Baby sitting dogs
My son Stuart phoned up and ask if I could babysit his dog while he and Jane went south for a break.
Sure, son. He won’t be any problem.
His name is Reg and he is a ADH inflicted, amphetamine consuming, red cordial drinking teenage male Staffordshire Terrier with a disposition not unlike the Tassie Devil from the old Walt Disney cartoons .
When he visits, my 11 year old Retriever just sits and blinks. All the frantic activity is too much for her and when I came home tonight, her whole neck was wet from Reg ‘worrying’ her. She is too slow to hide
She’ll adjust and if not there is always the meat hook.
No running around up there, Reggie boy.
Note for signed up PETA and/or Green members or children: He’s hanging on a full double ‘D-ring’ harness, not his collar. I wouldn’t want him to vomit on my courtyard.
Better off there than in the council pound where you’ll be paying $40+ per day to get him back.
But what’s he like when you let him down? When ours were that age they would have gone postal.

Subdued!
Kev, you’ve opened a can of worms here. My nearest and dearest, who has no problem with Iraqi prisoners being set upon by dogs or made to form naked human pyramids has a problem with a staffy being hooked up to the roof, even if he’s in a harness- there’s a lot of pressure on his back and such. I have to admit I’m not keen on seeing one of the little buggers treated such, having owned two (and just lost one); I know they’re frustrating and a handful, and can’t offer any ideas on control methods, but I’m unsure if a defacto canine crucifixion is the answer. Staffys are the John Hopoate of the dog world, but they do calm down and are the best hound you could ever have.
PB. Calm down. He was up there for about twenty seconds. My son hung on to the dog and just backed out for the pic. The whole thing was staged. Reg and I even have a good relationship he gets to sit on my lap until he hurts me with his wriggling and we play ‘mouth my hands’ until they hurt. When I feed the old dog I put him on his leash so she can eat but otherwise he gets the run of the yard.
Dam it man you were supposed to smile, say sick bastard and move on.
Pls accept my apologies. Looks like a champion hound.
We Staffy types are a bit funny about the little sods- I’m still working up to write an obit for Wally, my mate for 16 years.
You could have at least hung him the facing the other direction so he could see what he was missing. A little physcological tourture builds character.
“Reg! Fetch!”
I think it comes down to which dog you choose to babysit. We are babysitting a neighbour’s dog at the moment. Being an older dog he’s quite happy to just lie beside my desk and quietly fill the room with hydrogen sulphide…
CRUEL PIG ….HOPE YOU ENJOY HELL!
Dont worry Madd just thinks you should have given him his last request…a cigarette and a last wish…
Dear Mate….I’m sure he’ll smoke in HELL…wishing he had balls!
Do those harnesses come in feline sizes? (Opens the mercurichrome…)
Andrea. No – with felines it’s best just to skin them and nail their hides to he wall. The only time you ever really own a cat.
Kev: Excellent! I smiled, said “sick bastard” to myself, and then read on.
MADD: You’re a twonk.
PB: Good dogs go to heaven, we all know that. So do good cats, fortunately, so there’s at least as much fun for either species up there as they have had here… %)
Yup ted All dogs & Cats go to heaven …But rats like you go to HELL!
Madd, what’s with this unhealthy interest in a religious myth? It’s hardly a debate closer.
Kev, Kind go to heaven……Cruel go to hell……No Myth to debate!
