Good morning peevers.

We're in for horrible weather today and I have to take my dog in for a minor op. I can't feed her, so I'm avoiding her til the last minute when I put her in the car.

How about that for a peeve?

When you have to be cruel to be kind.

Good morning Jezer! I feel for you there Jez! I love dogs the bigger the better! Now I'm stuck with these stinking cats. I love them too but they just beg you to feed them. They're all well fed and just eat, sleep, and you know!! They also kill all my lizards and generally create havoc outdoors. You know it's cheaper these days to take the children to the pediatricians. Guess that's another peeve!

Good morning, Jezer!



Is that the same thing as preventing a 3 y.o. from getting a sugar high, by forbidding him/her to eat any more candy???

Absolutely Sweetie Pie!

My dog is now at the veterinarians and the weather is appalling with localised flooding.

Roll on the Fall.

There is good news- my daughter's exam results.

Sometimes you have to though, to get your point across. Sad but true.

There's a play on words here I'm thinking but I just don't see it exactly

not always doing the right thing has the association of kindness attached to it

Good peeve Jezer!
