It is Christmas Morning for you.  Isn't that lovely.  Me too a bit later.  All around The World.

I got up and my cat wasn't beside me.  I called for her outside, and she came back in and now is asleep on the cushion I rest my arm on. The thought of losing her is my biggest fear.  How will I cope?

We talk to each other, she has a sort of sign language, and I use the same language to talk back to her.

Really?  I tell the Rotten Little Shit to pee outside but he completely ignores me.

I love all of my animals, but one is especially dear to me. He's an old lad now, and a pug (so not the healthiest of dogs) and I dread the thought of life without him, when he's gone.

It’s awful losing a beloved pet especially if you have had to have them PTS but that’s the tragedy, we will almost always be left mourning them.

I've shared most of my life with cats and found that the solution to loss is to have several of different ages so that I'm never without at least one. Given my age, I'm not sure I will share my home with any new ones

I bought my son 4 goldfish and one developed some sort of fungal infection. Flushing it down the toilet was not an option as it was in my day. We had a small tank which we used as an isolation tank and nursed it back to health over two months.
With cats dogs.. everything comes at a price..the love and affection they give you has to be paid for when you lose them. It's attachment and a source of suffering

Yes, a Merry Christmas and a Covid-free New Year to one and all.

Hope you get some decent presents, unlike me last year - a glow-in-the-dark loo roll, a 1960's dried-up Parker ballpoint which a relative had discovered at the back of a drawer, and a box of chocolate-covered Brazil Nuts with a 2015 use-by date.

I got a Ladycare fannymagnet because I'm such a moany old boiler.

I've got a new phone..it's really quite good. It's not actually new it's my son's old one . I bought him the latest IPhone and I've got his old one

My Christmas has been ruined since my next door neighbour announced they’re getting a puppy.  Great, just what I needed in my life.  Another yappy dog within 100 metres of my house bringing the total to 5.

You have my sympathy. My late mother in law lived next door to a pack of yappy dogs who ruined her later  life.
Fortunately I live in  a dog-free area at present.

It's inconsiderate people who are the problem who care only about themselves and not others

My dream is to live a mile from the nearest other house in any direction.  Neighbours and their DIY and their screaming children and their dogs are the bane of my life.

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas .
Very frosty here ...maybe a White Christmas?

So much is already so different to our traditional family celebration both tonight and tomorrow that a White Christmas would be lovely.
A peaceful and happy Christmas to all.xx

As you live in Scotland, you may get your wish.
Living south of the border, all I can expect is excessive rain.

I lived in the country in a farmhouse with no near neighbours. The wildlife were pretty vocal, especially the foxes. It sometimes sounded like murder was being committed in the garden.
