My beloved Dog it still badly missed 15 months on. The bond we had was incredible
You have nailed it there, Nibble
He's got some stick for that comment but we know exactly where he's coming from. Have you thought about getting another dog? It won't be a replacement for Harry obviously but it is possible to love more than one.

Ok then Einstein, how do you stop a cat from using something as a scratching post.
He doesn't seem to want to listen to reason.
Harry is Irreplaceable, thanks Brovion
Not a replacement, think of it as providing board and lodgings for a new friend.
We've just taken delivery of a puppy, and whilst they are hard work, the rewards and energy they give are worth the investment, both emotionally and financially.

Einstein here!
you can buy scratching post and patches to go just about anywhere now .................and put some catmint on them
the only thing our cats(3) scratch is the scratching post they have used for years

Love dogs - huge problem with dog owners who think their pet is incapable of doing anything wrong.........

Bloody hate cats.
My dog is a 14 year old Jack Russell who I named Bobby Zamora 14 years ago . He's still in good shape , although he's a bit slower than he used to be and a little prone to injury as well. However he knows where his food bowl is , can direct an excellent bark at encroaching cats and can smell a chip on the seafront from Brighton station . He is much loved and well known in central Brighton ! So get a dog if you need a friend !

our Paddy (she was a girl) Jack Russel could hear a kit-kat being opened across the level on a very windy night, she barked very loudly at cats but loved Fred the storm cat(adopted after the great storm in 1984) of all dogs we love Jacks.
BZ sounds like a character, they can be almost human.
although on a diet Paddy would still make finds and could be seen sucking the remains of a mars bar off the pavement on Union Road

I got through more than 50 years on this earth without a dog in the family - partly because I'm allergic to most.
Then, after some allergy experiments a Border Terrier puppy entered the family last May - and I can honestly say that I can't imagine life without her now.

Yesterday I saw a golden retriever playing joyfully in the water, egged on by a little boy. When my dog joined in the fun, the boy laughed solidly for about 10 minutes at the sheer pleasure of watching the dogs enjoy themselves. The mother explained that he son was autistic and it had been impossible to get him to come out but now he'd spend hours outside, playing with dogs and enjoying their company, If you'd seen the joy on that little boy's face, you'd never question why people get dogs

We got 3 of those and it makes no difference, he just heads straight for the sofa and ignores them.

put some catmint on them and try again
it is difficult once they have done the dirty deed
and you have said the word HE even more difficult with males as they love to mark their territory
That has made my Day, Gwylan. My beloved Harry was a Golden Retriever
