Which very well known businessman in the town, and a TEF member, has just got a new dog - a handbag dog it was decribed to me!!  Complete with pink lead and collar. :eek:

Oooh, ooh. Is it Bushey?

God, that lad has changed.

Told not to say who it was, but the guy who told me does go round town on a little red scooter shouting at other TEF members and scaring them to shit!

 :dito:

Little dogs are stupid, if you're getting a dog get a proper sized one or buy a gerbil or something.

For the record I have a black lab.

Hmmm that might be a tad harsh. However a dog that isn't big enough to kill scumbag cats is clearly not serving it's proper purpose.

ha ha - have they brought a little louis Vuitton dog carrier to put it in?

we have my bosses mums dog in the office this week - Its vile I want to knife crime it - its a Chow thats about 100 years old and practically dead

Hows the greyhound ;)

Big and manly like me.

he got it in exchange for going to the legends night last week. whats next? Pet shop boys makeover in exchange for a couple of cans from the supermarket.

Its a slippery slope mystery businessman.

:D

I'm beginning to have doubts about the mys(t)ery mans negotiating skills. A poofy dog has to be worth several boozey away trips at least.

OMG Im hoping thats a joke??!

i'm seriously thinking of having a look at this little fella.
http://www.bluecross.org.uk/web/site/Adoptions/1073501SamsonBurford.asp?species=Dog&sex=&breed=&colour=&location=Burford&pg=10

Looks tasty, still young and tender. I'll have a look at that site next time I'm having a bbq.

arriba, you'd do well to make sure you can accomodate these things below, they're on there for a reason as we found out! Birdy goes home at lunchtime to let ours out so he's not left to long. I thought your kids were quite young?

i am considering all those things sussex.i have been looking for months and have visited the centre.

Honestly, if you're that serious about it, do it. We've had Benny 4/5 months and couldn't be without him now.

Arriba, I'm guessing thats the one in Burford. We're looking at Henry from there, but haven't been to visit yet.

I'd like a dog, but being away from the house for 9 hours a day seems a bit too long to leave a dog on its own.

get a cat - cats rock!

I kissed a cat and I liked it

Dogs > Cats

Cats < Everything else on the planet

forgive me but Ive never understood those arrows in relation to maths?   :-[

OK OK this wasnt meant to get out.  We got a dog as my mrs gave away her last one in January when she bought a flat as was unfair, whe then moved in about April, so she missed her dog.  I said it was her choice and we got a Besian Frieze.  Its a cute little white thing but the collar and lead are not staying.

It goes through the cat flap for a piss and is a pure mummys girl.

I didnt exchange it for the legends night but did make Mex laugh by saying that.

Things chnage but its called growing up, babies will be next

I refuse to grow up!

Quick note though. Babies aren't meant to use the cat flap to go outside for a piss.....just for future reference.

Basically - Dogs are greater than cats

Cats are less than everything else in the world (maybe apart from mushrooms)!

Baby puppies or Baby Bushey Boys?

:oops:

The puppies will fetch £750 a piece and busheys will not make that much!!!  Lets hope its puppies

Oh, so its you who has the dog then Ash!  My contact wouldn't reveal who it was, even when I threatened to douse his ciggy in County Road this morning!! :dog: :dog: :dog: :sherlock:

Ronnie im not paying your bill, when they ask why I will say he broke our confidentialilty agreement

Have  anice weekend

Ronnie do you libe in Hankerton? I was there last night

You posted about it on facebook though?

Sshh im trying to save money here

You've turned into a wet blanket mate. You don't even go for beer now!!

bushey rocks!

no sippo he just hates you, he came out for a beer with us lot last weekend.

When I was a youngen I always had a dog, but now cats for me, they look after themselves, shit in other peoples gardens and great value and fun.

Cats rule OK

fish are the new mammals.

Fish are shit

No, but I was born and bred there, lived there until the fateful day I put a ring on a certain ladies' finger!!  Have travelled a bit since then but it will always be my spiritual home as my parents are buried in the churchyard there.  What you doing in the mighty Hankerton?

 Bushey baby?

My dog fookin' rocks...

