I’m getting a lovely little border terrier puppy today, thinking about calling him Quito
just thought i would start up a topic on dogs
what kind of dogs do you have, if you have oneI’m a cat person myself, although we always had dogs when I was a kid.
Good name though .. Quito .. I like that.
Dogs bad. Cats good.
About as divisive and aged an argument as Flat versus Jumps, to be honest, but I thought I’d state my preference anyway.

Mr Grayson has made his usual authoritative intervention, however, I note that, through some sort of oversight, he has mixed up his mammals. What he intended to say was: ‘Cats bad, dogs good.’
Have had both cats and dogs and all have been really good. No pets (apart from 2 hamsters which I inherited – one has since gone to hamster heaven and the other will be joining her soon – well she’s nearly 2 and that’s like about 80 in human years they reckon) since being here as keeping a dog or cat cooped up in a unit is not on.
I had kelpies (Lass and Bess) and two cattle dogs in Australia. They were brothers and called Horse and Cart
Have every intention of getting one of each when I get back
Maybe a spaniel of some sort or a pub terrier and a burmese. I can’t wait!I’m getting a lovely little border terrier puppy today, thinking about calling him Quito
Well I hope your Quito doesn’t have the same problem with his nether regions that the eponymous horse has had to endure, ouch!
Enjoy the little fella.
Dogs okay, cats great: the latest in a long line of elderly second-hand ‘rescue’ mogs met her maker a couple of months ago. Daresay another will be acquired before long.
My last Burmese was a rescue cat from Caloundra. She was a lilac colour – she was the best cat ever. I hope I find one just as nice.
cats – the sensible animal – they can look after themselves, feed themselves and will come back home on their own
…and women are better than the lot of them.
Well, Mrs Column is, anyway.

I don’t believe you Simon.
In fact, I bet your cat probably only eats things like steak tartare and truffles, because anything else would upset his fat, poofy, cat stomach.
I say again – your cat, like all other cats before him, is a feline ****** – and my goldfish could probably knock him clean-out in 2 seconds flat.
little quito is all settled in i cant stop worrying about him though!!! he is sound asleep in his new basket! he doesnt quite get the hang of using the newspapers! we put him out for the loo but he just wants to chew the plants
he’s brought many a goldfish back and even had a few platys from my tropical tank as well as a careless danio that tried to escape – he even brought a raw pork chop back once that someone had probably put out to defrost
he had next door’s budgie – blue feathers all over the lawn and trying to deny it to an upset 80yo was no fun – a greenfinch and various other less interestingly coloured feathered things
plenty of mice, voles and other furry animals and the odd lizard and frog
i’m disappointed he’s not brought me a koi yet, but he’s only 10 and fit as **** and your goldfish wouldn’t stand a chance
he’s not over keen on steak but is right up for some late night doner kebab – in fact if he was in the shop with me he’d probably start the fight, he’s that hard
i say it’s your goldfish that is the tosser, not my cat
[he’s not brought me a chipmunk either : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mOYjYddokY&mode=related&search=

Is this your goldfish?
http://www.fotosearch.com/TME705/705-08/Hated cats – then got one to solve a mouse problem here at Cormack Towers. Now I have ‘turned’ and am now a cat person.
Far from being a lover of truffles GH he, like Sberry’s fellow, tends to leave the remains of a variety of unfortunate small and not so small beasts for us to, literally, stumble upon. His favourite delicacy is baby rabbit March to May. He eats them from the head down and leaves the ears, front paws and one of the internal organs (liver?), carefully dissected.
I’ve had dogs before that and not one of them ever proved clever or agile enough to catch ANYTHING.Anyway – only thing worse than a cat person is a cat person who goes on about their effing cat!
