Our cat Bugsy has been missing for months and months (can't remember exactly when he disappeared) he went within a week of Sarah also going missing, Sarah has come back, Bugsy didn't :(
Sam was peddling back from school through a nearby village (i won't let him cycle on the main road as it's so dangerous) passing a house he saw a cat that looked very much like Bugsy watching him through a window, Sam went to investigate and knocked on the door, the house belonged to an old lady who told Sam the cat had turned up in her garden and then made himself at home in her house, when Sam pointed out it was our cat she became very sad saying she had become fond of him, she told Sam she had no pets since her dog had been put down last year, when Sam came home and told me he had found Bugsy and without me hearing the full story i was all set to go and bring him back, Sam was against this "mum, she needs him more than we do, he must have sensed she was lonely and went to keep her company" we decided to let her keep him if she wanted, Sam collected Bugsy's sleeping basket, his toys, and at least half the cat food in the pantry >:( with the basket propped under his arm, the carrier over the handle bars he set off, the old lady was delighted :) she had one worry though, she told Sam the reason she didn't get another pet after her dog died was that she was worried it would outlive her, "if i die Sam, they will be no one to look after him"
Sam told her "when you die just come and tell us and we'll take him back to the farm"
she must have a sense of humour, she patted his hand and said,
"when i die Sam, would you like me to tell you before or after?" :lol:
Sam has been taking longer than usual to cycle back from school, he's been stopping by her house for tea and cakes........................
-
Awwwww that's so sweet :)
Your children are fantastic Rom :D
Sarah :)
-
Ahhh ... that has got me a bit teary! :) He's a good lad. Unusually observant too ...
-
Thats wonderful - I hope they both (all 3!) continue to get lots from the relationship.
-
we can spot Bugsy a mile away, i think Sam stopping off for tea and cakes might have something to do with the fact Pip has almost finished the mucking out by the time he gets back ::)
-
Thats such a sweet story. :)
So I guess there's a vacancy for one of Cara's cats in your house now? :lol:
-
i knew someone would say that :tongue2: i don't think here is a suitable home for Evie, i think she needs a quiet house where she is the only cat, here she would just get chucked in with the rabble, plus she wouldn't get the attention she needs as we have so many animals, it wouldn't be fair on her.
-
Lol! :tongue2:
She wouldn't stand a chance here then either!
-
What a lovely ending, Bugsy safe and sound and Sam being the total gentleman and looking out for an elderly lady :wub:
-
Sam say's at least she knows his name now and can stop calling him cat :D
-
I tell you what Mrs. You ain't 'arf brung him up well! ( Despite the fact you are barking mad) ;) :lol:
What a lovely lad he is, if he was mine, I'd be so very proud :wub: :D
Another little story to go in your notebook, for that best seller we keep telling you to write and won't! ::)
-
:D :D thats brought tears to my eyes reading that are you sure that wasnt something out of a film clip :lol: :lol: sorry but you never ever really hear of stories liek this nowadays its truly wonderfull .
-
:) A lovely tale :)
-
i suspect life on a farm isn't what it's cracked up to be, first some of my chickens decided they would rather live at the farm next door and left home :tongue2: when they eventually came back they brought one of Kaths chickens with them, then they left again and left Kath's chicken behind :D Bugsy was done, Carrie and Harvey are yet to go to the vets, she couldn't have got attached to one of them, oh no, with Bugsy sorted he ups and goes to live somewhere else ::) if i'd brought him back no doubt he would have gone again, the old lady only lives about 1/2 a mile from us, makes me wonder who's fire Tiger Lily is warming herself in front of, she dissappeared a year ago.
-
Thats a lovely tale, i wouldn't have been so sensible or sensitive at Sams age- i'd have just wanted my cat back.Tell him we all want to smother him in kisses for being so nice[bet he'd say YUK] :lol:
-
What a lovely story TMG. And obviously all that rabbit-shooting has had a beneficial effect on Sam since I can't see any lads I know (especially the ones who skateboard up and down my road in the middle of the night) being that kind or thoughtful.
He sounds a great lad - you must be proud.
Perhaps you'd better getting him jogging around the farm (this is so exciting - I've never talked to anyone who lives on a proper farm before - honestly). I know what old ladies can be like (I am turning into one) - she'll fill him so full of cake he won't be able to cycle home!
I see Vember said your "children". How many do you have?
-
yes it is amazing how your children have turned out considering how nutty you are :lol:
Well done Sam :D

i was blessed with 4 children, unfortunately i only have 3 now, James is 18 and at college, he lives with his girlfriend in Liverpool, my kid's are ok only because i'm nutty.
Sam only wears his halo on tuesday's and thursday's the rest of the week he's a regular kid, he can be rude when the moment takes him (he called my dad an old fart last week) and probably the only reason he isn't skateboarding on pavements is because there aren't any round here ::) he has his good points too, he's horrible to Pip on a regular basis at home but defends her to the last at school :) and he did buy her a puppy for her birthday, while i was typing this post he came striding into my bedroom in his boxers "mum, is this normal?" i looked down at his legs and said "what?" he then pointed to his thighs "them" "Sam they're muscles, probably from you cycling up that hill from school" "oh so they're not tumours then" no Sam they are deffo muscles" "oh i thought they were tumours"
Sam, go cover up your tumours will you before they catch cold.............................. :lol:

Oh dear..that made me laugh.. TMG are you sure he was pointing to his muscles? :unsure: :lol:

Lovely story! :D i also wondered where the tumours story was going!? :lol:
bless him! Thomas my nearly 11 yr old had his hygeine and puberty talk at school just before half term! now he thinks he knows it all! tried telling his little sister about it too :ohmy:

when Pip was 11 she had her talk on puberty at school, she had homework ::) when i looked at the weird diagrams and words i'd never heard of, she explained "this is what happens when you get pregnant" i told her "not to me it didn't" :lol:

Jacob had his lessons about the world of growing up before half term Debbie as well. :lol:
It certainly is a lot more detailed than what we were told at that age!

TMG, you have to be nutty to have four children. I can't cope with one sometimes!
I have two step-children and I remember my (now) Hubby saying to me before we had Annie that I had no idea how much hard work children were and I waved him away "Yeah, yeah, whatever...". But I think the relentlessness of parenting is something that parents don't really tell non-parents about. Or no-one would have any more children!
Don't get me wrong, I love Annie but nothing on God's green earth (or anyone else's green earth, for that matter) would make me have another one. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!
Sam sounds very entertaining though :D
