Just been on the beach with my two what a fabulous day, soooh warm, folk having picnics kids playing on the sand. I always said to my OH I picked him although he is a grumpy old s--, at work they used to call him Victor (Meldrew) yes, he DOES say "I dont believe it!", cor, you should have heard him during the footie last night, in fact you probably did!!! Kids and grandkids call him the grinch, what sealed the deal he had a dog. So I thought he cant be all bad. Oh, and he took on my 3 kids including 2 teenagers, enough said!
Wintersong: thank you for posting. It makes me feel so much better knowing that our dog isn't the only one to be quite so... pathetic. I had to take him to the v.e.t.s last night for some jabs: all those smug cat owners with their little tiddles in small baskets all sat nicely and so easy to pick up as I hauled 27 kg of whimpering German Shepherd over my shoulder because he refuses to walk the moment we get near the v.e.t.s
Punkdoc: in short you should have realised that now that having a dog is a bit like having a small toddler. They're loving, trusting, and always by your side.
Oh and you can put them in time out too! (Though apparently a dog cage isn't suitable for a toddler... who knew).
Unlike a toddler you have no fears of them growing up and getting a teenage girl pregnant, or demanding money for university fees!
Clarington, Folk at schools used to see me walking my 2, and say, Oooh little Johny wants a dog, I would tell them, a puppy is like a baby except not in a cot or nappy, expect sleepless nights, crying, yes, always by your side, my 10 year old still accompanies me to the loo, along with the puppy, if you want a day out, you have to plan accordingly, you cannot leave a puppy for hours. I was ill recently, and said to my daughter being ill with dogs is as bad as being ill with kids, I guess the only slight difference is my kids didnt chew the furniture and shred the carpets!
