I went to the dentist and this was the conversation
Dentist: Just a check up and clean today?
Me: Yeah and a little bit of laughing gas if you’ve got any spare.
Dentist: laughs You’re due for some x rays
Me: Not today but if you give me some laughing gas I’ll consider it.
Dentist: laughs Oh yes then we can all have a go laughs. Next we’ll do the x rays and if we need to do any work I’ll give you a needle.
Me: And laughing gas?
Dentist: no laughing. Completely ignores me
I tried. Now I’m wondering if I’m on some sort of “list”.

Mr Woof was at the Lost Dogs Home, after being picked up off the streets and not being claimed. When I first saw him he was bouncing up and down in his cage like he had an inbuilt pogo stick. He was very stressed as he had made good friends with another little white dog who had just gone off with a couple of strangers and was nowhere to be seen. I had my current dog with me for a greeting, but he was so focussed on trying to see his friend he pretty much just ignored her.
When we got to the waiting room his dog friend was there too and he was thrilled to be able to hang out again, then when he left with his new owners Mr Woof really started freaking out and howling in the waiting room. He took a while to settle in, the poor boy does not like change and becomes very attached to his pack.
Miss Meow was aquired through a small rescue via Facebook, and because it was Covid times we did the handover in the carpark of the vet’s office just after she’d been spayed. So she came into my life groggy from the drugs, and was also skinny with very patchy fur and was still on antibiotics to treat infections in her skin and mouth. She also had a booking to have some teeth removed too, which was the start of the infection that never quite cleared up and ended up with her having all her teeth removed and being diagnosed with FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).

I walk to the train station from work and it’s now raining quite heavily.

So my phone heard me talking about needing a new belt and started feeding me ads about belts. Ratchet belts in particular. It arrived yesterday, and holy cow it’s a game changer. has a cool ratchet sound as well.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 days ago
This is why I don’t speak anymore
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 days ago
It’s pretty unsettling when that happens. I said ‘nice fence’ once on a walk, then ended up getting heaps of ads for fencing.
Congrats on the belt, though!

Pet owners here, what’s the story of getting and meeting your pet?
Bonus points for baby pics!
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Partner had never had a cat and was hesitant when I proposed the idea. He said yes after a few weeks of thinking, and I immediately jumped on petrescue to look 😂
I saw Mickey’s picture, he was 4 months, give or take a few weeks, and was (IS) gorgeous. I called the rescue group, had a little phone convo, and booked to come in to meet Mickey and see if he liked us.
As soon as the animal attendant opened his enclosure door, he trotter out up to me. Put his front paws on my thighs and mewled. I melted. I picked him up and he was instantly purring and dribbling, making biscuits. Partner held him and the same thing. So we took him home that day 😂
his advertisement on petrescue that I saw
Image I screenshot this after we adopted hi, so I’d always have it heh

Omg baby Mickey is even more cute than grown up Mickey, didn’t think that was possible

Pepper popped out from under a hire car at Melbourne Airport. She then ate a Turkey sandwich and a muffin and made her way home. Did all the due diligence because she had a collar on but given the location we’re pretty sure she was dumped. This is her in the truck on her way home.

Toby!
spoiler
I met Toby at an animal shelter in Bendigo while dropping off a donation one day. Decided to cheer myself up and pat some dogs while I was there. There was 2 rows of kennels and all of the dogs were barking as I walked through. About three quarters of the way down, there was a kennel with a little white dog that was just sitting on the ground, no barking, no jumping. I decided to say hello to him and when I went into his kennel and sat on the ground, he immediately got into my lap and tilted his head back to look at me and I just fell in love. While I was sitting in there with him, the shelter photographer came by to take Toby’s promotional photos and I panicked and said not to because I was going to adopt him. Honestly don’t even know how I passed the adoption process, but I came back a week later to pick up my little man who became the absolute love of my life. Image
Alfie!
spoiler
Alfie is Boyo’s cat. My best friend worked with a pet rescue and messaged him one day about 7 years ago and said “I’ve got a cat for you, his name is Alfie” and sent him a photo of a tiny little kitten. Boyo was unsure about the cat, unsure about to name, but met him and absolutely fell in love. Image

I have no baby picks of the current two as they were adopted mostly grown. WhiteBoy I got as a tiny one from Lost Dogs. We went in to get a friend for another cat who was rather brain broken after being locked in the neighbours basement for much of a week. a mostly white kitten

Randomly my landlord rocked up one day and goes, do you want a cat? Daughters friends cat had kittens.
I thought about it for a couple of mins and was like, yeah sure why not.
Went to kmart, filled a trolley with cat stuff. Went over to meet em all and Gibson just kinda waddled over.
She fit in my hand pretty much but she was weaned, eating solid food and toilet trained.
And so began the adventure lol

Here’s my old kitty Sheba. Met her at a very nice (and proper) breeders place in geelong. Place was absolute chaos w/ all those cats (all abys). As soon as I walked in one jumped on me from the top of a door lol. Sheba though was just sitting there all quiet. Nicest cat I’ve ever had, but she was fearless. Used to jump off the second story for fun. She also didn’t like silverside and would only drink water on the bench out of one specific cup.
If i get another cat it’d be that breed.

