Sorry to hear that -it's awful when you have to put them to sleep.

I would put up with any amount of cat hairs for my cats - they are the best company. Lost young Zoe to an accident recently and now have Milly(10) and Teo (17).

Had a scare myself last year when dignosed with asthma - thought i was going to be allergic to cats, luckily I wasn't.

You should try stopping him! He'll have a go at anything. The phrase 'rat up a drainpipe' comes most easily to mind.

The theory is that dog owners look like their pooches.

Does he have a pedigree like "Biff", or is he a Heinz 57 varieties type dog?

"The theory is that dog owners look like their pooches."

I wonder if the similarities extend to behaviour patterns? Surely not...

I am not entirely sure what you might be attempting to allude to, but if you are suggesting that I wander the streets habitualy cocking my leg up on anything even vaguely vertical, you would be mistaken.

I'm sure that must be a great relief to those in your neighbourhood.

Rats up drainpipes - not in my vocab. Too modern.

For "up" i read "in", thought mean teddy boys! New specs have been ordered and with luck will be ready on Saturday...

Didn't have you down as a dog owner Cashy -nice breed though -not one i knew.

Presume he goes in a kennel when you go abroad.

Am personally a big fan of short haired Daschunds -"sausage dogs" to the commonn man -very cute and they have lovely soft ears!

That's one great looking little dog. There goes the theory that dogs look like their companions.

I actually believe that animals respond to the people they are with as well as having their own nature to start with. So great companions have great owners as they can express their own personality.

We have had a few dogs -but they were never "mine" -always my boys. I was just the one who had to make sure they were fed.

Same with the goldfish we had for 8 years - the only one who ever bothered with it was me...
