    Comforting at least, I was starting to think it was us. I work from home mainly, my daughter has finished exams and will be at home until at least mid August and my wife works at a school that is literally a 1 minute from home and she comes home every lunchtime. Despite this apparently the dog would be left alone far too much. Amazing really as we had just answered the initial questions and there was no specific dog chosen.

    animals have become a financial obligation now. Vets charge just what the want but pretty much any consultation fee starts at about 50 quid. Its just too easy for them.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    My current pooch was given to me, her owner could no longer care for her properly due to mobilty issues.

    The previous dog was found on Gumtree and came from a fosterer.

    Yeah, seems like a more workable route to trying to do the right thing and help a dog in need. he deposit has already been paid on the new puppy and the wife is getting quite excited, so that ship has sailed. For next time though I should keep that in mind.

    Utter bollocks
    I don't like to leave ours alone but they spend most of their day sleeping !
    An oldie would be fine and almost certainly not give a toss.
    Agree if left alone all day and if only visited at lunchtimes every day

    We moved to a recommended vet closer to home and were stunned by the prices they charged.
    Checked with my mate's daughter who is a vet nurse. She was also stunned
    Phoned around and found a very good vet only slightly further away that I would pay more for, but I'm paying a lot less.
