Ok, I didn't want to jump in on this thread....for a variety of reasons. But here goes!

Oh I wish I could get a dog! I used to have a dog, 2 in fact, and missed them dearly when I had to leave them behind with an abusive ex husband. That prick actually threatened to kill my favourite dog, my fur baby at the time, unless I went back to him! Don't worry, Baldrick the golden Labrador lived on to die of old age in a loving home.....not with the prick!

I also want a dog so that my boy can learn to overcome his fear of them, and have a companion growing up and learn to care for something else. I also want one so that I could walk daily with it, and get and give cuddles, companionship and affection on a daily basis. (I get and give that from my son, but he is not always with me).

Get another dog Johnny. Just saying.

Edit: (Interesting, this site doesn't recognise 'prick' as swearing! Heehee)
