I would look for drinkable water, then look for food. Can't live long without water. I would also create a shelter. I would then make a message along the beach using vegetation in big letters in case a plane flew overhead. I would then have a swim if it looked safe and think of it as a big adventure.

yes Wuff it was extremely upsetting. I used to go to my car after every visit & cry & cry! My little guy is the apple of my eye & just the most fun lovable thing that even people who don't like dogs warm to. He's so used to being with people & having people fuss over him.Not the girls at quarantine though! You could see in his eyes he couldn't understand what he'd done wrong to be locked up & shunned & he used to howl & cry whenenver I got up to leave. The last week he was there he stopped eating. My 2 cats were rescues. My Maine Coon, Mr Bubba Coon was dumped at San Diego County Animal Shelter because he was the runt of the litter & deemed to be not big enough to be saleable. It was the height of the GFC. I brought him back to Sydney with me. My other guy, Spooky Cat is black & he & his sister were dumped at a vet in Five Dock here in Sydney aged 4 weeks. He stayed locked up in a cage at the shelter until he was 16 weeks old as black cats & tortys are the hardest cats to find a home for. When i took him home he just sat on the couch for a week because the concept of being free to walk about wherever he wanted was so foreign to him. He is the sweetest, loveliest little guy with beautiful yellow green eyes.

we have a "cosy cottage" style house where we have dormer windows in the 2 bedrooms upstairs with timber cathedral ceilings. Causing some problems with having wardrobes for clothes storage. In our spare bedroom downstairs we solved this problem by installing a built in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors. This room is right beside the bathroom so it works really well as a dressing room.

Steam boat..this is when I'm really really lazy.. you'd need to make some chicken stock ..ie add chicken carcasses with a brown onion into a pot of water and cook for 2 hours. Skim all the yucky bits that floats to the top.. then add 1 teaspoon of chicken powder and one of sugar to it..then fish sauce to taste.. the bean vermicelli needs to be soaked in warm water until the soften about 1/2 hour or so.. then it's a matter of chopping up vegies..and prepping seafood..slicing up meat ie beef..pork etc in my case I cheated and bought dumplings to go in with some mushroom and tofu once ready to eat pop the pot/steam boat into the middle of the table and then everyone can cook their own stuff.. or alternatively can blanch the vegies first..cook the meat and dumplings then lastly pop the vermicelli into a strainer and dip it into the soup water until it goes clear..only takes 1-2 mins and then pour soup over each bowl ..garnish with spring onion or coriander and whola dinner is served..
