Hi my sweet @Bunniekins, how are you feeling today? What's the weather like in your little patch of Aus? We have a high of 21 in the 'Vegas today so if I am able to I want to spend time in the garden.
I am currently sitting with my TENS attached in an effort to alleviate my back pain that just won't leave. I've already served an eviction notice but nooooo, the pain refuses to leave!
Otherwise I am not too bad. I had a flu shot yesterday and I didn't sleep well, I think a combination of pain from the injection as I tend to lie on my right side and going over things in my head.
I am taking a trip to Bunnings and then picking up my Coles click and collect as well as repeat scripts for what my uncle calls his "happy pills"
Mal was a rescue and named by his former owners. He came from a backyard breeder and one of the cat shelters seized him along with his littermates so his start in life wasn't great. He was adopted by a couple who were trying to come up with a name for him and he would meow, but the way it sounded it was like he was saying "Maaal" so they named him Mal! The couple split up and the girlfriend had moved into a no pets rental and the boyfriend (lucky he wasn't there when I picked Mal up) suggested just letting him go free and let him fend for himself. At this point Mal had only been an indoor cat and the couple lived on one of the busiest highways in Perth so when his female owner reached out to a mutual friend I had no hesitations in taking him. He was 3 when I got him, he'll be 12 in August. He is my wingless angel and seriously an emotional support pet.
As for Dinah, I have too many pictures so I narrowed it down to my favourite. She was very young, between 1 & 2 when I got her (again from someone who had to move and wasn't allowed pets) and she used to chase her tail. It was hilarious and I wish I'd saved the videos off my old phone to my computer.
There is one photo of her with the notorious Loki - he himself was a legend in the 'hood.
Mucho loves and hugs 🫂💜💐🐾

@Glisten @TAB I really don't like pigs, especially pet ones. The only good pig is a spit roasted one. And bacon, pork roast...droooool!!
If I thought I'd be entertaining guests once my house is up to scratch I'd consider getting one but I can't really justify it.
But perhaps by then we'll all have moved to Tassie, we'll definitely need piggies there in winter!
