Ten reasons NOT to have a dog.

[Nihal]

they chase cyclist - unless you take the time to train them properly.

Cats are just too lazy to do that.All they want to do is eat,sleep and purr contently.<thinks how life would have been if me had been a cat>

Who told you to spill all that food on the sofa

Guinea pigs are quieter, smaller and cheaper and do the job equally well.

They're generally brill and smell nice too .... love 'em.

I wish, he's been good as gold, nearly a year old and the suddenly started ripping chunks out of the armrest .....

1. The effort of house training them from 'new'
2. The embarrassment of them humping anything with a leg
3. Having to clean up its waste (shudder)
4. Having to take it out in all weathers and at times inconvenient to you
5. The cost of feeding it
6. No chance of impromptu weekends/last minute holidays away due to having to find a kennel or tolerant friend to look after poochy
7. Vet's fees
8. It might be a barker
9. Its farts
10. Even if all of the above could be tolerated, one day, it will die and point ten is the main reason I won't have a dog.

Most of those virtually apply to children ....

We lost our dog a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely gutted about it.
Just as I was when we lost the last ones about 14 years ago.
It won't stop me having another. Dogs are great.
