I debated whether or not to get on my soapbox about last nights Dangerous Dogs but I think I'm all opinioned out after lots of conversations on Facebook last night. I get the main point that neglected and abused dogs can be aggressive but there was one dog there who after seven days in kennels turned out to be the soppiest dog ever. So that isn't always the case.
I also fail to understand how the owners of a Japanese Akita who had been abandoned for a week were given a written warning yet the girl who didn't pick up her dogs poo got an instant £50 fine!
A man whose dog had ten puppies and who had sold six of them at four weeks for £50 each wasn't offered to have his bitch spayed, even if this was done for free it would cost less than the dog warden having to visit him. It would be one less dog breeding.
Next time it's more about enforcing the law around dangerous dogs so I'm hoping it'll be more interesting and less one sided.
So you got some of my opinions after all!
Today is my Stepdads birthday, so this morning we cycled (again) to mums house with pressies and a balloon to wish him a lovely day.
They are coming round on Sunday for lunch as way of a celebration as we were all busy today.
This afternoon Callum made a cottage pie to take to mums for their lunch tomorrow and we've made an oblong sponge ready
to be decorated for his birthday cake.
Eden had two friends for tea and they've all gone to Youth Club, we've got the usual Beavers and Scouts going on.
Sport Relief is on tonight so I'm off to watch that, I'm not sure I'll be staying up until the early hours to watch it all, I'll see how long I last!
I didnt see the programme last night so cant comment. Looks like you are in for a busy weekend too, we have family for a birthday lunch on Sunday, its my daughter in laws 38 th birthday. I will be baking my cake tomorrow. Dont think i will be staying up either to watch tv, i have a good book!
ReplyDeleteI didn't really want to watch it Karen but found I couldn't stop!
ReplyDeleteI'm knitting, watching Sport Relief and on Facebook! That's what I call multitasking!
I really notice the difference between Jack and Snippet even though Jack had only been with his previous owners for four weeks. That lack of security has coloured his behaviour massively. Manageable but not the same as Snippers at all.
ReplyDeleteLike all of us I suppose, the experiences of our childhood mark us forever!
DeletePS - Any chance of getting rid of the word/number verification thingy on your blog? You could always do comment moderation instead??? They drive me mad and it took me nine months of blogging before anyone alerted me to the fact that mine was on! Ah.....I'm going to have to do it again now aren't I! xx
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise it was on and don't actually know how to turn it off. I use to have moderation on my comments on my older blog. I'll have a look at it x
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the programme, but the point you make about a girl being fined £50 for not cleaning up after her dog and yet someone who abandons their dog for a week gets off scot free sounds ludicrous. Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow, it's my dad's birthday today so we popped round this morning with cards and gifts.
ReplyDeleteI did think it was just ridiculous Jo. My step dad had a great day. He's coming round for lunch today by way of a celebration x
