On topic - also for fun

Okay what things DO you do because you have your dog?
Apart from walking him or her of course?

I buy bubbles then sit in the garden and blowing them to keep mine occuppied,although I have no children
I sit for hours just talking to them.
I always do three pieces of toast one for me one each for them
I sit in the middle of the sofa so they can have a "side of me" each

I spend most evening out in the garden playing with them, i wouldnt if i didnt have them. I also talk to them

Spend most weekends in a pet store, buying endless squeeky toys!

I do this as well and also when I'm having scrambled eggs or porridge I cook extra for them

Before I leave the house I try and dog-proof it so they will be alright
I talk to them as well even out on walks as if they were people
I can't think of anything else at the moment....

Emms something tells me whatever you do there is an excellent chance that I do the same it is a way of life owning dogs.

thats so true

I also chat away to Archie all the time... he looks at me as if to say "you're mental"

Whenever I make hamburgers on the bar b q I always make a tiny one for Archie and mix it with his dinner

Carry stinky liver treats in all my pockets and poo bags

Stop working because he's using my book/pad of paper as a pillow

Tell my friends 'sorry, I can't go out tonight cos there's no one around to look after Archie and he's not used to being alone for a long time yet"...they all think I'm mental

Carry a huge handbag on walks with towel if it's wet, big lead and little lead, bottle of water, treats and toys and a little blanket if we go to the pub after so he can curl up on it

The list is endless I'd be so bored without him

1: I go to a dog training school while Jake teaches me what he wants me to do

2: I go to agility and run round a muddy feild shouting words of encouragement as he tears round the course at 1000MPH whilst i'm puffing red faced behind him.


3: I go to pet shops internet websites to find the newest must have dog accessory and spend too much money.

4: I am addicted to an internet website called dogweb which without Jake I would have never discovered

5: I say sorry to other owners and other dogs as he runs off with their balls and refuses to give it back until they have chased him for about 5 miles and he finally decides it's game over.

6: I have had to invest in new underwear as my neighbours have seen all my old underwear spread out in various parts of my garden.

7:I sweep the floor more than ever before because of the hairs.

8: I laugh more than I have ever laughed in my whole life since aquiring Jake!!

my life would be boring

i miss my babies when i go away
i always save food for them after my dinner
play with them
and cry cus i love them so much

I also talk to him like he is human.
I have huge pockets and bags to store poo bags, etc
I spend a lot of time on dog web !!
i make extra breakfast so he can have some
I make extra macaroni cheese so he can have some
i make sure there is a blanket on the sofa so he is never cold !
i take him to hydrotherapy every weekend ( this results in getting fish and chips in Anstruther every weekend VERY BAD !!! for my tummy)
i also blow bubbles
i spend a long time throwing various balls in the garden
I am building an extension on the house so that he can have a back door to get out with when he wants !!! LOL - dont tell hubby that that is the real reason we are building it !!)
