That is the question . .

So me and Mel have been discussing what we’re going to do for a pet when our final little rat Ruby succumbs to old age, as per usual the subject turned to getting a dog, now don’t get me wrong I’m well up for a dog, but I want a proper dog, not some nabby pamby thing that makes me look like either a puff or the husband of a woman with a blue rinse.

Mel wants to get a Scottie Dog which I must admit is fairly tempting, but to be honest I’d rather have a Schnauzer, ideally a giant one, but which ever dog we decide on I know Mel’s going to want to smother it and treat it to all kinds fo things that will end up costing us a fortune and make the dog look a right idiot . .

On the subject of such treats etc did you know you can now buy for your stressed dog a Music CD called “music for healthy pets,” which has a cute puppy on the cover. The Japanese veterinarian Norio Aoki claims that, “Cheerful but serene music is good for dogs and romantic music is good for cats.”, now I wonder who told him that, did he just happened to have Dr Doolittle nearby translating for him or even better how about if your dog got a date with a member of the opposite sex and wants to smell her best for this little encounter, well not to worry you can always go and buy it some “La Pooch” fragrance, described by the manufacturer as “A delightfully light combination of fresh white florals with a hint of green and fruity notes“.

What is the world comming to 🙁
