Lovely dogs....

Just got a new 14 week old kitten..OMFG he is a nightmare.... We have had 3 cats previously, and down to 1 plus the new addition.. he is a little bugger, but great fun.

Make sure you have plenty of things for it to chew on or it will find something.

Forget that. Even if he has a gazillion things that he's allowed to chew, he will go for the stuff you don't want him to.

Fantastic. Best dogs in the World. Intelligent, loyal, loving, protective. They need a good 5 miles a day, which sounds a chore but is very pleasant.

Not all chew (my Lemmy didn't) but many do, so be prepared. Lots of toys, lots ofmplay, don't let him get bored.

Dogify the house, that means nothing in chewing range that you don't want chewed or eaten. and good luck!

Just got a new RC plane and left the wings on the floor for a bit . The kitten that visits me decided to do puddings on them

He won't be little for long.

Enjoy, lovely dogs

Make sure s/he's fully insured. I'd always go with Petplan for comprehensive insurance, if not the cheapest

Weighed my boy the other day, 74lbs, and he looks lean and trim. Just like me

He's light. Mine weighs 37Kg. He's not overweight, at his lightest he was 35Kg fully grown.

The best dogs in the world are Patterdale terriers and this is indisputable. I concur with the exercise thing though, plenty of exercise, and then more exercise, leads to a happy and well behaved dog

The crossbars that join wooden chair legs prove absolutely irresistible to puppies. A manic beaver couldn't wreak more havoc.