[url width=768 height=576]http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo177/archstanton1973/freds.jpg[/url]

He's a big, heavy, fur ball....

Looks like an Airdale with too much hair!!

Nice dog though.

Go to the top of the class.... he is an airdale with too much hair!

And too much energy unfortunately.

How can you be a student and have a dog ? Or are you doing some kind of sinister science degree ?

Here's my Benny. Retired from racing last year and in typical greyhound fashion is a lazy bugger now he's retired..

[url width=682 height=484]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/sussex_red/Benny.jpg[/url]

If the copyrighted picture is a problem Barry delete it fella.

If he was any good, he'd have cleared those words Sussex.

(Barry, if you delete the picture this won't make any sense)

(Barry won't delete the picture)

I don't want anyone to get in trouble. More likely photobucket will remove it. Doubt the photographer would care anyway.

Go visit www.actionshotsonline.co.uk - It's great! There you go, I've credited him, like he'd ever see this forum anyway.

Benny reads the forum?

Yes. When I'm sat on the floor he gets in a huff so stands sideways between me and the laptop. I can a) headbutt him in the belly, b) try to push him out of the way, or c) lick his willy and risk prosecution. I usually go for option 'b', but he's a big cunt so it's not easy. (apologies for the language neville).

I always wanted a dog but then i found fat cat how could you not love her!?

One way would be to run her over with a steam roller.

cunt

You could make her into a delicious snack by toasting her whilst listening to novelty chirstmas number ones.

I think this thread could take an awesome new direction.

I was in the process of posting a picture of my cats, but I'm not now. You mean cunts.

She asked the question How could you not love her? I was just trying to help.

Big fucking loss.

Yes i did, but you were wrong cos squashed on your steam roller or not we'd still love her.
Post your picture sam, be proud of your pussy :D

Don't worry, I don't own a steam roller so your cat is perfectly safe. I do however own a toaster capable of holding 4 slices of bread and a button that when activated allows you to toast bread from frozen.

Cat or dog = curry = yum yum. 50 million South Koreans can't be wrong.

You mean bastard

Do that again and I'll rape your cat.

You leave my cat alone!

That looks like a pretty decent sized breakfast to me.

[url width=800 height=600]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/cpsm.png[/url]

flammableBen you're considerably more portly than I remember (I'm a fat bastard too). Your cat looks viscous as fuck.

got this cheeky chap on reserve now.went to see him with my son this morning and was won over straight away.he ticks all the boxes for our family,responds to commnads,loving and energetic. going back tomorrow with the mrs and little un for more bonding.should be ours by this time next week.

I love Staffies, they're ace.

That's quality arriba, bet you can't wait to get him home! Tip - a pack of 300 Tesco value nappy bags - cheapest way to pick up poo.

We used to use sandwich bags...ummm that nice warm feeling....

Out of curosity how much was the adoption charge?

£100.aint paid yet as they have to check out our home first.
for your money it's given its jabs,neutered,wormed etc.i'd probably have donated that much anyway

Sussex

Your doggie is ace !!!!!

I want my Bonnie back

 :cry:

My pooch was killed by a Cobra.

She was a Chinese Shar pe and was the best dog ever.

This thread is making me sad.

Aww I hope you get him he's lovely.A friendly warning though a 10  month old SBT is a destructive force unlike any other dog ive ever owned.They'll chew everything skirting boards,doors and more.You might want to invest in a Crate for when you arent at home.

i discussed his behaviour today with the workers at blue cross yeovil.they seem to think he's fine when on his own,he is placid and mellow,doesn't bark-go mental,time will tell.they said he might piss in the house a bit due to nerves at the start of his life with us but that was it.was thinking of buying a cage though.
he wont be left on his own much at all.
he's ours as long as little un is ok with him and our house checks out ok.(both formalities really)

Good luck Arriba, ours had her first jabs last week and after next Mondays second dose she can go out.  Taught her to sit this weekend (ok my mrs did as the little shit dont listen to me), its great seeing them learn.

We paid £350 for ours as a donation (which was set) but its worth it as we now where she has come from etc and had been wormed and looked after.  Weve been using a hot water bottle at night and the only thing she has eat is my work shirts and not the furniture

How did it go arriba?

