Twelve? Blimey. We had 7 at one time. I've had cats too, and a pet goat

Very. I decided that if I had to go on insulin in the future I'd have her trained to be a hypo alert dog. I absolutely adore her and as an assistance dog she could go everywhere with me.
You'll have to fight the other half for him! and he's an ex copper..

It's mad. Most of them are whippets and (apart from one) are all closely related to each other, great grand dad is our oldest. We race them and they stay with us once they've retired from racing.
Wow a pet goat?

To all Forum Members with a dog called Boris. I will offer you as trade, my nephew's cat which curiously is also called Boris.
@donnellysdogs , I think I need a newfiepoo! Would fit perfectly with my two chiwawhatevers, one partdenco, two dog-loving cats and of course my fourteen guinea-pigs. The two handicapped pigeons, rabbits and chicken wouldn't mind either I think. And I think Oldvatr has to learn to live with the fact his thread turned into a dog-thread. At least we are all friendly to eachother!
Gorgeous dogs. I’d love to have a dog but live in a very small flat and am out at work all day, so will have to wait until one or both of those changes. However, our CEO is blind and has a guide dog, which we’re allowed to play with - quite often he (the CEO) will go to internal meetings and leave the dog in his office. Cue me going in to play!
Not very good pic of him below

Daisy is 9 months old now and weighing 75lb. Fully grown will probably be about 100lb..
Proctor & Gamble were interested in her as a similar dog to the one in flash advert... but she is my therapy dog in my mind. She wakes now at 2.55 and jumps on bed to make sure I do my 1st injections... I am (trying!) to train her as a hypo/hyper alert dog too. (Licks my face though-doesnt get my blood kit)...
If I am well enough in 18 months time and health not deteriorated further I would like her to have a litter of pups as she is so very, very special (to me and hubby!!).
My diabetic consultant did mention to me how they actually recomend a dog for health and wellbeing now. Every letter to my GP from consultants mentions Daisy as well!!
Sorry for derailing (I used to do this a lot!!-lol).... but I am also concerned of good genuine folk saying good-bye and this is upsetting. Its bad enough when folk get banned but folk shouldnt be made to feel upset or bad from a forum of some wonderful people. I have had good n bad vibes from forum people sometimes but please take a break and come back if needed.. please dont permanently walk away...

Wow - she's gorgeous!
Our cat died, suddenly aged 10, 18 months ago.
He was magnificent in all senses of the word.
We are now catless... er... we are no longer owned. We miss our servitude, the nightly rituals of requesting permission to occupy furniture, the humble offering of food, the reward of his attention... everything, really.

They do have a way of taking over your life and leave massive empty bits when they go. I still very much miss all the dogs and cats I've shared my life and home with.
