Large dogs are out for me 'cause I can't walk far enough to exercise them. @Ramana - I look forward to reading your post. @Magpie - Super Soaker! Boys will be boys. :roll: @Judy - My sister's cats insist on jumping on my knee & sticking their sharp claws into me. At home I am plagued with other peoples cats using my garden as a toilet. I hope we can stay friends. @Elf - My sister’s dogs are Shelties and they seem to constantly cast as well as bark. Large dogs are out for me ’cause I can’t walk far enough to exercise them.

I was never any good at training them, though. I love cats and I have to say that I have a hard time trusting people who don't like them. But not you! If I ever have another dog, I’ll try that.

It is all in the training...children and dogs...I get fed up with my profession being blamed for all the ills of society when we have to combat so much ill discipline from home..... As for dogs...little ones I do not like....not even my Grandmother's Cairn Terriers (all called Trudi)....Long haired ones are a liability...I love Staffs! A good training tool is a loosely rolled newspaper...a tap across the nose with this is as good as a vinegar spray as it makes a noise and does no physical harm. Must get a Super Soaker (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hasbro-Super-Soaker-XP-270/dp/B00004S831) and fill it with Vinegar to turn on the foxes...... True!

I am learning from you. I am not able to get up enough courage to post some of the things that I observe. I shall however try tonight to post about something that has been troubling me and which came to head earlier this evening.

But small dogs are noisy beggers and I cant stand it. Large dogs (especially boxers) I love, but have no room for. Cats seemed to be the only option, small and quiet so good for apartment living. With this idea.... perhaps my GF's plan for a dog isn't so far fetched. Will have to think about it. Elf. Only note is I hate the smell of vinegar too.... perhaps I am closer to the yorkie dog than the chocolate bar.... Hmmm… see I like dogs.
