My dog loves playing with a ball on a rope. She gets the rope in her mouth and shakes her head wildly so the ball goes round the back of her head and hits her on the back of her neck. I've never seen another dog do anything like it. We have noticed that now and again they disappear so OH makes her new ones out of a tennis ball and a bit of rope.

 

DD bumped into a neighbours granddaughter today who mentioned that she keeps seeing balls fall into her gran's garden and throws them back over the 6 foot fence. DD asked if they're on a rope which they are, so as we suspected when the dog lets go of the rope and throws the ball around the garden herself they go over the fence. DD's friend couldn't believe the dog was throwing it over but thought it would explain why no-one said thank you when she threw it back.

 

I'll take a video of her doing it one of the days and post it up. It has to be seen to be believed!!

 

We used to have a collie/whippet cross that would attack the bags as we came in from shopping, tear out the tins of dog food then shake them to 'death' so violently that you took your life in your hands just by being in the kitchen. I won't even go into the carnage that occurred when my Mum thought it would be a good idea to try that dog food that comes as a sausage in a plastic wrapper.

lol we had a cross staffie/jack russell he was as mental as a box of frogs....i used to have a 6 foot cane with a little thing tied to the end of it and make the dog chase it round in a circle as I held one end he'd chase the other as I spun around and he used to run in such tight circles at times he'd not bother the use his front leg that was nearest to the ground to the turn...."hard to explain what I mean here in written words" but it used to make me laugh so much and for a short legged dog he could cover some ground he was totally off his box.....he used to just flip in the rear garden at times and just run at astronomical speeds for such a little dog and then just like that he'd stop and look about and look back at us and wonder why we were all peeing ourselves laughing ...he was a nutta lol.....my boys named him Riley due to I'd began calling him "big issue" due to he'd came to us in a big cardboard box

I remember soap on a rope - back in the 80's Marks and Spencer used to do a range for men which had a soap on a rope - it smelled gorgeous. I used to keep the rope after the soap had gone just so I could still smell it.

Many years later after hubby died, I found one of those ropes and the smell was still there - really strange, felt like he was stood behind me.

[burlyb]

ahhhhh Ellenn a big hug wing-ing it's way to you x....I found a little bottle of youth dew a few years ago that Sue used to use and it had the stopper still in so I took it out and that smell was there she was there in my minds eye...big hug again x

a friend of mine was a hod carrier to a gang of really gobby brickies some years back and one brickie said to him once to hold onto the brick line and so he did then the brickie said hey look ....dope on a rope ....when Rob told me that i was fuming and said well one day mate i hope you can show him who the dope was....Rob now owns a really successfull scaffolding firm and no doubt will be bumping into that brickie sometime

Libby's got through a few of them, but we've found they're best without plastic. Best of all are the one's my husband makes with a tennis ball and ..... well you can guess the rest ... Give her a ropeless tennis ball and it's useless and loses the felt in no time and is then in bits, but if she can shake it about it's fine.

 

The best thing about Brut was the advert's. Splash it on all over! Unfortunately many men took our 'enry at his word and could empty a room in seconds when they wafted in.

 

Funnily enough I found an old bottle of Coty L'Aimont the other day which was one of my mum's favourites. Isn't it funny how smells bring back memories.

It's my Mum's favorite too...in fact, I still buy her a gift pack of it every year for Christmas. I can still remember the smell wafting over me as she left with my Dad to go and see Jonny Matthis at the NEC.

 

Lovely lady my Mum, but her taste in music made me glad to leave home.

I think your Mum's taste is a tad better than my Mum's was. Val Doonican, Perry Como and The Bachelors were among her favourites!!

There is a Croc Appreciation Society on Facebook. My first post some months ago was a link to the definition of a crocodile because the description of the group is "everything croc related".

 

This morning, I said it's tempting to post pictures of crocodiles. The admin then threatened to use the Remove from Group button on me...

[burlyb]

theres an online live feed "pardon the punn" gator cam connection to gatorland zoo "the cam is right next to a board walk and walkway that goes over a part of swamp where the crocs and gators lay in wait for any morsel of burger that may happen to drop in" we used to drop ice cubes from our drinks into the water and watch they go divy when they discoverd they had been tricked :lol: I have a go on it now and then when I miss florida
