Do you have a dog?

[NickT]

This was our last dog Merlin, Sadly passed away now and circumstances don't allow for another.

Fully agree with this, and it increases even more for cats (you can’t take them on holiday with you) and even more for chickens (cats can go in a cattery, but there is no such thing as a chickenery). I certainly wouldn’t be without our cat, but if you are not used to, and able to tolerate, the restraints animals can put in your life, you might not find ownership as rewarding as it can be.

KFC or Nando's perhaps ... ?

Ok thanks for the input so far guys!

spanner570 yes I first was against the idea of getting a dog for a long time, mostly because of all the restrictions. But in an attempt to make a pro/con list to convince the misses I slowly started embracing the idea, it will get us a lot more outside and bring some life inside the house, as we don't have any kids etc.

I've been reading and watching a lot of training videos since the start of the new year, so I hope we can make a good start this summer...
Cheers 👍

I know that’s a joke Steve, but trust me, if you saw the state some of the rescue girls are in when they are first rehomed you’d never go in one of those places again.

I really do know what you mean Tim, I'm glad you realised it was only meant in jest; i've been reduced to tears at the condition of some rescue animals I've seen. My two lovely Cavalier King Charles' Spaniels will never have to worry about that scenario!

We Just got Abby, she's 7 months now. Recommended investment if you're ready for having a new baby around the house.

Plus the added bonus of four tiny feet pottering about instead of two!

Always been a doggy family and now have 2 mental Cocker Spaniels 9 and 6 years old but no garden as they've destroyed it ????. Worth it TBH as they give the best cuddles ever!


As everyone's already said, a complete tie, needy, sometimes annoying (e.g. My lovely garden ????) but if you've got the time and patience, a life long friend and guaranteed unconditional love

These are our Cavaliers.......all are rescue, such lovely beautiful dogs (like everyone elses) who all had really shi*ty starts in life, but who are now living their best lives....

Hi guys,
Well, in august this year we drove home with an 8 week old Labrador puppy! Her name is Nora, by now she's 4 months old and very active. She's a 'field bred' labrador so her energy level is trough the roof. Lot's of happy moments, but as you might have noticed at the moment my bench-days are non-existing... She's a handful and barly sleeps during the day, so I can't focus on anything else but the dog and work...

I feel bad about failing to finish the AlanG memorial group build, hope to finish the fw190 in the future...

Here's a pic of the troublemaker,

cheers

Here’s our pooch, Ted 😊
He’s a Beddlington Terrier/Poodle cross and has just turned one year old. He’s a real live wire and very comical at times 😀

This was our 'Sid'... went to sleep on 19th March this year nearly 16 years old... Had been suffering with dementia for about 2 years.

Not had a new dog yet as we want some time free of the responsibility, but will have another in the future..

We have a local rescue for old dogs and most likely will be doing short term fostering in the near future..
