Cat offers with heavy petting

If this doesn’t work, you’ll requirement to escalate the situation, as well as I suggest dropping gentle hints. print out a guide to effectively petting your cat. Google’da Ara. There are tons of them online. as well as location that on her desk very first thing in the morning with a sticky that says, “FYI.”

Kedi 55 süremez

Sevgili Tabby: Eski hayatımda, uzman bir dublör kediydim, ancak şimdi emekli olsam bile, adrenalin için zevkimi kaybetmedim. Bugünlerde, parmaklarımı sürerek alıyorum. Birkaç lisansım var (Sınıflar A, B ve C), yarış arabalarını bile sürmek için lisanslanıyor.

Tek şey, kedileri geçerli lisanslara sahip olarak kabul etmeyen bir belirtime geçmem. Ne yazık ki, hareket halinde hiçbir durumum yok.

Ne yapmalıyım, tekir? Sürüş için coşkumum vermemeli ya da işçilerime hareketle karşılaşmam gerekiyor mu? – Hızlı ve Fremont’ta Öfkeli

Sevgili Hızlı ve Öfkeli Hızlı: ‘TIS, bir kedinin tutkusunu terk etmesini beklemek için acımasız bir şey. Pençe aşağı koymak için bu şansın yanı sıra, işçilerinizin bu yer değiştirmenin olmayacağını anlamasını sağlayın. Bir süre huzuru bozabilir, ancak sonuçta gelecekler.

Her zaman fethetmenin yanı sıra bölünmeyi öneririm. Önce tarafınızdaki en yakın güveninizi sağlayın ve o zaman o işçi, rütbenin yanı sıra dosya arasında soru tohumlarını ekleyin.

Her zaman olduğu gibi, senin sayılan teşekkürler sevgili Tabby!
