I want to get a dog but I have to work, how does everyone on broadway market do it ?

get small dog, install cat flap. job done

I had a big dog - pit cross - and a dog flap, job also done. Never got burgled. Did find someone with a leg over the wall to the garden and my dog attached to the end of it. Unfortunately he was coming to replace some tiles on the roof and was just bringing the ladder round. I'd forgotten to lock the dog in. I had to tip him.

Ha^

I used to think the first song on the Stone Roses first album said 'I wanna be a dog'.

Mummy and Daddy's credit card. ...

I thought of starting a separate thread just called "how does everyone on broadway market do it?" as I have been wondering about this for a while.

but suspect the answer is what Crispin said.

Yeah, but do what? Look like a louche victim? Ponce about wearing a pea coat, breton sweater and no socks? Afford to live in Hackney?

yep. all of the above. at times of the day when everyone else is working.

Lori's parents have got a German Shepherd called Dana, she's gorgeous... This pic was taken a coupla years ago now...

get small dog, install cat flap. job done

I read this as "get small dog, install flat cap, job done" and it still made sense.

Same.

I hate dogs though. Something about being bitten in the elbow whilst sledging, getting knocked over by a Great Dane when you're 4 years old, a labrador cumming on your leg on a Welsh beach, and next door's paralysed Alsatian dragging its limp body towards you very slowly in a zombie fashion that kinda puts me off ever wanting to see another dog again.

Plus I don't want to pick up shit in a plastic bag.

Mine:

Ummm...a German Shepherd / Corgi cross?

Haha nope, pure German Shepherd/Alsation, she's quite small though.

What you want is a cat.

Find a cat that will fetch me a sliotar and i'll happily get a cat.

What you want is a dog

mick, with your hurling ability a fucking mouse could retrieve your sliotar....

With your running ability the mouse would probably get to it before you...

hah.
cunt.
i'm quicker now... getting faster everyday, you little irish whippet.
also am playing all of tomorrow. shitting myself a bit, if i'm honest

Let's be honest, you couldn't have got much slower =P

Good luck tomorrow dude!

We have a retired greyhound - sleeps for 18 to 20 hours a day. I have installed a (massive greyhound sized) dogflap so she can get into a secure part of the garden. We used to have a dog walker take her out twice a week but have reduced this to once a week as she just doesn't need it. We filmed her using stop motion during the day once and she just slept.

Totally depends on the dog but some will be OK...

Do they actually suffer from depression, or just look like they do?

Great dredge!

I still don't have a dog

I need a trail dog.

We have two vizslas, amazing trail dogs as they can run at 40mph, ridiculously affectionate, totally human centric.

The flip side is they need human contact and interaction, they are very needy. Luckily we can manage things so that most days one of us is with the hounds, though we also send them to doggy day care and have a lady who specialises in vizslas who they can stay with overnight.

I've got some kind of dachshund/miniature pinscher/jack russell mongrel, and I work full time. Other half is a midwife and does 3 12 hour shifts a week. but one of these is normally a night shift, and one at the weekend, so the pup is only at home on his own 1 day a week, or sometimes two. We have a local dog walker who comes round and takes him out for an hour at lunch time on the days we're not there.

He seems fine with it. is mostly just asleep on the sofa when we get back. Have considered getting a dog flap, as he cant get out of the small walled back garden, there have been a few dogknappings in the area though, so the GF isn't too keen on that.

Great dredge!

I want one. Soon.
My friend uses Dogvillas who also pick-up and drop-off, which is very handy!
