All the ongoing conjecture brings me back to my strong opinion, we currently lack the technical expertise to properly/efficiently develop our wonderful resource.
Enough of deal makers, ESG exponents & assorted other pussies, give me a team of impassionate geos & ginger beers to release the value which I know (or am pretty damn certain) is contained in our grounds!
As an aside it is the birthday of my doggie the true Lady Spoonington Woofalot today (4 feb if time differences cause discrepanciy). Despite any animosity towards me, you are all required to put out the flags & bunting to mark this auspicious occasion! She is a rescue doggy who was terribly treated as a puppy, she is getting a prime wagyu beef steak for her birthday dinner followed with daddy’s own recipe raspberry cake. Failure to properly respect the Lady will result in terrible consequences :)
Well done Spoonington for giving a dog who had an unfortunate start in life a loving home, I hope you both enjoy many years of very happy times together!
Last year things were really put in perspective for my wife and I when Harry & Sophie our two Bichon Frise both passed away , they were siblings and had lived with us since they were pups of 14 weeks old.
Harry developed Diabetes at age nine and Sophie was also diagnosed five months later so it was a case of two insulin injections each per day and as both developed cataracts from the diabetes, Harry went blind in three weeks of being diagnosed although Sophie was a year later.
Harry went to the eye hospital shortly after going blind because he was also in pain, He was operated on by a marvelous German surgeon the following day as one of his eyeballs was in danger of splitting, we were worried Harry would lose his eyes.
But the operation s a success both his eyes were saved, although he was long sighted in in one eye but the other had a plastic lens fitted and his sight was perfect in that one!
Both Sophie's eyes had plastic lens fitted and her sight was perfect , although after this procedure both dogs eyes needed two lots of Optimune eye ointment £55 a tube, two does of Yellox eye drops £17-£30 a bottle,so each month around £160 plus £150 insulin & needles, plus blood , urine tests & vet checkups for two dogs which should have been covered by their Lifetime Pet Policy, but that's not how RSA saw it!
We took part in BBC Rip Off Britain with Harry & Sophie concerning Royal Sun alliance the underwriters of More Than and many other supermarket pet insurance brands to expose the underhand tactics they use to avid paying claims and we were also in two features in The Mail On Sunday when we took RSA to the Ombudsman on two other occasions, and after a fight won!
So be warned stay away from any pet insurance underwritten by RSA.!
"Pet Plan" costs a bit more initially , but in the long run is far better and far less stressful!
But despite all the high maintenance each day, the costs, the fights with RSA I would give all my shares just to have those little dogs back again!
Giving them the right veterinary care meant we had Harry & Sophie were with us until they were nearly 14 years old and we still miss them terribly!
So cherish the time you have with your dog!
Some of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to “death”, don’t really understand this. I’ve had no desire to explain, but won’t be around forever and must.
Dogs never die. They don’t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say:” No, no, not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.” Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but that’s what dogs are. They walk.
It’s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacaphonic symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone ( exultation), and you. That’s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place.
However, dogs get very very sleepy. That’s the thing, you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. It’s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot.
When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging it’s tail madly, you see, and that’s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. That’s when they say: “Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.”
When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and that’s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, it’s a day full of adventure in an hour. Then you come home and it’s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.)
Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.
But don’t get fooled. They are not “dead.” There’s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when you’re not expecting it. It’s just who they are.
