Benno_bro Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hey Granddad (don't know your actual name hehe) Hope you are feeling better I'm bored too, so I'll share a little story of one of my dogs. Above pic is Skye (the wife's dog) Around 2am every morning she looses the capability to get on the bed, the lazy git and usually wakes the wife up to pick her up. But one night she came to my side of the bed, and I told her to 'bugger off' and jump up herself. She then proceeded to walk away (That taught her I thought) only for her to come back to my side of the bed with MY socks in her mouth. She then preceded to stare at me, drop the socks on the floor and piss on then with 100% accuracy! When done she went back to the wife's side of the bed and slept on the floor. Outsmarted by the dogs yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi Grand Dad! So how is it you got such a great grand-daughter who cares so much about you? That's what family is all about. I recently visited the UK, just before Christmas past. What a great country. Had a bit of a time getting used to cars on the opposite side of the road. Good thing I did not have to drive when I was there. Nearly got clipped by a car when I went to walk across the street. Got to meet Sarah and Marc while I was there. Spent a wonderful afternoon with them and some other members of this forum, along with their Huskies. Being in the hospital is not much fun. Just so you know, there's a whole lot of folks here that have never met you, and everyone of us is in your corner pulling for you. Sort of an extended family I guess. Just remember, grand dads are special, and since you are a grand dad, that makes you special too. Zoya sends Husky Hugs. Maybe Sarah could show you Zoya's Web site on one of her visits. There's lots of pictures, videos, and information on Huskies. Here's to your getting better, and getting to enjoy things again.

Sqwidge Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hey Grandad... I'm no good at these messagey type things...but i laughed lots regarding Clive's story about Skye... We are all here really hoping you get better soon, hospitals are not fun and the food sucks (well it did when i was a kid and in hospital for a month or more) so maybe Sarah and Marc can sneak you some good food?! Eika stole half our chicken last night, i don't know when my husband will remember not to leave food on the side and walk away...honestly! Right well i should be working, so i had better get back to doing something (well looking like i'm doing something!) Take care and we look forward to hearing you're out of the hospital and on the mend xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqwidge Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Have you spoken about the winter Olympics, although that's finished now... Um...how about all the scandals surronding the footballers (the Cole's/JT and Bridge...) don't know if he would care or not. You could tell him i'm moving house and still haven't got a date through of when we will exchange/complete?! Lol! Will keep thinking xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hello, Grandad ..... it's good to have a Grandad again! I remember when I was little, I could never say Grandpa, I said "Bampa" & it stuck ... so when I was a big girl of 6 or 7, I sat on "Bampa's" knee & in a grown-up conversation type of way, asked if he would mind if I started calling him Grandpa now? He smiled his usual big grin & said, no, of course not ..... so I promptly kissed his cheek, grinned, jumped off his knee & said "Thanks, Bampa!" Already forgotten & forever to be called Bampa!! If the human company ever gets boring, I'll send Diesel in, he'd give his right paw to sleep in someone's bed all day being petted! Only until you're up & about & heading home, he MUST come back to me then (I know what that grand-daughter of yours is like!!) We're all sending our Get Well Soon wishes your way, hope to hear you're well on the mend & giving Sarah some grief soon!! Sending our love, Val, Steve, Myshka & Diesel, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa (Fragglebabe) Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hiya Grandad, Sending our best wishes & husky hugs hoping you are up & about very soon & feeling better Just a little story about George our GSD who is helping our friends two border terriers improve their doggy manners. Bailey & Luca are two wonderful little girls but have no doggy manners at all. Everytime a fellow doggy comes over to say hello they snap, bite & make so much noise the other dog wonders what on earth is going on This is becoming a real concern to their mum Annette. We suggested to introduce them to big George who just wants to be friends with everyone he meets. Bailey, Luca & George have had two walks together up to now & George has put up with everything they have thrown at him with a wagging tail & Bailey is now happy with George because she knows he doesn't want her ball Luca is going to take a little more work, but big Georgie will keep going until she is his friend best wishes love from the Brown's Dave, Lisa, Jess, Jersey, George & Maia xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinville Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hello Granddad from Iowa, USA. I hope you know what an impact your granddaughter has made on the world! Who knew you would have grandchildren across the globe?!!! All who care very deeply for Sarah, her family and therefore of course, for you. I hope someday to be able to attend one of the husky camping trips and to meet Sarah and Marc in person. I know my old husky, Bo, won't be able to make the trip, but I will someday in his honor. I have just the one husky, but my dream would be to have a dozen! They are the most extraordinary furry kids in the world - always keeping us guessing as to what their next move will be. In Iowa, we're finally experiencing some sunshine. We've had a long, hard winter here and everyone is hopeful that spring will arrive soon. I work at a newspaper here and am patiently awaiting a call from someone, anyone (!) to let me know that their flowers are peeking through the snow. Ahh, wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Take care and give Sarah a hug for us and she, in turn will share one of ours with you! Becky and Bo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngieK9 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hiyah grandad (never thought I'd say that again) how ya doin'? Hope they're treating you okay. It's sunny here in Southport but cold, the dogs don't mind though. Here's some songs that should cheer you up: The Lancashire Hotpots (from me 'ome town Stellins) on Granada TV Chippy Tea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZo6qsJ5MZ0&feature=related Mek Us A Brew He's Turned Emo http://www.metacafe.com/watch/933395/the_lancashire_hotpots_hes_turned_emo/ The Beer Olympics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRATZEf4cBo&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky and Bo Here in the UK (or at least in our little bit of it) the snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils are poking their heads above ground. Of more interest to the dogs (as I found out this morning) is that all the squirrels have woken up from hibernation and are running riot in the forest. The dogs got quite distracted by the numbers of squirrels running across the trails today. I don't think I have ever had to shout "LEAVE!" and "On By!" quite so much!!

magical Merlin Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 hi Grandad, Hope your feeling okay today, I'm over in a little village in surrey. Its lovely lots of views and fields...actually thats pretty much it. Fields, veiws, 3 pubs, one church and a town hall. Sarah was telling us she wants things to keep you busy. We'll i've got a few storys but im not sure how intresting they are... Once when i was 17 I fell in a wheely bin. I wasnt drunk, infact i had gone outside to get the bins in the house and as i opened the lid to check it had been emptied i saw £5 in the bottom, so i leaned in...then I fell in. luckly i had my hands to keep my head out of the bin juice in the bottom but the weight of my legs was crushing me. A neighbour heard me shouting and had to come and tip the bin on its side to get me out. I was coverd in bin water, however i was £5 richer. I also seem to have problems with electrical goods. Espcially tills. I worked at sainsburys for a bit and every till they put me on would break! one night i cleared 6 of them before they put me on another section. I aslo have problems upsetting computers - the hard drives break and my satnav has now died a death too. The worst one is those electric doors that open with sensors. They dont read me. I have walked into several now thinking that they would open and they dont. I can walk back and forth on the matt, wave at the sensor and the door wont open. Someone has to come and assist me to get out of shops. Its very embarrising! I work in an animal rehoming centre as one of my jobs. Last year we had two pigs in. One night they escaped and we were all called into work to try and catch them! It was pitch black and we were running around our fields tryin to find them and the neighbours field to try and find them. We managed to catch one and had to wrestle it back into the sty and the other one we had to leave until morning. It then took 6 of us to get it into the sty and one girl was injured. It was alot of fun really. we'll I hope you feel better soon, and if you want anymore of my rambleings let me know. Best wishes to you Grandad.
