Someone wants to buy vinnie
My OH got a phone call yesterday from a chap that used to work with him asking to buy vinnie 
Now I guess you would say dougies still pals with Mick,
He offered an outrageous amount of money, but dougie explained, A: hes not for sale, B : shona wouldnt sell you a dog as you want it for the wrong reasons. I understand his fear at the moment, he was attacked in his own home, the chap that did it is due to be let out of custody soon,
this all happend not to long ago, the man was held on 101 day custody, the trial has yet to come for the whole thing,
So while I do feel sorry for Mick, it must be horrid, but pulling one of my dogs into his house is not the answer,
Mick went on to say, " But shona has always said he will never be a show dog so why not sell him?"
the answer to that being, Hes our pet, hes OUR dog,
I think the whole thing caused some tension with OH and his mate, It would seem he really thought he could just lift the phone, offer money and we would hand him one of our dogs
here is what all the fuss is about
not exactly guard dog of the year stuff eh?

I feel for him, it cannot be nice to feel nervous in your own home but that isn't a good enough reason for getting a dog (any dog not your Vinnie). I am sure he will get over his disappointment.

Well, that last pic of Vinnie has truly scared the pants off me Shona!!!!!!
He'd make a fantastic lap, ooooops sorry, guard dog wouldn't he!!!!! He's a real little treasure, no wonder you couldn't part with him. He's got the softest look in those eyes in that last pic, he wouldn't scare me off in a hurry, and as you know, some of these dogs CAN actually scare me,
but not this one!No doubt he knows his job when in the right hands though, and would defend if and when necessary, but I'm sorry, he looks too darn soft to me in those pics

Seriously, some people eh - even if you did have a dog to sell, this approach pretty much shows what the guy actually thinks of dogs.
I do feel for him though & pehaps Douggie can help him out in some other way.
