The Big Thing

Joey of Grumpy Joe's Pet Emporium.

His natural collection includes some rather lovely stuff for horses too!

"Tabitha, my second in command in the Joey Gang."

"She has this affliction with the big thing..."

"Keeps seeing pussy cats on it ... what?! I can't see a damn thing!"

"Yes, apparently they move about and pose in a posh way like Tabitha."

Our shop:

Oh, back to our horse stuff. Um, our soothing balm is in a small 15ml pot for you to try. Helps skin complaints. And our old fashioned solid shampoo is in Victorian chunks.

A Meercat

Joey of Grumpy Joe's Pet Emporium

Natural flea balms, soothing balms, dog shampoo for his animal friends who detest any form of chemical testing.

"Tabitha, my sister and second in command in the Joey Gang."

"She keeps remarking on her close resemblance to a Meercat."

Our shop:

Tabitha loves our natural flea balm as it doesn't make her feel a scardy-cat and run and hide because of nasty chemical smells.

Joey of Grumpy Joe Pet Emporium

Empire of all natural pet care.

"Got an itch ... just need to too.. yes, just there."

"Yes, hmm, that's better."

"Better check the cat house..."

"Tidy up around it a bit ..."

"Whoa, I need to diet!"

Grumpy Joe's bares all

Grumpy Joe after too many Weebox sticks

"PS, just learnt the mouse has been caught thanks to The Big Cheese trap and freed outside ...does anyone tell me anything?!"

"Where did they go for a holiday?"

2013-10-04T15:55:00.002+00:00

Mum and Dad left me at my Holiday Home with my sister Tabitha to go off on holiday, scoff.

I whacked Gonzo, a black cat, after he snuck up behind me and sniffed my bottom!

Tabitha run for the sofa. What a girl!

I stayed under the bed in rebellion - not that it made any difference.

So, while I was a stroppy pussy cat, my humans gave all there love to other animals...

Thornely House B&B, Allendale in Northumberland

Find the bear!

B&B for lovers of fine cats and fine gardens

Our pretty room

Eileen Finn's garden was featured in Amateur Gardener

The Garden

The Garden - perfect for a summer tipple

The gardens look fabulous and according to Mum are perfect for good little pussy cats like me. Lots of hidden areas and a babbling brook that Tabitha would love as she bug watches.

Oh, and there's Igor's Wood!

Another part of the beautiful garden

Whoa, who's this?

He's er, rather er, big ...

The Garden

The rivals for my humans affections...

Lang Lang - loves tummy tickles

Mistaslav - a shy grand boy

Sergie - The Boss ... er, like me

Very photogenic

Tigger - loves a fuss

Arklady - Hmm, looks a little like me!

Gilbert - a talented escape artist

Sidney - happy to tell you of Gibert's escape

Sergei

Spot the giraffe!

Ok, I get the picture.

They are back now and I am home.
All is good.

If you would love to visit Thornley House with or without your pet (like me, scoff) then please mention you came from Grumpy Joe's Pet Emporium.
Us kitties stick together.

Grumpy Joe is back from his holidays.

His shop is open.

Infact, instead of ignoring my Mum and Dad for sending me away for a few days, I have been a charming and loving pussy cat.

I am also feeling guilty as the live mouse I bought in prior to said holiday has caused umm, some havoc whilst we've all been away ....

Will continue to be a loving, kind kitty...

"I Know There's a Mouse in Here Somewhere."

2013-09-21T19:07:00.000+00:00

Tabitha keeping a close on her food.

She knows there's a mouse in here somewhere...

And she knows just who bought it in ....

(Grumpy) Joe pretends he doesn't hear...

The Week Past ...

2011-08-14T15:25:00.000+00:00

The Week Past....

The riots have stunned and frightened me as much as anyone else.   And the embarrassment that orders given to police were to stand there and do nothing! Hopefully the lesson will be a turning point for the Uk and children will soon have less rights, and England will have order and control, teachers and police regain respect rather than kids reciting their rights.   Peterborough, the city where I work, had more police on patrol by day. I backed up all data at work .. just in case.   I was thankful to return to my home .. a quiet rural village in Norfolk. But boy, the slightest noise outside unnerved me as my imagination ran riot! I worried about hubby working his nightshift in Peterborough town. I worried about Mum and sister who live locally.

                              Temperatures reached 28 degrees in out over packed, small working office. Oh well, at least better than 33 degrees it has been. Talk about tonic of helping you forget and practically fall asleep!

             DL flyers and a poster designed for Bath Bomb Creations forthcoming wedding fayre at Kirton and East of England Showground were finalised.   It goes to print now ....

                                                      Hubby has been busy making plum jam, plum sauce, onion chutney. All to be self-sufficient and save cash.

Saturday night we made wedding favour boxes .. well, gluing them together! Decorating comes next. These will be sample boxes on display at the wedding fayre, yikes!

                          Whipped up a new post for Bath Bomb Creations .. you know, Christmas and a 5% discount offer ... posting this end of August along with reviews that bloggers tried recently. approached the local Post Ofice Stores and community shop about selling the smaller gifts.... Post Office said yes! Community Shop has samples to look at. All sale or return!!

Harvester ... met up with best mate Sue for dinner and a gossip as we do once a month. Good to meet up and have a riot moan and groan!

                           Scrapbooking ... yep begun today and all went well considering I didn't know what I was doing! Need to buy more embellishments me thinks...

Gift Bags ... er, why oh why did I not pay more attention at school! Got a lot of practice to do. Shame to let all my lovely fabrics gain dust. Back to the sewing machine next weekend...

                               Tomorrow ... this weekend has flown. It's back to the 45 min journey one-way from home to work tomorrow. It shatters me ... and my purse. £134.9 a gallon!!!

Lost and Found Pets Worldwide .. added two cats in the last week. It breaks my heart.

Signing off ... hubby is in bed because he has a night shift and on Sky Planner is an episode of Medium ... see ya x

"PJ, my pal, fell asleep on 1st October. I miss him. I can't believe he isn't coming home anymore. PJ had 14 months with us. We all gave him love. He told me and Tabitha he was very happy with us.

Who will I whack on the head in jest? Who will get there own back and chase me around the garden until I squawk? Who will cuddle up with Tabitha? Who will chase her around the house?

We miss you ... all our love xxx"

PJ in the Sink

2009-08-28T07:22:00.002+00:00

"Err, we're not suppose to sit IN the sink. Especially at our Holiday Home. If only I could get up there ... I'd soon whip arse!"

"It's PJ's obsession with water, that's what this is. Is there fun in watching a tap drip???"
