This thread is one of the better threads ever and I suppose at some point I could go back and read the preceding 36 pages, since I started at page 37 and the mesmerizing effect of the subject took over.  Or it could have been the Newcastle.

The thread has the potential to reach 100 pages and beyond, but only if we are eternally vigilent, and pets continue to eat barfable items.  The latter is a given........

you know, with what they are finding in pet food these days its no wonder your pets ar hurling

Sad and true.

We have no pets currently but the wife is searching for a small yippy dog.

We saw a "yapper chitter" on the tube last night and I told the wife if ever I suggest one for her to shoot me.  Man I can't stand yippy, JMO.

I raised bird dogs for years.  Had a britany pass last year that I dearly loved don't hunt much anymore due to a bike riding habit.

She would like a small dog of some type and most of them tend to be yippy.  Not my idea.  She refuses to consider a pet monkey, so whaddayagonnado?

My manager has a mini-dachshund, neat little guy and not yappy or yippy, may just be his but there is a lot to be said for non-shedding, non-yippy dogs.  Oh well, we'd love just as much as the big one's I'm sure.  At least there'd be less shovelling with a small dog.

I have been dead set against a new dog for almost a year.  She has been adamant that we get a new dog for about the same amount of time. Non shedding would be good.  Stuffed dog would be better.

Wimmens tend to get their way eventually or the whining increases to Lucy Ricardo level.  I might offer a chrome trade off amount to her since my OCD is rearing it's head again.

Yep, that's an understatement in most households, the only issue I have with the dog thing is that when it comes time to pull up stakes and haul ass, sometimes it's hard to find a place to leave the dog.  Consequently it ties you down more than most of us like. 

Makes a spur of the moment bike run for the weekend or the week a bit tougher to pull off.......however if she's goin' to stay home with the pup, maybe it would work out for a lot of us

Just to keep this thread on topic this is what the office cats left at the back door.

Very nice Rooster.......we haven't had a pile pic in some time.

Kennels around here are plentiful and after checking them out, some are really good and the staff kind, considerate and compassionate.  So going out of town is not impossible, just gotta plan ahead.  But it does get pricey.  When we went to MV last fall, the kennel bill was larger that the entire trip bill for two was.  

But then the dogs get older.  We have an antique dog (18 years old) that just won't go.  She now has to be carried outside four times a day and helped to walk to the spot she chooses to do business.  She cannot get up or stand up on her own.  The vet says no more kennels stays for her.  We don't know anyone well enough to ask them to house/dog sit, so overnight trips for two are out of the question.  At some point, we will have to make the decision for her, as the vet says that her heart, kidneys and liver are all excellent, it may be a long time before her body gives up.  She is not unhappy, mostly sleeps, still likes to eat and get treats.  But............... I never want to have to do this again.  We still have a five year old, so will have to at some point, but I don't think I want to get any "new" animals.  I think it would be better for us to just have us to worry about.

Not to be a downer Candy but we just had to let our cat go.

Only after the encouragement of the Vet to do a bunch of treatment as she was still strong.  Don't even want to think about the $$$ that we spent as she was a great cat, but we should have let her go without putting her through the other stuff first, which we thought would be the vets advice too.  I think sometimes the vets have as much trouble offering the suggestion to us as we have making it.

We had toput 2 down last year.  The son brings his tiny pub to visit, but she wants another & I do not, for the reasons rjob gives.  To get this thread back on topic, I will search the deep vault.
