Kennel Hell...

Advantages: Dog will be cared for
Disadvantages: Might not...

...the animal residents you see are well cared for with a readily available fresh water supply, comfortable bedding and a clean, warm and dry kennel. Don?t worry too much if some of the animals look a little depressed or overexcited, they are separated from their homes and families after all. Obviously, the most important thing when leaving your pet is that he or she will be adequately cared for, but what about? ~The cost of kennelling your pet: Costs vary throughout the country, and even from one local establishment to another. I live in the South East of England, where in my opinion prices are very expensive, ranging from about £8 to £11 per night for a dog (depending on size). Don?t immediately assume that the most expensive place must be the best, likewise, don?t choose a kennel simply because it?s the cheapest, they may be skimping...

KENNELS

Advantages: Works
Disadvantages: none

...A major problem that i hear from alot of my friends when they are going on holiday is that their dog's don't like the kennels and get very clingy when you have to leave them well i have found a bizarre way but it works for me. You see since we have had my dog we have not changed the living room carpet (shag pile) but just before we went on holiday last year we laid new carpet so i kept some back as a door matt and me dog loved it to bit's and always fell to sleep on it. Well the next time we dropped him at the kennel's i was rushing around the house trying to get all his bit's together when i for some reason noticed the bit of carpet and shoved it in a bag. When we got to the kennel's i took him in and he did his usual cowering i wanna stay thing then i removed the bit of carpet from the bag and placed it in his cage...

Trust your instincts...

Advantages: Dog is secure and it's better than letting her roam the streets fending for herself.
Disadvantages: Quite a number unless you find a decent place.

Mew has been on holiday!

Advantages: Clean, comfortable, Mew is well looked after
Disadvantages: I miss him!

...box and whilst we were chatting to the owners about their holidays they happened to mention that they had to take their cat to the cattery so I asked which one they used. I thought a recommendation would mean that Mew would be safe and happy in his holiday home for a fortnight. They said that they used a place called Tal-y-Cafn Boarding Kennels & Cattery at Tal-y-Cafn, Colwyn Bay, North Wales LL28 5RY. I found the place on Google maps and we drove out to find it. The cattery can be found on the A470 Llanwrst Road out of Llandudno. You just take a left fork after the Tal-y-Cafn Pub and it is at the top of the drive. The phone number is 01492 650929 and the e mail address is info@talycafnkennels.co.uk although to be fair I did mail them with a query and they didn?t answer so I had to ring. They have a website at www...

Suck it up baby!

Advantages: 3 sizes in 1. Should stand up to teething
Disadvantages: Remembering to line up the right number

...was the size we were moving away from but should I choose a size 2 or 3? In the end I chose the cop out option and opted for Vary Flow Teats. The Little Angels Vary Flow Teats are from Asda's own range and while I'm sure there are many branded vary flow options I didn't want to spend too much money in case they didn't turn out to be suitable, but at 99p for 2 silicone teats I didn't mind if the experiment failed, at least I wouldn't have wasted lots of money in the process. The Vary Flow Teats are made of quite thick clear silicone, thicker then on the cheaper size 1 teats I'd been using, and have a decent sized teat on them allowing baby to get a good purchase enabling them to suckle the milk easily. The hole for the milk to flow through is unusually designed with a small hole in the centre with 2 small slits coming off either side...

Great book for people with varying cooking skills

Advantages: excellent pictures and instructions
Disadvantages: bit pricy at face value

...of ingredients and steps which makes me think that the rookie's maybe put off but overall it is a good read and makes you want to try out some new dishes. ***MY SUCCESS WITH THE RECIPES I think I have tried about 6 recipes that I hadn't before with varying levels of success, as well as a few different ideas to dishes I already cook; such as using crackers for binding burgers, instead of breadcrumbs that I normally use. ***PRICE At £25 on the inlay I think this is a tad expensive, I mean how am I going to afford it as well as 7 meals a week for a fiver? Luckily as this has been out a while you should be able to pick it up much cheaper now than face value. I would recommend anything between £10-£15 being about value for money. OVERALL In summary this book has lots of good things going for it. It has all the things you want...

Varied & Fantastic for this season

Advantages: Varied in songs, 44 Tracks, Easily available and good price
Disadvantages: Some songs are repetitive

...I recently got Now That's What I Call Music! 68 as a small gift for my birthday and have to say I haven't stopped playing both CD's ever since. The album is a compilation of the latest singles released in the charts over the past couple of months. The CD also varies in the type of music, with both indie and pop, although the majority is pop songs. Now! Cassettes and CD's have been around for a long time and I remember the first cassette I bought was Now That's What I Call Music! 35 with songs such as Hanson on it. This particular album was only released on November 19th 2007 so is very new to the album chart and is the 68th edition (UK). The album consists of two CD's with disc one having 22 tracks and disc two having 22 tracks as well. At the moment my favourite disc is disc one as there are more of my favourite songs on this CD...

Somewhere between Cheb and Prague...

Advantages: Easy to get to, cheap, and fabulous scenery, plus the spring water is good for you!
Disadvantages: The newer parts of town are not very welcoming

...Although you may not have heard of Karlovy Vary, it really is one of the most picturesque destinations in the Czech Republic. Prague grabs the headlines, along with the bulk of the tourists, and the only people who seem to have heard of this spa town are the Germans, who know it as Karlsbad. This is because it was founded by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles (Karl) IV in 1358, but the many Teutonic tourists are also drawn to this town to take the waters, and see the places that Goethe, Schiller, Beethoven and others frequented. Karlovy Vary is just 50km from the German border, and is very easy to reach – cross over at Cheb/Eger and just follow the signs! As you cross the border, be prepared for a bit of a wait, as this is just a dual carriageway and there is normally a long queue of lorries waiting to cross over, which can lead to...

...months to be accepted. All UK Freecycle groups use Yahoo Groups functionality and to be able to benefit from membership you need to have a Yahoo ID. You don't need to use Yahoo email, though, as any email address can be used to receive group messages. All groups have designated admins who monitor the messages to lesser or greater extent. Some are fully moderated, some are partially moderated (i.e. new or unruly members are moderated only, some are unmoderated). The rules of posting also vary from group to group: some allow animals, others don't (I have no idea why, but as I have no interest in recycling animals, it doesn't bother me either way). Some groups have rules about number of WANTED posts members are allowed to make, or other conditions on such posts. **OFFERED** The way Freecycle works is very simple: members post messages to...

Sometimes on a Day - varying moods

Advantages: see op and decide
Disadvantages: see op and decide

...earth and being me This is the complexity of my varying moods Sometimes a dried up husk Sometimes a butterfly But always, above all else ME....... This was written on a "dried up husk" day and discribes my emotions and how, sometimes they can rage against each other!! Feels good to write it down and get it out. This was written with my partner Allan in mind as he often has to put up with my varying moods and "dried up husk" days. I know on those kind of days I am not the most pleasent person to be around but he does well with me!!!! so a big THANK YOU! Opinions on this op will be appreciated as it is a new one for me. I used to write a lot but somehow it got lost along the way and I am gradually rediscovering it again which is great as I really do enjoy this kind of creative writing....
