lol..always loved that expression..a night time saying from our mummy and daddy

[ttfn]

agreed - but as we get older and understand the basis of that saying it doesn't sound quite as appealing!

[lindapinda]

you know...!! I honestly never thought it through before!!...We were all lied too big time;-)

Things we were told as children! But I think the point of this is not unlike the way in which we speak to our pets - they don't care what we say - only the tone in which we say it. Comforting is comforting.

Night babes...you are a real animal person and that makes you a proper person in my mind;-)

That is a compliment in my book linda - thanks. Sweet dreams and ttfn

My cat had a nasty coughing episode last summer, between periods of coughing he was fine and eating well.

I took him to the vet (I felt stupid as he looked really healthy) and he was diagnosed with feline asthma (I know dogs get it too).

I don't think that it will be asthma - but it is worth taking him to the vet if the coughing persists.