Babies!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I was pet sitting for a neighbour while he was in hospital, and helped care for them after he got out. Because he was terminal he began rehoming the pets to ensure they would be looked after when he went. I adopted the senior kitty - Melbcat.
I was shown her baby pics briefly in a photo album but unfortunately don’t have them. I’m not sure what happened to that

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
My kid wanted a dog. I tried to convince her that there were other pets out there like fish, stick insects and silkies but apparently you can’t cuddle them so they’re not worthy.
So the man and kid went to the RSPCA where little dog was located. The man thought “he looks more robust than the chihuahua that we had previously looked at. Atleast she won’t kill him on his first night home”.
He has not forgotten the “wheelie bin incident”.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Good choice. Sounds like she’s the CEO of your house.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 days ago
The number of times I tripped over the cat or accidentally yeeted her down the hallway when she walked in front of me, makes me think a small dog wouldn’t survive in our house
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Thank you for the pet photos everyone! And the stories! I think I’ve been convinced to get a cat at some stage in my life, even though I’ve always been a dog person. I love how my dog gives me a bit of a boost when running, but I reckon one day, a cat will be on the table.

SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
They’re both good pets but have very different requirements. My dog feels like way more work than my friends cats.

If you get kittens consider getting two so they have a buddy. It helps socialize them
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 days ago
So this is weird (although I’m sure there’s an easy reason). I only use FB here in Melbs to look for music events here in Melbs. I’ve never used it down the beach. When I’m down the beach I only use google to look at the local IGA for dins lol. All the suggested events on FB are now for the Bellarine (I’ve never gone to an event down there let alone searched for one). It used to be all DnB raves.
So I can only assume that googs is now selling location shit to FB. Don’t have FB on phone either.
Weird.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
It depends if facey has its location services turned on. If so, it’s pinging every now and again to know where you are.
Pretty sure you can turn it off.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
My mum used to be one of those people who does not like novelty kitchen appliances, like those machines that are used to make one item. She drilled it into us things like airfryers are a waste of space.
We now have a popcorn maker, after I burnt a saucepan. And today, a slushie maker. At least it also makes frappes and is good for Xmas entertaining.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Toaster.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
We actually got rid of the toaster and got a convection oven instead. It’s handy for baking small things but takes around seven minutes to toast bread well. My dad will frequently just use the sandwich press if he wants multiple pieces of toast.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Air fryer, pressure cooker and slow cooker are used regularly at home.
Yes they take up some space, but worth the minor loss of bench space.
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 days ago
We got a ninja foodi combo unit that does all three of those. Freed up much space.

Ted Cat
After the sad loss of Allie Cat I decided it would be nice to have another cat to love and look after. So I scoured the pages of the RSPCA , wrote them an essay and was lucky to get him. We picked him up from Epping and in teh car park as it was the height of Covid restrictions.
After spending a few weeks hiding from me he finally relaxed and came out, Took another weeks or so to finally meow.
And then I discovered he loves tv and especially watching watching Puss In Boots. he loved Dulcinea.

The girlfriend is into anime figures so I get some emails from some pop culture places. One thing I don’t understand is who would get like a 60cm tall figure for a couple of grand? Like, where would you put it? And who is looking at it?
I could get some type of business in a public setting like a cafe or whatever, but it’s not like there are a bunch of pop culture focused places around. They’re just so expensive and take up so much space.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I am feeling much better this morning after a good night’s sleep.
Today is fridge cleanout day, the new groceries are being delivered tomorrow. It’s also dog food mixing day, which works out quite well as I can put any leftover vegetables straight into that instead of freezing them. I also have plans to make bread, I’m in need of both plain and fruit loaves again.
Everything outside is quite damp, I’m hoping to see the soft green fuzz of sprouting grass soon. I’ll probably need to do some watering again towards the end of the week as they are predicting sunny days again, but once they actually sprout and can find their own water it will become a bit easier. I definitely understand why people get turf laid, it’s like the difference between and adult dog and a puppy!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Was wondering what the noise was last night… Turns out it was AC/DC… I’m like 4kms away lol. That wouldn’t have been safe for the ears up close.

Ugh. I’ve been using Brave to listen to YouTube (avoid ads and hopefully traffic) but now it’s redirecting me to the app for some reason.
Hate YouTube for this shit

Smoke alarm just went off for no reason, waking up the kids (I was already awake). Wouldn’t turn off either, had to pull the battery out. After a check of the house there’s nothing to report.
