    @shannon_164 “Hello B&M, my name is theo and I would like you to do a pet sale so Elle will buy me lots of treats and new toys. I’ve lost all my balls on my walks so I would like her to buy me new ones so I can lose some more! Signed, Theo”

    Looking forward to the party, i love setting up and planning parties so I’m helping mum with all that.

    @shannon_164 Omg does he have his own little tent??? What a pretty boy, surrounded by all those daisies!!

    yeah leyla! i was in b&m at the end of summer a couple of years ago and they had all the summer pet stuff reduced down, the tent was meant to be £10 and it was reduced down to 50p so it was a must buy - it was such a good purchase too🙂
    I have the exact same tent for my dog @shannon_164 ! It's so handy for the summer because he loves sunbathing but I don't want him to overheat. We also got a cooling mat from there which does the job !

    i got buster one too @Katie - only issue is he manages to get a whole in them every year haha, i need to get him one for this year!!

    My girlfriend's dog is notorious for losing her balls and I don't want her to get in "trouble" so I have gone through many muddy lakes to retrieve her ball for her. My most devastating one was when I never found the ball and also had to throw away my shoes because they were SO muddy. So @independent_ I feel that, and Theo go on a walk with me because I will find 98% of balls lost!!

    That B&M deal is outrageously good, HOW can they sell it for so cheap??? @shannon_164
  • shannon_164shannon_164 Posts: 2,616 Boards Guru
    hearing stories like that @Leyla make me feel rather grateful that buster is a cat (who sometimes thinks he’s a dog) lol

    it was so good!! when i seen the stuff reduced so much and i said to my mum about it she was like “surely you’re not reading that right” and i deffo was reading it right lol get yourself to b&m at the end of summer (this was like late august / early september) for their pet summer toy sale!!

    @shannon_164 Omg I need to look up my local B&m I've actually never been to one before!! But with a deal like that, I don't care if it's an 1 hour drive, I've GOT to get some bits. Buster would do it if he was able to, I see the chaos in those eyes hehe

    I cannot believe he is rocking Crocs better than I ever could, what an icon. 10/10 furrshion-ista (ha, like fashionista, ha..)

    Is that your garden @shannon_164 ? It looks massive. Also nice cat btw
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,126 An Original Mixlorian
    @Leyla your first day at your new (second) job is today, and your job title is "ball finder"! It is paid at an excellent rate of dog cuddles and playtime whenever you want it. You have about 50 balls to find and you will make a labrador incredibly happy if you can find them! We counted earlier and he's only got 6 suitable ones left. We don't let him take the nice ones they're for garden use only lol

In all seriousness how are you have you done any more painting

    @independent_ good to hear you're all good. Dr Pepper or any soda is so nice and refreshing. Lol, I wish I could actually fix up your fence. Not done any more painting today, it was a few days ago, finished it but need to 2nd coat it all which hopefully should be quicker.

    @independent_ I'm so happy to have been hired for this role, I would be honoured to find the 50+ lost balls in order to make a Labrador very happy, this is my life's ambition. Theo, I would appreciate cuddles first thing tomorrow morning in return for my hardwork, I hope this can be worked into your busy schedule. Regards, Leyla
  • shannon_164shannon_164 Posts: 2,616 Boards Guru
    @Leyla buster is wondering if you would like to put your detective skills to work and find his toy fish too? he has somehow managed to loose not one, not two but THREE of them in a rather short space of time and needs a skilled detective to assist him🤣
  • LeylaLeyla Community Manager Posts: 655 Incredible Poster
    @shannon_164 It would be my HONOUR to find his missing toy fishes, this will be so handy for my career in assisting pets. Buster, I completely understand that you may lose these whilst having such a fun time, and it's my sworn duty to ensure you do not have to worry about when your next toy fish playtime will occur. Regards, Leyla

    Good morning all.

    @Leyla that can be accommodated. Theo may be busy but he always has time for cuddles.

    I’m washing his sofa blankets this morning so he’s about to be a very disappointed boy when I go remove them from the sofa and he can no longer sit on it.. but we cannot have 20 people round tomorrow night to sit on a hairy sofa now can we?

    We’re also meant to be getting an ikea click and collect order between 10 and 12. Well it was meant to be on Wednesday between 10 and 12 but they never turned up and it was rescheduled for today. All day Wednesday it just said “packing your order”. Guess what it says today? The exact same thing. So I’m not hopeful.

    In better news we’re going to collect my partner later, he was desperate to come for the party. So he’s managed to get an early finish from work so he can come up at 4.

    But in the meantime I’m supposed to be helping with the cleaning so what am I doing? Hanging out in my room dancing to tunes!

    @Rose113 omg good luck! They don’t like sitting still for pics do they. Theo likes to run off when the camera comes out :joy:
