What's his name?

Thought this may have been about a new acquaintance Frederick, I'm mildly disappointed.

I hope you can cheer him up though, he looks sad.

I think he looks pensive.

Ooh could be. Or he's communicating with the deceased, a doggy medium.

Bark once for yes, twice for no.

Charlie

 :D

OMG he is LUSH

Little baby wolf

Not Rex then?

Wolf?! It's a fucking Spaniel!

I call all dogs wolfs!!

Wolves.

oh! sorry!  :-[

Dogs= wolves Cats=pigs

In my world!

what sort of dog is he Fred?

 ::) Women.

Never, ever accept a bacon sandwich at JFW's house.

i dont normally say awwwww. but awwwwwwwww

Going by the name i was guessing King Charles Spaniel.

Hopefully when it gets big it might eat your ex then Fred?

I'm hoping to get a puppy soon after i head back to France, not sure what, something lab based i think, must be happy running in snow and mountains.

genetically modified puppy?

Great idea.  Give it three eyes.

see i knew that would come, but i was too lazy to worry about it, would be cool though - genetically modified to go fetch me ripe young ladies...

Do you think you could teach a genetically modified puppy to fetch beer from the fridge?

Aww sweet, is he a Springer?

Didn't say this earlier Fred, but I'm a dog lover and he/she looks lovely.  Hope he/she brings you much joy.

Nice - with the size of his feet he'll be a biggun.

St Lucien Banana hound, ive got one and they are fantastic.

Had a Springer last time but the ex wife kept her as part of the split settlement

Charlie is a Chocolate Roan Sprocker Spaniel

Been out to Hereford to see him again today and I can bring him home next Saturday.

Playful little chap !

looks a lovely dog.i'm thinking of getting another,and will be another blue cross one if i do.the mrs aint keen though

St Bernard ?

Im toying with getting another Dog as well,Id like to rescue one but they wont let me cos Tom has his nuts intact.Ive been scanning Trade It but people make me mad selling their family Pets,if ever I was in the situation of having to rehome my Dog I wouldnt want money the home he was going to would be my only concern.Im thinking something small like a Dachhound or long haired Jack Russell because Tom likes little Dogs,although I wouldnt rule out another Staffie because they are the greatest most loving breed ive ever owned.

We are waiting to get a greyhound through Greyhound Rescue West of England.

It has been a bit of a slog. First we had to be assesses by GRWE, and then, because my wife is a childminder, we had to be re-inspected by Ofsted and re-submit all our risk assesments.

We have been given the all clear and should get one within the next few weeks.

Good luck with Charlie, Fred

Absolute insane PC madness. You want a dog for your family!!!

We had to go through loads of hoops to get a couple of kittens from the RSPCA. In the end I threw the do-goody old bitch out the door who turned up after six months to 'check on their cats'.

Fucking wankers.

There's a sign up outside a house on Station Rd in town, selling Staffie pups for £100 which I thought was quite cheap.

Greyhound Rescue are fine - not overbearing at all.

The whole Ofsted thing was a bit of a pain, but it did make us plan the whole thing properly, and all the parents of children we look after were reassured that their kids weren't giong to be at any risk.

I think I saw that this morning, on Sheppard Street yeah?

I really want to get in before Nev does, but I am fucked if I can think of anything

Probably stuffed staffies you thick cunts.

RSPCA would let us have cats from them as we "lived near a road" - this road is in a village I hasten to add! Im not sure I know anyone who doesnt live "near" a road???

I got my cat from some weird tramps in Rodbourne in the end

Wiggy greyhounds are lushious

Not really - they're rehoming animals that have to be rehomed usually because they've already been through the process of being owned once by irresponsible dickheads who "just fancied a dog/cat/rhinocerous" and didn't give any thought to how they'd look after it. So checking that the people proposing to adopt such an animal are going to be able to give it a suitable home seems pretty sensible - otherwise they just end up with the same animals turning up again as strays. These organisations are generally in the business of animal welfare, so I don't think you can see it as too surprising that they'd want to take some steps to, erm, ensure the welfare of the animal

The same question they had when they first turned up to see if we were "suitable" to have their kittens. As we don't live on a main road they said it was ok. That was along with the "we would prefer it if you didn't let them out at all" comment. They are fucking cats, that's what they do. They go outside, they eat mice, they shag, they scrap with dogs and run across roads at 90mph. Then there was the personal interrogation about our motives - "yes, we want cats because we love animals and want to look after them, particularly if they are homeless". I should have said "we actually want a cat or two to chuck on the barbecue when we are a bit skint".

At that point I felt like chucking them out but desisted because of my daughter's pleas.

I would rather have bought them off someone who didn't mind where they were going as long as they got their money and let us take the responsibility for their welfare.

Paul, I take your point but it is just completely overboard. They should have been able to make a judgement on their first visit that we were not cat stranglers and left us to it. They want to wrap animals up in cotton wool, just like the rest of this shite overbearing nannying country does with the humans.

i was more than happy for the blue cross to visit my home,and ask the many questions they did. and we visited samson twice too before we were allowed him.
as there are so many abandoned animals, i dont blame them for being carefull who they allow to adopt.
too many animal breeders trying to make money, and not really giving a shit about the animals welfare

I agree with TT.

You are unable to adopt a Dog from some Rescues unless you have 6 foot fence or of you leave the house for more than 4 hour a day.It seems to me that a Dog would be better off wandering round my house and sleeping on my Sofa than being stuck in a kennels for 23 hours a day waiting for the "perfect" situation to come along.They just need to apply a bit more common sense.

we had to have a 5 foot fence. and not regulary leave the dog for more than 4 hours.
perfectly reasonable imo.

