Grew up with a dog & went a year without before getting another – can’t imagine a home without one. Every photo of us kids is with the dog covered in mud or a steam etc – used to walk the dog instead of watching shite tv.
Got Barney the Norfolk terrier (i think) bought from gypsies : ) mad as a box of frogs! Fortunately, he doesn’t like getting up early, sometimes he’ll slump his way into the garden for a piss & run straight back in his bed. Only comes alive around lunch but that’s routine & when people have time for him. Only negative I’ve got is during the winter there’s not enough daylight for a proper ride & dog walk then rinsing him off afterwards.
I’ve got a few families & an elderly couple down the road who love to walk him but don’t want all the hassle of owning a dog so I’ve never had to worry about kennels/board for when I go away.
Has a few bizarre habits of going completely feral after a shower & becomes hell bent on shredding every towel with reach.
Awesome down the pub – usually ends up with a plate of meat!
I couldn’t have one without so many people wanting to walk him though.
