Not listening...!

Hope that your weekend has gone well? I seem to have had a really busy week, both trying to get on with the decorating at home and getting cards ready for the Whimsy new releases, so unfortunately haven't got a card to share with you today - although I know I usually post one on a Sunday!
We've had a slightly chaotic weekend, what with the house being in a greater than usual state of upheaval and we've also got builders coming in 2 weeks so need to get things ready for them! And to top it all we've had fireworks going off for Bonfire night celebrations - which started last night, have carried on tonight and will (hopefully!) come to an end tomorrow! Now grumpy Poppy doesn't particularly bother much about the noisy fireworks - she just glares at us all as if we've personally disturbed her. But unfortunately Tilly the Dog really isn't very keen. She doesn't have full blown panic attacks thankfully, but she gets quite stressed and paces about the lounge and tries to sit on your knee (all 24kgs of her....!). But just thought I'd share a couple of pics with you - when my delightful offspring decided they'd found a way to help her overcome her fear of the 'big bangs'....

Poor Tilly!  Lauren had worn her ear-muffs when they went out to watch the firework display at the nearby Castle (as it's definitely on the cold & frosty side here!) - but her and Jack decided that they suited the dog better.  I have to say, Tilly seemed quite content to wear them too! 
Hope that's made you smile.  If you ever need a smile, do have a look at some of the great pics people email to me that are on my 'Smile' page!
Back tomorrow with a card!

  1. I love that picture Kim could do with those earmuffs for my cat, she's hiding under the covers at the minute. Hugs Caroline xxx

  4. Oh my word - that is one brilliant picture!! Love it! Where we live there are hardly any fireworks let off close by, so we don't really get a lot of noise.

    Also the one cat that fireworks really bothered unfortunately passed away a month or so ago - so no looking under the sofa; behind the chair; under the bath; in the cupboards for putty cat for us any more!

  8. LOL I can't believe she left them on. Maybe I need to try that with my pup. She's scared to death of loud noises. :-)
