DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The animals appear to be occupying at least 80% of the space 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 05/10/2026We've got to know people in there through their dogs; knew the dogs' names before we knew the owners'. Now we see them out and about with their hounds and stop for a chat. 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 03/10/2026My local is very dog friendly. Dog bowls of water available at all times and a jar of dog treats on the bar. 110
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Dreadful - particularly as there is absolutely no other way of getting around in London except by car! 0100
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 24/09/2026You would indeed - you'd not be able to resist those little furry faces and the sob stories they had! 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Aw bless! You've clearly taken great care of him; he looks the picture of health now. The rescue centre obviously knew how good you are with animals. Many happy returns to Laoch! 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 26/08/2026She was a kind and generous woman. Her bag of books initiative was wonderful. RIP Dolly! 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I thought it might have been Spooky! She loves her grandad. 020
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Our Mork sleeps beside me and wakes me up during the night for a cuddle. 020
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 25/08/2026My go to place for electrical goods! Very good service, and competitive prices. 000
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 20/08/2026In looks, he epitomises the Irish term 'a wee sleeveen'! 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 08/08/2026A very selective type of Christianity, that seems to overlook the concept of 'Love thy neighbour'... 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 28/07/2026As a friend and colleague once described someone we both knew through work - 'a professional brain picker'. The woman we was always asking us (and others) for info & ideas and copying our initiatives, but never wanted to share any of her knowledge/skills. 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Aw, one of the shy ones! Our Mork is shy and nervous, and usually runs and hides if anyone comes to the house. But he's very loving with us. Wakes me up in the night when he wants a cuddle. 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Aw bless him - he loves his Dad. But I am sure he was well looked after by your daughter while you were away. 110
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm old enough to have a free bus pass too, but I think this fare capping is a great idea, esoecially for those on tight budget. Also, oeople might realise it could be cheaper to take the bus than to drive and pay for parking. 030
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Does Angus stay with your daughter when you go on your travels? 100
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Hmm, our first cat was a neutered female, but she sprayed when she was annoyed or stressed 😒 110
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Our lovely local butcher sells a mix of pork and beef mince as 'ragu mince' and I've been using that recently. I agree that it's lighter, and I now prefer it in bolognese sauce. I add finely diced carrots, onion and garlic, so get 4 servings from 500g of mince. 000
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 17/07/2026She really does - so tiny and dainty, and great for 17! 000
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 11/07/2026They're coaching him in the answers to the test, aren't they? 020
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Maybe look into pet bereavement services/counselling, e.g. www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-loss-sup... Blaze was so much part of your life for nearly 15 years - it's no wonder you are grieving his loss.bluecross.org.ukPet Loss SupportIf you are grieving for a pet, or facing loss, our free and confidential Pet Loss Support service is here for you by phone, email or webchat. 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 07/07/2026But never lets that get in the way of him expressing an opinion on everything! 000
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Mork and Mindy, who are medium haired, have had far more tats and mats this year than they usually do. Some years seem to be like that! 000
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 27/06/2026As a little girl, I loved cars and would have adored this display unit. What a fantastic gift! 030
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 22/06/2026The whole system has become toxic; the media seem hell-bent on making life as difficult as possible for whoever takes over as PM. 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I still mourn cats that passed years and years ago; beloved pets always leave a pawprint on your heart. 060
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I agree! She'd already got on the wrong side of him by taking the Pope's side when the MM criticised the pontiff. The MM can't take anyone disagreeing with him. 040
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 18/06/2026The Irish 'Boys in Green' - sadly not at this tournament - are the same. They certainly enjoy a drink, but generally in a good-humoured, non-violent and inoffensive way. And the Scotland fans seem to having a whale of a time at this World Cup. 110
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Aw, look at them! Angus curled up right next to fake fur Blaze - bless! All three of you are grieving in your own way. Look after one another, cuddles together will help. 020
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I'm Irish, so talking to people on buses and so on is natural. And here in NE England it is the same. But once, in London, I offered to assist a young mum, struggling down steps with a baby in a buggy and a toddler by the hand. She looked at me as if I was mad or dangerous and declined all help. 000
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 15/06/2026They do this wherever they go - it was the same at the Olympics. Friends who have visited Japan have commented on the culture of taking your rubbish home and how clean the streets abd public transport are, 021
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Such a lovely gesture, and a great way to help Blaze's memory live on! 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 13/06/2026How could anyone think Angus is antisocial? He's a gorgeous cat, and he clearly loves his current cat-dad! 020
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 12/06/2026And that is proper community action - well done to yiour gf and the churches involved. 000
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 09/06/2026He fell on his paws when he was given to you. You are clearly a great lover of animals and a fantastic dad to all of your pets. 031
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Made this last night, using wholegrain mustard, as we enjoy the crunch of the seeds. It was delicious and as there are just 2 of us, I used less pasta and have frozen half the sauce for another day. Our local butcher sells nice Italian sausages, flavoured with fennel seeds, parsley and white wine. 110
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Such a gorgeous boy - it is plain to see that he loves his dad and his dad loves him. 010
DrElaine @drelaine.bsky.social · 08/06/2026This looks really nice. By coincidence, had just taken some Italian style sausages out of the freezer. I was going to make a bolognese-style sauce to serve with penne pasta, but might try this one instead! 010
