Any idea where exactly in Ibn Batuta? Did a store search and can't find it. Any other ideas for inexpensive kitchen wares? When Facing Geant go right and walk all the way down, you will see RAK Bank on your left and Daiso right opposite..

I think that is quite a lot per day although it depends on how quickly they work but all these things should be done throughout the week. I have done a list now of what things I want done each day. I told her this morning that I want her to do some more things and do things differently and she said I already do a 12 hour day!! I had to laugh! I have figured out a 9 hour day for her I don't think that is to much to ask for considering she has 2 days off a week?! Mine has 2 days off too, she wakes up at 8:00 am i leave for work at 8:15 when im back home at 5:30 she is already n her room and i find rooms of the house being forgotten, dust and dirt behind furniture, if i clean the house the way she does it will take me a max of 1 hr. i didnt say anything for the first 2 weeks, as maybe she needed time to settle in, but now its getting a little too much. We dont have children and we go to bed at 10pm, how much mess can we do in 4 hrs of being home? that she needs a whole day to clean it up.

We have almost 20 more pups and 2 mothers, we have started putting some pups in foster homes, as they are old enough to be separated from their mom, 1 of the mother has decided to let the other female adopt all her pups, so only 1 female is looking after all the pups, she is becoming very skinny from feeding almost 20 pups, if anybody could help in offering a foster home for the pups (hopefully in pairs) as it will be a lot easier, we would be more then grateful to you!!! We need to wait till all pups are in foster homes so we can spay the mothers and put them in foster homes too. PLEASE HELP!!

1 pup was found in sharjah and dropped off at my house last night, he is about 2 months old, very small. My other 5 dogs are not gentle with him, and cats attack him. Anyone willing to foster for a little while? Thanks

I might be able to help :) Is she ok with her pups around children? I've got 14 yrs and 11 yrs old DS's and an 8yrs old DD... We don't have any other dogs, but we were thinking to start fostering in the new year. Both DH and me grew up with dogs, and our children are quite used to dogs, as my parents have 2 beagles. My email: petraprinses at hotmail dot com Oh yes she is great with people...emailing you now.. x

Ah ok, Hmm she isnt spayed yet, my guy is young and lets politely say has hit his 'teenage years' and so is humping everything, so i would worry he would 'take advantage' of her...... Il run it by my husband and get back to you though as id love to help them out, esp over Xmas..... hehe, she wont be in heat for a while but yes, he might take advantage of her, and she is already a single mom, wouldn't want more babies...:) we are waiting till pups are a little older and will get her spayed!! Thank you so much!!

Hi Kristina, What happens to them come the 12 Jan? Do they have a home to go to? I have another dog that sleeps in the garden usually, a male dog, very friendly, is the mom ok with other dogs around her puppies? The current foster mom will be back and take them back, we havent tried the mom with other dogs, but she is not spayed yet, as she is still feeding the babies. She is very well behaved with people and allows everyone to pick up the pups.

Good Morning Ladies, We are looking for a foster home for 8 pups and their mom for 2 weeks over Christmas 26th Dec-12th Jan, if you know anybody willing to foster them they can stay in the garden we purchased a tent and some blankets for them. TIA http://s1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa383/Kristina_Romanova/?action=view&current=381910_264092546972202_106075079440617_703700_213895368_n.jpg They are just a little bigger now. :) <em>edited by Kristina_rmnv on 19/12/2011</em>

Just thought of updating this...after all the hard work i put in trying to get hubby to help me around the house...he REFUSED and got me a dishwasher and a maid 2 weeks after buying the dishwasher!! :D Yaayy!!! I WIN!! :D Some men would go to any lengths to get out of pulling their weight lolol and having a stranger move in to your home is winning is it ?? well, if it's what you want then it's a nice christmas bonus :D Well, cant be 100% happy, but fortunately our maids room is not attached to the villa, same as washroom and her kitchen. So im quite ok with cooking by my self and spending the evening on the couch with DH..

Hi Kristina You mention about not making much of a mess in point 4. Why not opt for a part-time maid then instead of a live-in one? That's what I do and it works brill. If you can arrange for someone to be home while she is cleaning up (week-ends maybe), you won't have to worry about keys, jewellery etc. Hum.. I guess this won't help much if you've signed up a live-in maid already! I'll let the ladies with live-in maids advise w.r.t your queries. I'd just say check on her references if available. (I don't sign in much here, and may not notice if you respond back on this note). We had a part time, but would love to try employ a live in because of our pets. And would like to have the house always clean.

Some shops dont deliver, and they wont deliver small items, depends what you buy... No, sorry too many shops there, its all divided i parts, so all the bathroom accessories you will most likely find in one part.

Yup, you are right! Sellers also breeders (in this case i know that you didnt intentionally breed them to sell them) so you are not really considered a breeder. But anyways its not allowed, and many people report this to the municipality, you could get fined and dogs will be taken away. So you could put them up for adoption!! :D

Hi kris, v live in a small 1-BR apt and poppy looks kind of big. never had a dog before in dubai so was wondering if it will be okay for him.... We also just got a small-medium size dog that is still at the pound, needs an urgent foster home. Looks very sad, has been previously abused for sure. If anybody is willing to foster him, please let me know, we are ready to take him out of there as soon as a foster home is found . Also im trying to find a home for a pure breed golden retriver, Male.

I totally agree with you and I wish I could convince my husband to get another dog (or even 2).... would definitely get them from K9 friends this time and I even managed to convince my company to sponsor one of their kennels. My dog in the UK (who sadly died 6 years ago now) was a border collie cross we rescued from Battersea Dogs Home... she was born with cateracts and was completely crazy but a lovely dog. Glad :) good luck with making your decision.... :)
