    D'oh! Sorry...

    I was tempted to suggest that and decided, "nah he must remember typing in his password to do the new post".

    Ah well, at least it was something easy.

    The Mother in Law deicided it would be a good idea to get the Lad a pet that was easy to look after ... Goldfish there the most ackward bloody pets i have ever had, filter changes , partial water changes , algae cleaners and talk about crapping , its like the morning after 15 pints of Guiness and a Vindaloo

    [QUOTE=Eddie86;6184]Well, we're now looking for pub dog pups again.QUOTE]
    If you're going for a pup, try a lurcher. Folk think they require a tremendous amount of exercise, they don't, if you can let one have a good blast, once a day, that's all they require. Civilised, no more difficult to train than the average dog, gentle, good-mannered, totally laid-back, and a real talking point. Oh, and they will do the guard-dog bit.
    Lurchers is majic, and cheaperthan most.But beware, lurchers is addictive

    We've just given up a lurcher would you believe. Actually, I say just, it was just before Riley (beautiful black lab) died. Before it was rescued it must have had a hell of a life - any young men (myself included) and he'd go berserk. Took over a year to let me take him for a walk!

    I miss my Scrappy - the first dog I had. Springer crossed with a Field Spaniel. I'm finding a 2 year old son roughly the same amount of work (without that being taken in the wrong way I hasten to add!)

GSD is the thinking at the moment, but we normally go to the local Rescue and see what's there. On a personal note, my mrs has got the idea that dwarf hamsters are what we need at home. Personally I think hamsters are small enough already...
    Surely dwarf hamsters would not make much of a meal for large GSD?

    Similar to pub bartering.. Mansfield has announced "Pay What You Want" scheme..

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...wn/8492556.stm

    Now that's quite brilliant idea to bring back want-away fans.