In a perfect world yes,so your saying its better that the Dog stay in Kennels or get put down than it go to a house that doesnt have the right fence?

What's re-homing abandoned animals got to do with political correctness?

no.but a fence not big enough might see the dog jump it and run away so that is common sense surely to have the right size fence?
also the blue cross dont destroy animals,so they do get suitable homes eventually.

Yeovil said it. Common sense, or lack of application of it.

In every population you get around 5% who are complete knobheads. Yes, we all know some. Those who do not give a shit about others, break the law, lack common decency and so on. They are also the ones most likely to mistreat animals (and also much more worryingly, their children).

So political correctness says that you treat the other 95% of the population who are caring, decent, 'normal' people the same way as the 5%. And that is what completely enrages me. It applies to just about every subject today - motoring, drinking, pets, children, yadder, yadder, yadder.

Find out who the 5% are on their previous and examine THEM.

Sheesh.

Ive only got a chain link fence thats about 4 foot high,so I keep an eye on my Dog when hes in the Garden,thats common sense as well isnt it? Thats what im talking about,not everything should be so black and white.

fair point yeovil.but lines need to be drawn somewhere.

If your worried about your dog getting out couldn't you put up a bigger fence?

Im not worried and I cant afford it.

But thanks for the fish. :)

Blimey, the last two posts I have made and people think I'm a fishmonger.  :(

But common sense is free  :)

Incidentally in times gone by we had a 'village bobby' or more recently a policeman who lived in the community that he served (yeah ok, policewoman/she if you want to be politically correct  ::) ). They had their finger on the pulse of who the idiots were and their job was to keep an eye on them. A quiet question in their ear would have told anybody whether they were suitable for keeping animals.

Now the village bobby/policeman is sadly long gone, along with law and order on our streets. Oh and I don't count PCSOs, they are a weak attempt at a replacement but I still couldn't tell you who mine is.

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE !!

I really dont know why I fucking bother !

Why must everything be turned into a massive debate about the rights and wrongs of a fucking ducks arse, I only wanted to show everyone pictures of my new puppy.

You lot really fuck me off some times

Such are the nature of forums, Andy.

Your new puppy is real cute btw, even if I dislike dogs.

There.

xxx

This sort of thing wouldn't happen if there were more local bobbies fred.

If there were more local bobbies you would be employed. As one Ben.

You would be ace.

Fuck off would I.

Sorry Ben but I am just fucked off with it !

I could post a picture of Angela Ripons left piss flap and someone will turn it into a right/wrong/political free for all

This forum used to be ace when the lunatics ruled the asylum, now its turned into point scoring from people who think they need to enforce their own views, be right or wrong on other people who quite honestly dont give a fuck.

Why dont they just write to our Tel on Points of View if they want to get it out of their system.

I am agitated

Your dog is tops Fredster  :dog:

That's not debatable!

cheers 4D

Pick him up Saturday and cant wait !

Whatever.

I can see Ben now.

On the way home from Cheltnum away

and I quote

"Oi copper, if you have confiscated any drugs today can you let me have some"

Legend Ben

Has the hair been added as well as the hat or is it real?

Ben had long hair back in the day

Then this happened

[url width=597 height=400]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/beerdog.jpg[/url]

That's better! Or, Fred is mortified  :D

thats ace Ben

It would be better but I don't have photoshop installed at the moment.

It must be approaching shaving head time again in a few months.

Just printing it off to give to Jen in the morning

if you let her do it again I will give the usual £50 to The Prospect mate

Can't really argue with that. Should be up for it, I'll let you know.

Might try and grow a beard before hand this time. Bald people with beards look fucking mental.

Very noble sir!

I couldn't find a picture of Angela Rippon's left piss flap.

[url width=480 height=640]http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp99/swindon_alan/andydog.jpg[/url]

This is why you can't have nice things.

I'm bald and have a beard thing going on, but people call me Phil Mitchell, which i'm not sure how to take.

Oh, that dog is really cute, fair play. I've never had a dog and if I ever did get one, I would want one like that!

are you buying him from Romany types? it's just there's a caravan in the background...

I thought you would have recognised it mate seeing as it's your parent's

i hope you have a big enough fence fred. ;)

Can we actually get round to discussing the rights and wrongs of a ducks ass please

Good job he got rid of the trampoline then

It'd be a foul discussion.

Fowl, surely?

I made a short film. Partly based on this thread but also on modern life in general. It's pretty fucking profound.

I bet you can't wait. youtubes just doing it's processing thingy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F3z9-jVvns

I'm not sure whether you're wasted on here or just wasted

Thats creepy.

I blame Tony Blair and Thatcher for Ben being like this i am also sure it was their fault Fred had to sell his trampoline and downsize from a wife to a stalker to a dog

My dog's better.

I may not sleep tonight after Ben's video.

Im a tiny bit frightend

Do you like my doggies ???

no

Fucking hell Steve they are ace !

Anyway as has been said before - Where is Angela Rippon ?

And Ben - you definitely need a little help......

awesome!

Thanks arriba


One of the best decisions I have ever made

The dog looks gorgeous. Those shorts are a bit of a worry, mind

How's the pooch doing Fred? Any new pics?

It's mental.

It nearly licked my face off yesterday.

You can see its point

What, that I have a lickable face?

Not what I meant but now that I re-read it, it's horribly ambiguous. Let's just forget I ever said anything. Although I wouldn't want to speak for dogs on this, maybe you do.

What he said
