this is why we do it, I forgot

this is me and thug in the autumn of 05, i forgot that my uncle had taken this picture, he sent it to me last week.

anyway i've had a rotten year with poor old thug, starting last december-he's not been 100% happy in himself for the whole year.

during winter he got bruised soles x 4, holes in his front feet x 2, lost shoes x a million (that's what it felt like),

summer came and his teeth were hurting (one wolf tooth), making him go really bent to that side, got that sorted. he still felt a bit unlevel and i don't know if its the one sidedness or his hocks!

but it's been just low level pain all the time. got quite depressed about the poor chap, he always seems miserable

so it was a real boost to get this pic, when he was healthy and happy and we were having adventures

hopefully his run of bad luck will come to an end and he'll cheer up again. this pic gives me a reminder of what to hope for, if you know what i mean.

moi? a grump?

well i'm starting to exhibit the signs i must admit.

they read out a bunch of things you do when you reach grumpy old woman status on the radio, and yes, i was thinking "oops i did that yesterday etc..."

i love it :D

[jenren!!]

Haha, i just love the phrase 'grumpy old woman', and tend to use it on alot of people. But honestly, the thought of you sat on the sofa with a cup of tea and a biscuit attracted that phrase :D.

[cazrider]

It is a lovely photo TB.:D And, as you said to W'jit, just keep the faith, and I'm sure he will come right, and you'll be able to have moments like that again. Big boy isn't he, unless you're about 4ft 10.

[The Flying Irishman]

erm no, thats not what I meant:p

You look really young thats all, not at all wizend{sp} like me

Lets hope that 2007 is a good year for thug and all things come good for him.

P.s. You don't look grumpy at all. :D Btw, I still imagine you to look like the blonde 28 year old friend I once thought was you! :p

[teabiscuit]

, the thought of you sat on the sofa with a cup of tea and a biscuit attracted that phrase :D.
you've been spying on me :D

It I'm sure he will come right, and you'll be able to have moments like that again. Big boy isn't he, unless you're about 4ft 10.

damn, i should have paint shopped me mush out of the pic, curses!

[Whatanejit]

Awww!

Poor boy TB - I have missed the story on this boy.

He is gorgeous and I love your jacket!

I love that picture Biscuit:) You both look fabulous:D This thread made me laugh because for a while now I have laughed when I have seen pictures of people and then realised that their user name conjured up an image in my head of what they looked like and then when you see the real person...they are nothing like you imagined: :p
I have wanted to start a thread about that in the cafe area but figured that some one, somewhere would be offended......then I'd get banned :eek: :D

i know exactly what you mean, it would make a fantastic thread though :D

i would love to know what Peanut looks like, come on Peanut, post us a pic :p :)

[cazrider]

I must admit I'd pegged you as older than you clearly are. It's that tea and biscuits image your name conjures up.:o

[julia gulia]

I imagined Teabiscuit as a 4 ft 2 inch jockey with large racing goggles sporting bright orange racing silks with a very large T on the front:p

Lovely pic, TB - he is a beautiful boy. Hope the new year brings better health for him and lots of fun together :)

[teabiscuit]

well i don't know, sitting on a sofa eating biscuits and drinking tea sounds a fine way to spend time :cool:

i'm not a midget, i'm on a slope, honest :D

and Jules, how do you know my racing colours? :p


thanks to all for wishing thug well, hope those famous NR vibes do the trick :)

[julia gulia]

I just knew it!!!!!:D

[NoviceNic]

What a stunning boy...:) I am sure next year will be more positive for you both..

[Little Dolphins]

That's a long old journey you're having with thug, T'bic! I bet it's hard sometimes, keeping optimistic.
But you're right, that's a fab and happy photo. Put it somewhere you'll see it often (like on the 'puter:D )!

I love your name, it makes me think of dunking Rich Tea in a cuppa, which is a necessary part of living.
You need a big cup, or first take a bite, as I'm sure I don't need to tell you. McVities are good, but they do tend to melt and fall off into the dregs.

BTW, Do you dunk Oreos in the US, JG?

[julia gulia]

Actually...I don't like oreos L.D. too sweet for me....I love to dunk my digestives though:p

Ginger biscuits are the best for dunking. Makes my mouth water just thinking of them. :o :D

[Peanut]

i would love to know what Peanut looks like, come on Peanut, post us a pic :p :)

Fortunately I have the excuse of not having a digital camera. So I'll leave it to your imagination. :p

Rich Tea - gosh that brings back memories - they were my favourites biccies when I lived in London (91-93) soooo long ago... we don't get them here in NZ

Tea Biscuit - I hope he comes right soon...wish they could talk hey! Be alot easier. :)

Gingernuts - we get them here - yummy for dunking because they are rock hard so don't fall off - oh unless you are my OH who leaves them in for so long they do! Then he tries to dunk them in my coffee :p
