Big Ramy 1314 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Just got a new dog. Chocolate lab, 9 weeks old. Named him "Wallace". Love him to bits. Hard at first though, I had a Belgian Sheppard that past 5 year ago. I had him for 15 year, named Larsson. Anyone else have a pet, pal. It's hard, its emotional. I will tell yae though, I love my wee Wallace. Reminds me alot of Larrson and brings back memories.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 My sister has 2 rescue dogs, they are brilliant fun, not fully trained but they are very good natured, especially around my niece, even when she’s putting wee toys on them and climbing on their backs. Would like a dog myself but travel around too much at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCTA Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Twa dugs, twa moggies noo ana’. Dugs are lassies named Alba and Aggie. Cats are laddies named Hamish and Angus. All 4 rescued. Always, always go for rescue. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Would love a dog but the sad truth is I am too selfish to deal with the restrictions a dog puts on you. I am still enjoying some freedom with my time after bringing up two children, plus both my husband and I work full time and are away from the house 10 hours a day, not ideal for taking on a dog. I retire in 4 years and would definitely consider one then, and most likely a rescue dog. I get too attached to pets though. I still remember crying for days when our dog died when I was 9 years old. I even cried when my daughters hamster died. She carried it about the house for days in a gift box before it was buried, it was like a hamster coffin. The wee thing was stiff as a board, there was no lid on the box and she filled it with hamster memorabilia. We even had a funeral service for it. Another time i went to work crying because one of our guinea pigs was dying. We had 2 and unbeknown to is one of them was eating all the food. By the time we realised it was too late. I went to work one day and my husband was trying to feed it water through a syringe. It died an hour later 😢 There was no such emotion when the other fat wee fooker died a few years later.

Despite not wanting the hassle of pets, I've found myself with a cat, a hamster, and 3 chickens now. Bird can't see an animal needing rehomed and I'm a pushover.

I have a huge yard and already dedicate a chunk of it to growing veg. Two things stop me though. The coyotes around my house and the brutal cold Winter that would cost me a fortune on electric to heat a coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hardy hoors compared to some creatures with the cold but not that hardy that a -50 temp throughout January and February wouldn’t get them.

dandydunn Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Kids have a cat, Lucy, she’s a cunt. Ran away twice, but always comes back. Oldest one bought a dog a couple of weeks ago, can’t go outside yet, so he’s currently kicking about the house in fucking nappies. He’s cute enough I suppose, but keeps licking my face and trying to eat my heed, almost for a slap tonight when he went for my Fab icicle. I’ve been assured I won’t be the one walking him during the winter, but I already know that’s a fucking lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ramy 1314 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Had wee Wallace nearly 2 weeks now. He is now trained to go in his crate at bedtime, and no more messing in the house. Not bad for a 9 week old puppy. Loves me tae bits, which is annoying my wife, but then again, who is up at 5am tontake the wee shite out for a pee. Aye, no her.. Just love the wee fella....

Huddersfield Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have always had an allergy to most animals & birds as did my dad so I never had a ‘proper’ pet as child or adult. I’ve got a little albino leopard gecko lizard though who is cute but dim. He will only eat insects when they are alive so if he sees one keeping still, he’ll go & prod it with his nose to check, thus giving it time to hop out of his way. Not the sharpest of characters.

We’ve got one too, just for when we’re out to save him chewing the house to bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
