good option for putting up random images from google searches too. It doesnt work so well for facebook pictures -> those are better off uploaded from facebook to your PC and added using the first method.
where are your pics? saved on your computer?

Yay, cracked it . These two are dealing with the arrival of Bob in a typically relaxed manner.

He is good. I was sceptical about chihuahuas, but he's just like a regular dog, only small.
He only suffers from mild small dog syndrome, and much less than he used to, as we socialise him more.
He is a bit of a poser though

For me it's a sign of true masculinity when someone has the self-confidence to carry that one off, rather than dragging some hideous trophy dog round.

making himself at home in the laundry basket
sporting a collar for the first week or so he's outside so a) if he gets lost there's a phone number on him b) we can keep tabs on him jingling half way down the street

I have a collar, disk and bell on my rescue cat that I've had for about 2 months now. I needn't worry about him getting lost though because he won't go outside. I'm going to start insisting soon

as in too nervous to go outside? did the rescue give you any background?
hegley
never odd or even
Too relaxed ... I bet they secretly have 'plans' for Bob. (((Bob)))Yay, cracked it
He's not in the least bit nervous
He is just over a year old and very fat. The previous owners split up but they had 4 other cats as well as him so I think he must have gone out at his old home. He's just lazy I think. I'm going to wear a few layers of clothes this Wed/Thurs when I'm off work and leave the door open all day.
