I'd be lost without my mate.

I don't do pets... I find they're like kids... great to play with and amusing for a while, then they become irritating and require lots of work. :D

Oh your pets are all great. Hey does any one know what the organisation in Australia is that trains dogs to be alert dogs. I am extremely deaf and getting worse. I never hear knocks at my front door and now I lock the iron security door there is nowhere to knock anyway. I also do not hear my phone, alarm clock...I can almost lip read. But I need a dog for security anyway but an alert dog would be ideal and solve a lot of issues. Thanks.

Hi blackemerald1, look up Australian Support Dogs Inc. Sorry I can't post the url as I'm new and I don't have 10 posts up ...to enable that. Best wishes with it :)

Thanks for the tips on my journey to maybe getting a dog. If you want a dog you have to be prepared to give it attention but my experiences with the dogs I have had is that as the relationship between you and your dog grows the dog gives back 10 fold to what you have given.
Thanks again,

OH, blackemerald, you are brilliant! A support dog cannot be excluded from a lease! So no worries about landlords with one of those.

Anthony, I agree...probably because I am a veterinarian :p ...(a little vet humor there, just kidding)

I prefer dogs to people sometimes. Unlike humans, dogs are ready to forgive and forget, my dogs also think I'm a most perfect person who can do no wrong.

But yes they are a lot of work ;)

For the most part, I also prefer the company of dogs to people. My furball can be a pain in the backside a lot of the time but he gives me a reason to get up every day. Because he is still young, he has boundless energy and is a total goofball. I look forward to the day he is through this "brat" stage and will actually listen to me. He is a lot of work but does wonders for my sense of safety. Like KP, he thinks the world revolves around me and I am the center of his universe. I do wish he would put some of that energy elsewhere now and again but I would be sad if he did. :O_o:

i love my dog Belle. She is so scared by the thunder and the hard rain. She is cuddling my husband. She is right beside him. At least she is not shaking. She does not bark at anything. But sometimes when she gets scared she shakes really bad.

My goober barks at the thunder when it is far away. When it gets closer, he doesn't care. Of course, we haven't had many really good storms this summer. We once had a dog that was terrified of storms. We were sitting on our covered balcony when lightening hit very close. The 2 dogs looked at us as if we were crazy, turned and went inside. The younger of the two was afraid of storms the rest of her life.
