DOGGY DOGGY DOGGY DOGGY DOGGY DOGGY
I'm going to get a dog, this year some time, I've been saying that since I was 5, but now it's gonna happen !

What kind of dog shall I go for? I don't know, nothing that can't live in a flat with a little bit of outdoors space. I'm thinking Pug or King Charles, if it's a pug I'll call it Pugasorous or Monster*, and if I get a King Charles I'll call it "Madam" or something like that.

Paws** for thought and tell me you tails** about the joy, or hell, of living with a dog.

P.S - my housemates don't know about this, I think it'll make a nice supprise for them.

* That was my dad's knickname for me.
** DO YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

Make sure you keep it away from any pennies.
And windows.

Oh god, I hadn't thought of that
Gonz, you MUST NOT GET A DOG. That would be too cruel.

I've not told him yet, but the dog is getting his room.

I would like it to be known, and I need to stres this, I would never intetionaly jam a penny down the dog's throat, or swing it full pelt at a window
Such things I do not look kindly on, nor people who do such horrible things.

They need a lot of attention, but they're very loving and adaptable, although you would need to groom it every day because they moult a lot.

They're like tiny pet wolfs, AWESOME.
I've been told to get a poodle cross-bread as they don't malt at all.

A Labradoodle!
Go on, they're adorable. I'd love a wolf dog; either one of these or a husky.
( Maladicta, Fri 9 Oct 2009, 19:15, Reply)

They're awesome dogs, labradoodles.

It's on Wikipedia.
Does that answer your question?

Get a mongrel,
less inbred generally healthier, cheaper.

Go to Battersea Dog's Home and ask
"Which one's been here the longest?"

Within reason, I'm not really bothered about initial expenses,
as I expect it'll last around 15 years or soo, so what's a few hundred quid more.

But if it's less in terms of it costing a bundle to look after it, then that's a different story. I don't think I would get a purebread, I would like a rescue dog, but one that's house trained (should such a thing exist).

Pedigrees are usually much more prone to genetic problems and infection than a mongrel.
gaz becky or Esme for advice they're the experts.

I deffo will.
I wonder if there is a place where I can borrow one for a month to see if I get on with dogs or something.

they do!
go on, show some love at the local pound
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 9 Oct 2009, 19:17, Reply)

Mixed breed.
Preferably part Golden Retriever, as they're very sweet tempered and affectionate. But don't get a pure breed one, as they'll be expensive and inbred.

Hell, if you want expensive and inbred go after Paris Hilton.

it's no fun to cuddle a bag of bones!
my neighbor has a mix black lab and pit, he's sooooo effin cute and loveable. Likes to jump. And tear off my shirts.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Contrary to belief, they are sweet natured, loyal and daft as a brush. Get a rescue one as there's loads being dumped.

And feed it the BARF diet. Cheaper than normal dog food and a hell of a lot healthier.

I wished I liked them but I just don't.
There is something about them that I don't like, I think it's the fact that every time I take it for a walk 'round here, someone will ask me if I want to fight with it =(
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Fri 9 Oct 2009, 20:07, Reply)

Saying that though, if I meet one, I reckon I would love them just as much as any other dog.

not to piss on your parade, but...
have you considered the possibility your flatmates might be allergic to animals?
