... Alternatively, you could try living somewhere other than a crack den, for example.

There are none *in* the flat, just running about outside.

I've got some Dalmatian Mollies for sale. They got all their vaccinations and certifications. Their parents breed for fun so I'm just looking at 50p a fishy.

Is it any good at catching rats?

With a few mods, you could probably customise its programming to do that, yes.

This is an IT forum right ?

So, think like one, and get a Sony Aibo. You can still get them if you know where to look.

1. No mess, no crap, no hassle.
2. Turn it off when you want.
3. It won't chew the furnishings.
4. You won't be subjecting a animal to human cruelty by incarceration for your own selfish ends.
5. You can mod them.
6. It barks, makes noises, and wags it tail in a cute way, and it will love you, if that's what your ego demands.
7. It won't hump your leg.
8. It doesn't fart, eat it's own muck and then lick your face.
9. It's probably more intelligent than the average dog anyway.
10. It knows tricks already. No need to teach it.

we have 2 rescued Guinea pigs and 2 rescued moggies -all are fine and dandy.

I used to have a rescue hamster.



Yes, I did say hamster. And it was rescued. From some numpties who thought it would make a good pet for a new baby. It bit the baby. My brother was there; he prevented them from stamping on the hamster and took it in while he found a good home for it. He failed to find one, so I got it.



Said hamster chewed a trench in my VERY expensive salopettes.

what breed of pup did you go for? does your missus stay at home to look after them or do you leave them to destroy your house while you are out funding it?

Ours are Staffordshire Bull Terriers ( Mostly, we think. Mum was a Staffy, Dad was unknown but may have been an English Bull Terrier ). I'm not getting into a discussion about the breed, I'm fed up of arguing with people about "killer dogs".

MrsB is at home at the moment, we probably woudn't have got them if she wern't. One would be a lot less work than two, but we still wouldnt leave a young pup alone in the house for any great length of time. It's bad for the dog as well as the furniture.

Don't buy one, rescue one from a shelter.
