    It’s wild and wet out there. Not sure where little dude goes in bad weather because it’s not home. I bought bedding straw to put in the round plastic bin I have and a tarp for now. Hopefully set up a dry area tomorrow

      If he’s anything like our past cats, to the nearest place with an open fire that feeds him treats.

      How do you know he is not going home? I think you mentioned he has owners?

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        It was raining and when it slowed to a drizzle he went past in all the wet. At night. (My council has a cat curfew.) There’s also a flattened area in a nook under the eaves which he may be using as shelter.

        Afaik he’s “owned” but there’s a lot of owners who let them live as outside cats and do jackshit to care for them. And it has happened before that a cat was suddenly coming to me much more because his owner had moved away leaving him behind :(

    Neighbour is dogsitting an Australian shepherd this week. The dog’s owner is a mutual friend.

    Neighbour had to run errands today and the dog is crying. Messaged neighbour that I’m taking the dog to my house (have keys to his joint) and he can stay out longer.

    Doggo is snoozing on the couch right now and has made himself at home.

      I understand there’s a connection with the Basque sheepherders of early California - I believe they were the first to develop the breed. Only reasonable I reckon to call a dog with absolutely NO connection to Australia an Australian Shepherd. We already had kelpies and heelers so not needed by us as working dogs.

        Kind of like Outback steakhouse, which has zero to do with Australia. The founders never even been here.

        Tis it’s own breed, bred in California from imported collies.

    Dog sitting update.

    Neighbour asked me if it’s okay if him and his missus stay out till late and can dog stay here.

    I benevolently agreed
not letting onto that the dog has been walked, fed and is currently snuggled up to me on the couch.

    I’m sleeping on the couch tonight it seems.

        😊 This is my little beach that is 5 min walk from my front door to sand and it’s so nice to have a clean beach, so sick of piles of seaweed everywhere. No hiking here , just easy sand.

    Has anyone had a “canker sore” on their tongue before? I just woke up with this sore yesterday. Eating has now become a painful experience. Food has to be in liquid form to go down and even then it still hurts. Booked in with the doc for later today.

    Dinner will need to some kind of soup.

    Stress caused apparently, it’s amazing how much stress messes up our physical health too.

      Rub some Vegemite on it, that stings but can help. Or get some Chlorofluor oral gel from the chemist.

      Make sure you’re up on B12

    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁚2⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      yup.

      Xylocaine. Gel. not ointment. Safe for oral use. Available at chemist. will numb like the dickens.

      Oh yes. I got sick as a kid with something that caused them and now I get one or two mild ones often if I am about to come down with the flu. Salt water gargle bit weirdly avoid salty or acidic food. Bonjela helps (do they still make that?)

    I ventured to the local NQR store for the first time today. I’m not sure if I like going there for the value or because they have different things to buy. I’ve stocked up on salmon, in the form of both burgers and frozen cooked chunks. I also got some turkey schnitzels and a frozen veg mix.

    There was one small mess up - I thought I was buying a bottle of shampoo and two of conditioner, but it was actually two shampoos and one conditioner. As I always use the conditioner quicker this will lead to a significant imbalance.

    Got my first bunting from Sammy today, and Cerys gave them their first hiss (not a bad one, she zoomed forward to eat a snack they’d accidentally bunted under the door and they were all up in her business so she said back off. Ears up and tail unfloofed). They also saw the electronic shutters open for the first time today and it blew their kitty minds

    Yeah this tarp has liberated itself from half the clamps and tried to sail the world. The sheer size of it lets it catch too much air. It’s also released a flap that’s in the way of where he jumps out of the yard.

    Will try to order a couple of shitty Kmarget tarps and reassess.

    I definitely bought way too much tarp for my needs
 I’ve quickly secured it the best I can but that thing is billowing like a spinnaker. It’s probably not going to stay. Adjustments will have to be made to redirect runoff or prevent pooling too.

    This crappy ebay reader claims that this cat doesn’t have a chip, but due to its quality it can’t really be trusted. And he was trying to come inside 😭

    No idea what the future holds
 I’m currently barely able to look after myself let alone have another pet. But I might see if I can get hold of a higher quality scanner. I’ve rehoisted the sail and set the bin up with the straw bedding so I hope he finds it.

    I am just 1000 steps away from completing this weeks fitness goals. đŸ’ȘđŸƒâ€â™€ïž

    At the moment I’m still focusing mostly on just working out a baseline for what I can actually do and what timing works out best. I have definitely lost a lot of strength since the last time I was doing exercise, I’m tired out by a very low level of work at the moment.

    The treadmill has been working well, being able to watch a video while I walk makes it much easier to motivate myself to get a few extra steps at the end of the day if I need to (and will definitely be much easier once winter hits). It also has a wi-fi connection to a phone app so I can create my own programs, so I’ve got a basic interval program to start with to try and up my capacity to be able to do some running as well. It does fold away really easily too, so I can also use the same space for doing my weights and it is still usable as a study. I
