OMG! I am so jealous!!
My sister got given a two-year-old black labrador at a party. The owners were moving house and had no garden for him. I have dog envy.

no worries
soon you'll have a baby. It'll be like having a dog but louder

Yeah, but a baby isn't a dog :(

it's so much cooler than a dog
honestly. now baby is crawling and cruising everywhere, he's like a puppy, but a puppy who will one day grow up and fund my stay in a nursing home. he spends his days gnawing on the furniture, leaves puddles in strange places, and howls when he needs attention.
(I still really really want a dog though)

I love labradors, when someone tells me to think of the word 'dog', they're what comes into my head.
Such lovely personailtys and so perceptive to human needs.

My whippet is a shite dog
if you like dogs. But I don't, so she's cool. She doesn't slobber or shed hair everywhere, she doesn't bark and if it's raining or a bit cold she won't go for a walk, so for me she's the best dog ever. She's like a catdog.