We adopted a 10 month old yellow Labrador from Blue Cross, Burford, last December. She has been excellent in all ways, except does not like being left alone, so we now use a cage and that's fine for a couple of hours. I'm home all day which is ideal. I soon started her at obedience classes, and now she is training for agility as well. Great fun, hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.

just got back,went great.he is a bit hyper when let of his lead and loves to play, but does as he's told if you tell him to sit,wait etc,and walks fine on a lead,he's soppy as fuck and has a great temprament.he's not going to need alot of training as alot of work has been done with him,just a bit of work on his manners really.got a home visit on wednesday, and all being good we pick him up friday.

Ace. The home visit is just a formality really to make sure you don't live in a skip or you're a serial killer.

What a great Christmas present for your family, and especially the kids.

 :)

Best of luck Arriba, please assure us that you won't be getting a pink collar and lead a la Bushey!

Just remember - a dog is for life, not just for christmas

My sister works at Lifestyle Beauty salon - has done for years!

i can confirm a pink collar isn't on the agenda.

just had house visit.all sorted-pick him up friday lunchtime.
fucking well excited and off in town tommorrow to buy him loads of stuff:)

That's ace arriba!

Be sure to check some pet suppliers for stuff online that deliver before blowing cash in more expensive shops in the high street - we got a dog bed online for £15 that was £35 in the local pet shop (It's a big bed!).

When I get a back yard along with a hot tub I'm going to get one of these characters.  Duck tolling retriever...

I nearly took home a massive Bull Mastiff from the rescue centre a few months back called Teddy but I don't have the space sadly at the moment.

Pets2home/ParcelPets are very good:
http://www.pets2home.co.uk/

(Run by a mate of mine so I should declare an interest but when we still had our dog, we used to bulk order food from them and they were great - good prices and delivery)

thanks for those links pauld and sussex.i'll take a look

Best of luck arriba. If you don't mind me giving some advice, it's a good idea not to be too excited for a while with the dog, calm assertive energy is needed, as the Dog Whisperer says. My rescue dog was very hyper at first, had never played with a toy,  had loose poo until I found the best food to suit her, and hated being left alone. Don't expect too much straight away. I expect you know all this anyway.

Arriba, your potential new dog is in the middle of The Sun today!

So did you bring him home today arriba?

mine keeps pooing everywhere and biting me! My mrs come sin and dog is perfect

little shit

yeah he's home and settling in well.

Good stuff  :)

That's strange Bushey, I heard DRS did the same in the office!

Are you able to walk him yet arriba?

yeah went to coate yesterday and going on a big walk later.he's fine on a lead and doesn't piss-shit in the house.cannot belive anyone could dump this dog as he's great.their loss as he's perfect for our family.fuck me do his farts stink though!

do you have a pic of him you can post arriba ?

ha ha, im stuck in office all day and got mine with me, she keeps letting them off too!

i'll have a go later.never upped a pic before so may take some time

we want a Pic!!!

is he Dog friendly?

Glad its working out well,

i will do a pic when i get time.and yes he's fine with other dogs.one barked at him yesterday and didn't bother him at all.

ha ha ha I just sent you mine Andy! Nice bandage

In dog related news, Bath cats and dogs home has been shut down. Went yesterday for their annual fundraiser...

Apparently the virus was brought in by some scabbie pups from Chippenscum

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7756276.stm

Correct, but they were rescued by the RSPCA when it was reported that somebody was going round trying to sell them in the street - from a wheelbarrow! :grrr:

Has the Dog Arriba?

Still no trouble?

 love him to bits yeovil.settled in brilliantly and wouldn't be without him now.been no bother at all.
cannot find many toys strong enough to last more than a few mins though.

Great news  8)

My last dog used to love the pigs ears I got from Rons Stores. They kept him amused for hours.

How do i put a pic of my dog on here??

http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,2086.0.html

Glad it's going well arriba, new you wouldn't regret it. Took ours on a retired greyhound trust fundraising walk this morning, never seen so many of the buggers all in one place!

just had a long walk out at lechlade.fucking wet but great fun.only had the dog 2 weeks but i'm rapidly loosing the extra pounds i put on after quitting smoking.
