Joey - we work full time yeah, but i work at home about twice a week, and she does about once. This is one of the main reasons why we dont already have one if
im honest. If my job were to change and I was needed in an office more often, that would mess it up totally.

JD - I'm not knocking anyone's choice (well, maybe the staffie/pit bull crosses and the like), I just don't see the attraction of the very big ones
and very little ones.

Chin there is a way round it and thats to choose a reasonably docile breed and get a pair, that would work fine clumber spaniels spring to mind but they are
quite rare these days
Dan M 2nd glad you took the time, I will spare you and wont get into my Cornish independance rant that everyone loves and fully supports on here |

My sister's dog is a lovely little Westy - trouble is, take it to the park for a walk and it enjoys not only rolling around in fox shit, but also has a tendancy to eat its own shit too. Don't tell anyone when it goes to give 'em a lick though .... |

You should never buy dogs in pairs, as they tend to bond together rather than to the owner/family, get one first then at around a year when the first is
trained, look to get another.

In fact, I'd be all in favour of building a fucking great wall across the top of Cornwall, and probibiting crossing of said wall with well positioned machine gun towers and a heavily mined stretch of 'no mans land' It would serve the dual purposes of keeping the Cornish away from the rest of us, with their ridiculous accents and habitual inbreeding, as well as substantially cutting the number of ex AA vans, caravans and other shite cluttering the M5 on a Friday as all the urban surfers and other assorted windowlickers head for the coast. |

Joey's right, we got Barry the lab as a pup & after about a year we added our Cocker Spaniel who was already 7months (brilliant dog but definitely high
maintenance...got a grass seed in his ear the other day, one vets bill later of 100quid.). They cant be without each other now and handy for during the day
when we're at work....though we have a dog walker come in lunchtimes to take them out for an hour (cost 6quid a day so cheap).
As long as any spaniel is walked enough during the day they are no bother but they do need their exercise and with a springer lots of it! Flash; lab is on Hills Science Plan, he isnt fat but there is nothing you can do to stop them always trying to eat something when out and about....sheep shit being his current favourite...

I'm thinking about getting a rescue Greyhound.
Anyone had any experience with them? |

Used to have a Bullmastiff. Loved that soppy fucker. When he died (put down due to cancer) the relief of not having the tie there anymore was immense. Would
never consider a dog again unless either me or the wife were at home full time.

Rotter63 wrote: Posts above pretty much covered it. My mate has a new lodger who comes with a rescue greyhound. Pros - Sleeps constantly Doesn't bark Doesn't need many walks Occasionally gets up, wanders round, has a bite to eat and goes back upstairs to bed - ideal if you kinda want a pet but not really! Fairly well behaved and certainly not troublesome. It's idea of disobedience is when called to stand there for a while then go to bed. Cons - Not exactly a fun animal. Very boring in fact. Can't sit - it either lies outstretched (taking up half a large room) or stands. Not the sort of dog to sit at your feet. Bit like Bellamy, quick us fuck but will run then limp for 3 days! Much more suitable for people in jobs than most dogs I would have thought. But not much fun. |

1. I find it really sad that if you go down to Battersea, or indeed most dog rescue places, they are full of Staffs, Rotts and bull mastiffs. Too many people
are too casual about what it means to own a dog.
2. In that vein, I will tell you that a dog is every bit as much a tie as having a child. Before getting one think carefully as it will affect all your lifestyle choices including how and when you holiday. 3. FYI Kernewik is pronounced "Kur-new-ik. I'm in favour of independence for Cornwall, Scotland, (especially) Yorkshire, Wales, Ireland and every other fucker who wants it. Providing a. Cornwall is duty-bound to take every bastard who has ever bought any surf-wear in their life. b. There is forced repatriation meaning us proper folk with a pride in Englishness don't ever have to listen to some cunt whose moved for the money moaning about how much better it is where they come from. We don't want you - you don't want to be here - fuck off... |

My Uncle has got 3 chickens as pets. Saving a fortune on petrol for his lawnmower.
When I was at school it got quite trendy to get terrapins as pets. Nick Snowden had an awesome tank and his mum used to make loads of chutney's. Terrapins and Chutneys, he was one popular kid. Thats about all I can add on the pet front. |

Moxy and Rotter lovely sentiments, we all want the same thing but for dfferent reasons, now Moxy I would quite happily take the suburban surfers on the
condition that if we get independance we dont have to adhere to the human rights act and can use the fuckers for target practice because I absolutely hate the
bastards (everytime I see someone in an Animal or O'Niel tshirt I want to pull there eyes out of their arse), caravans and tourists on the M5 well that
would be in your neck of the woods you could mahine gun the retards as they pass you at 40 mph (max) up to Exeter and we will take over from there and finish
off the few that get through the net
Joe its not a problem getting a pair if they are siblings |

You can appreciate my emotions each and every time I'm confronted by a "blunt" Yorkshireman (I call it "fucking rude") educating me on
how shit it is here and how great it is in Yorkshire.
And every single one of the fuckers I've met outside of Yorkshire has done it... |

I make you right Moxy, I worked with loads of northerners in the middle east and they all seemed to have a huge chip on there shoulders and like to think they
are calling a spade a spade when in reality they have absolutely no social skills at all, but my god dont they get offended when someone from the south does
the same its then reclassified as rude / ignorant
