    Taking the pets, particularly the dogs, of the Brits would be the one thing that would guarantee insurrection

    Only a lunatic government would try that here. Even Starmer and his motley crew aren’t THAT stupid

    The doggie business is massive here in UK. As a lifelong septuagenarian dog owner then, lots of the modern UK dog owners drive me nuts. They are so damned precious about their dogs

      My 2 dogs
      Blue and Dora

      I wouldn’t rate the chances very highly of anyone who dared to lift a finger against Larry the Downing Street cat.

        Blue would give him a run for his money!
        She takes no shit, she’s a Staffy
        🙂

      My Son has 9 dogs. 5 lurchers, three spaniels and an Aus cattle dog cross called Bindy. She’s a lovely while rough dog with people but is a handful if she sees a cat, and Larry would save the Son from feeding her.

          Dora looks like a good old girl Pete. I had a Black Lab bitch called Bracken. She was great. I used to train her for shooting when I was into that, and she was amazingly easy to teach. Alas sadly missed. I’m not allowed another as it would very likely outlive me.

          • pete fairhurst 2 says:

            She’s an absolute beaut Ian, so obedient, faithful, gentle and loving. 13 years old now and can only manage the morning walk

            Like all Labs she’s greedy though, her definition of food is so incredibly broad that it is mind boggling, often utterly disgusting. In fact field “food” is the ONLY thing that she disobeys me for. Her favourite is sheep placenta at lambing time. I don’t mind that, it’s very nutritious 🙂

            • ian says:

              Yep, Brack’ used to steal raw potatoes from the cupboard and used to hide behind the shed to eat them. In the end that’s when I knew she was finished, she wouldn’t eat.

    Several Snake People were involved, from the snitch on up.

    The snakes did this, to hurt people, because the can.

    For me, this simply is the last straw. I know it sounds nuts, but it really isn’t.

    Long live PNut. Down with Snake People.

    Keep your 4 legged friends close… and your trigger finger well oiled. -pk

    Oh dear, all you dog lovers. I’m not fond of dogs but I adore cats and nobody seems to be backing me up! Giving Larry a cuddle would be high on my wish list.

    • pete fairhurst 2 says:

      We’ve got 2 cats as well Belyi, they are great animals too. Just that they are far more independent and far less needy. Not much use for taking out for walks either 🙂

      • Belyi says:

        That’s what I like about them, their independence. The also wash themselves and bury their droppings. Dogs just do the job and walk away. When a cat doesn’t want to be with people, he just walks away and he is an excellent judge of character.

        • ian says:

          You mustn’t grow vegetables then Belyi. Nothing nice about cats burying their droppings in your seed rows. Especially when you have the only veg’ garden in the area. At least dogs do it where you can see and thus avoid it.

          • pete fairhurst 2 says:

            My thoughts too Ian. Surprise cats parcels are the bane of veg growers lives. I’ve found myself with a handful far too many times. My old dad was a keen veg gardener back in the day. He hated cats for exactly that reason, his was the only veg garden nearby

            He was so pissed off with all the many local cats doing their business in his patch that he made himself a powerful catapult and armed himself with some ball bearings. One ping with that and they rarely came back

            I was very impressed and made my own catapult, not for cats but for general young boy stuff, seagulls and grey squirrels were fair game. I graduated to a BB gun when I was about 8, then a .177 before a .22. That was as far as I got with guns. Still got a .22 for when wood pigeons plague my veg patch

          • Belyi says:

            If you watch carefully, you’ll see that cats usually prefer the gardens of other people.

            As for dogs doing it where you can see it, I would hope that the dog owner picks it up. What’s nicer than a soft, steaming bundle in a thin plastic bag? Have you ever nearly fallen over sliding on a filled bag that has been left on the pavement? Where I live either the faeces or the bags are all over the place.

            • ian says:

              Yes Belyi I know what you’re saying, and I’m a softie. I go out shouting at the neighbour’s cat and it then comes over rubbing against me and I end up stroking it. I agree on dogs too. I occasionally get roped in walking dogs, and end up carrying plastic bags back. Many don’t.

            • pete fairhurst 2 says:

              Yes they do! They love veg patches

              As for those bags then, the idiots who bag the stuff up and leave it nearby in a plastic bag do my head in, some folk are morons

              The advantage of country living is that nature usually deals with it effectively all by itself. I bag it if on, or near, the path. But my dogs seem to mainly choose places that are well off the beaten track, in which case I leave it alone. I sometimes check a day or two later and I usually find that it’s gone. Maybe the crows, maybe something else, but job done

    • ian says:

      I don’t mind cats Belyi, We had two a while ago. Patch and Suzy. Patch was pretty naughty and catty, Suzy was a kind and beautiful cuddly cat, so like people, they’re all different. Even ferrets, out this bunch there weren’t two the same.

  5. Belyi says:

    Have you noticed that this is a subject on which we all have views and can state them without seeking to upset other people?

    The Brits and their animals is a long love affair that shows no signs of waning.

    • pete fairhurst 2 says:

      A very good point Belyi

      As I said at the start of this convo then, no sane government would ever interfere with that here in UK. Cats and dogs enrich lives, they give out love and good vibes to their owners. Dogs particularly have an incredible way of knowing by some form of remote spirit perception. Somehow they just KNOW

      The stories of WW2 aircrew who had a loved dog back at the squadron base, for comfort and personal company, are a case in point. There are many tales of the dog somehow knowing the precise moment that their loving master was dying over Germany. They became distraught and agitated at the same time that he was passing, sometimes thousands of miles away

      • Belyi says:

        There is a book by Rupert Sheldrake called something like ‘Dogs who know when their owners are coming home’. Although my parents’ cat knew when my mother was arriving and lined up to greet her at the garage door.

        • pete fairhurst 2 says:

          Thanks Belyi, I just bought it
