I think lolz are good for you, yes.

I live with three cats and they are great little pals, each has a distinct character, I don't know what I'd do without them.

It's funny because I had no pets for most of my adult life but had to rescue a couple of adults and three kittens about four years ago. I ended up keeping the two adults and then another lost soul who joined them not long after. They sort of moved in and took over, I don't think I own them, more like they tolerate me in their house. If they could open tins themselves I'd be obsolete.

I suppose that is my problem with cats. The attitude they seem to have of "I can do it myself, thank you! I don't need you" Well, that and the claw issue when they are settling in your lap. I don't hate them, but have always had dogs, who are more needy and fulfill my mothering instinct. Cats are very useful when there are mice, however!

Cats are far more independent and don't do a thing you tell them but that's mostly why I love them, they're free spirits. Dogs are better company and more friendly if you don't mind the upkeep, I wouldn't be bothered with all the walking business. I had a dog when I was a child and he was my best friend, I don't think I could replace him.

Here's another lol for you

Suzi - it sounds like you really want a dog again - you have the perfect excuse... mice - get a small terrier from battersea dogs home (j/russell, border terrier or other ratting breed) - thus solving your rodent problem and giving a little friendly rescue dog a home = friend for life, early christmas present and practical solution to your woes! :) Or alternatively the 14mg should do the trick! :D

Ohhh the temptation!!

I remember reading a story years ago where the dog owner trained his puppies by balancing slabs of fresh steak on their noses to teach them the art of discipline... what a b$%stard!:D

have you looked on their website lately? It's full of staffs from the lowlife prats that cannot look after themselves, let alone a dog. I love dobermanns and border collies. It is not a decision to take lightly though.

I went to our local dogs home about a month ago which was pretty tragic... ex-fighting staffies were the order of the day followed by rottweilers, alsations and any other dogs that hadn't been trained properly by their clueless owners. Really sad thinking that most of them will be doing life sentences in those tiny cells because of those prats! :mad:

I guess you've got to have a pretty big heart and lots of time on your hands and definitely not a task to be taken lightly!

I agree. I miss my dogs that died so much, but we have to accept that they do not live as long as us. I want another (or two), but things are different now. My daughter works and I live just with her. Before she was at school/college and our dogs were not alone for hours on end. Perhaps I need to wait until I retire from work in 5 years or so.

lol, with you there more than you probably know Kate. Certainly my mind is on the way out.
My EX husband used to balance bonios on the noses of my dobermanns and then tell them when they could have them. Was too cruel for words, but they did it. (hasten to add that this was for mere seconds, not longer than 15)

15 seconds is Mother Theresa-like compared with this guy... I seem to remember he used to make the poor dogs wait something like 3 hours!! If of course my memory serves me correctly which while we're on the topic is pretty unlikely!! :D
