Oh shame! Our one was a single child, she just wants to play with everybody - one person called it 'unsocialized'. Don't know how more social can you be
And yes, the cat game. And chasing shadows, lights (the little light machine we have for our cat), attacking and eating bees...many many interesting things in this world to do They are the best dogs to me

Already into flasking! Though only stem propagation for now - I'm trying Roby's gaseous sterilization. It's more for fun and experimenting (I just finished my horticulture certificate, so trying new things like this is a no-brainer for me )

It's almost like orchids - everybody says how difficult they are, but in reality they are wonderful plants, you just need to know how to take care of them. Well, the bullie is then one very ugly orchid Just kidding, she is so adorable, our little rat tank, as we call her

☺ maybe one day! Sounds scary to me for now though! Im really enjoying my orchids and find them just fascinating, such a diverse plant and i love the blooms and the big leaves on my phals. Maybe if i read more on that i could give it a go ☺

Lol totally this is why iv never had orchids before just admired from afar as all said dont waste your money it will die its pointless.......well like the puppy i went ahead and am enjoying the challenges and the rewards and even better she doesnt take an interest in the orchids......usually if something new enters she 'samples' the taste!

Well, the border collie puppy has a new nickname - the cattleya murderer...says it all. The bullie comes, sniffs the blooms (she has a horrible nozzle, can't sniff a thing), you can see how she smiles and thinks 'sooo pretty', wags the tail and walks away Such a gentle soul.

The cattleya murderer and the zygo psycho......im defos seeing a movie here 😊 teeeheeeeheee
