Is he house trained Oak?

Awk usually he still has the odd tendancy to forget himself.

Has he been "fixed"? You don't want him running off when the neighbours are on heat.

Bought a couple of goldfish but they died after a few weeks so we bought a couple more, they died as well. Gave up after about 8. When we walked into the pet shop and all the fish started hiding we decided to leave them in peace.

Two rescue mutts....

One a cross breed between a corgi and a labador the other a staffordshire terrier and a grey hound....

Two of them cost me a fortune in vet fees one is allergic to anti-biotics and the other is scheduled for surgery to remove polyps (dog hemroids).....

Both are fantastic with the bambino and she loves the two of them......

Corn snake. I always thought snakes didnt have feelings, or recognise people or show emotion, turns out I was right.

I need some advice on this pet issue. We want to get a dog but we both work 8am-6pm. I live in a built up area. My garden is about 110ft by 30ft. Would it be fair on a mutt to keep it in a kennell outside all day and then walk it early morn, and in evening. If i get a dog i'll be getting 2 of them so they are company for each other as well. Id be getting a rescue dog not buying a pedigree. Which is right morally, not bother, or rescue a couple of dogs based on the argument a life with me is better than being put down ?

I have an aquarium with Tropical Fish. I'd love a dog, but I have two reservations about it. One, is that we both work, and I don't think it's fair to leave a dog alone all day. Secondly, I hate the fact that you'll only get 15 years out of a dog if you are lucky. I hated our dogs at home dying/being put down. It'd break your heart.

That would also be one of my issues, ive always thought id be hard to that kind of thing but i think as you get older you get softer, dafter maybe.

Have two rescue dogs as mentioned and love them to bits and when they do pass, both are 6, I can console myself as I know that I gave them a great life and saved them from a horrible one, watch Marley and Me at the weekend and it did strike home alright....

I would always choose a rescue dog, very loyal especially when they realise that you are treating them with respect and not ruling by fear and you're giving a dog a second chance...
