love to scran don't they? Ours has just had his usual food, with leftover roast beef and chicken, two slices of toast, and a pig's ear.
A menu fit for a king eh?

Mine has cereal for her breakfast. She loves it.

corn flakes or weetabix?

She loves them all, but had Cherios this morning.

I guess this dog loves a scran

OMG!! thats cruel, we had one of them when we were kids, lovely dogs

you had a hippopotadog when you were a kid?

Yeah called Spike (original eh? )

did it take you for a walk?

does anyone have that you-tube clip of an old woman flying along when the dog pulls her?

We had one of them last night........

We're thinking of getting a dog, just deciding if we have the time to look after one properly with us both being out at work all day.

But I have no idea how much attention they need or where I would get one from?

Maybe a good indication that you shouldnt get one.

But maybe that's why I'm trying to find out in advance to make an informed decision rather than just going out and buying one and finding out as I go along?

For example, I think that a smaller dog, eg a little king charles spaniel, would need less walking than an Airedale Terrier- but it's only an assumption based upon the size of their legs.

So where would I dig around to find this sort of info? Anybody got any tips?

No idea,one of my kids is allergic to dogs so I know we wont ever get one.

if you both out working all day Ripper i dont think its fair to have a dog, they need lots of attention and walks unless you gunna get a dog sitter like.

Agreed. I'm out all day, but my Ma doesn't work so is around. If she wasn't then I would take her to a day kennel or something.

I still think, after tonights bark fest around here that the vast majority of dogs are just useless, noisy, leeching nuisances and they're alright for a decent meal for the poor but what exactly do they bring to your life?? They can't talk, they don't drink, you'll never find one with a light when your lighters fooked and if all you desire in your introspective moments is a hairy face resting on your knee beseeching, 'fook how sad you feel, I want a piss,' and if you don't hurry up NOW then obviously it's all your fault, then usually a few halves of lager in a less reputable boozer can get you such a service and she'll piss where you tell her and not on every tree.

And you can tell her to fookoff home next day.

I'm not a big fan.

you can swear at a dog, argue till you blue in the face and it wont answer back. a bit like being on here really i'd really love a dog but wor lass is too lazy to take it for a walk while im out all day and the bairns asthma puts a block on getting one too but i'd have a one tomorrow if i could.

I hate all pets, especially cats. What's the point of a cat?

Agreed. I hate cats too. Horrible creatures!!

The Northern extremity of it's nose??

Oh I dunno I was round at someone's house yesterday where there are always loads of kittens roaming around and I had a great time poking at them and generally annoying them. And if they didn't like it they shouldn't have come back for more should they.

im not a cat fan they dont come in my garden

I always find that if you poke a cat well, it'll always come back for another poke.

And it's usually free.

That's 'cos you don't poke them well enough Timbo.

depends which cat the feline variety or The Pussy, one tends to cost more in the long run.

This one?

I miss my dog, he died almost a year ago....

To provide catgut?

Although they don't provide it, sure that's that argument ruined.

Mucky Mary's has the right idea with cats.

They're only any use in a Chinky curry.

Here's a story about a "chicken" curry I purchased one night from said establishment some years ago, and what I observed in the back alley on the way home, while I started to eat the curry with a plastic fork.
I walked around the corner to Young Street, and could see light projecting out into the back alley behind the shops in Murray Street. Only the establishment I had been in not 2 minutes previously, was open at that time of night - so I deduced that the light was in fact coming from there. In the light appeared a figure of a person putting food down, and also in the light were the shapes of two cats walking towards the food........................so the only conclusion I could draw was that Chinese people actually love animals after all

Anyway, I just carried on scranning my squidgy, brown "chicken" (the colour of it when you scraped the curry off)!!!

My mate's mother said two of her cats disappeared, never to be seen again - but at least we now know that they went to a good home after all.

My nana and granda used to live in Straker Street and shared the back alley with the shops on Murray Street.

When we were kids we used to play footie in the back street and I swear no word of a lie that we used to watch an old Chinky fella sat on the back step in a funny hat with a big net catching cats in the back alley.

At the time it never crossed our mind what he was doing it for.

they were going to a good home, Rip, don't forget!!!!!
