Biggest Mistake I've Ever Made !
Quote from jkwebster06 on July 4, 2025, 8:29 pmJust 3 (long & tiring) weeks ago I succumbed to my wife's need to get a puppy - we've always had a dog, even in BAOR from where I even paid for 6 months quarantine for a wee cross spaniel to rejoin us. However, I just hadn't realised this time, to get a mischievious tinker of a puppy at my time of life, with my creaking knees, a bad back etc etc, was a BIG mistake, and good as he is , sometimes when he indicates he wants the toilet etc my ailing body is too slow to react....
He's the most loveable Cockerpoo, full of beans, a real character, and we love him to bits but it doesn't stop me thinking , "It's the biggest mistake I've ever made" !! John JKW

Quote from fpeall on July 7, 2025, 7:00 pmGood to see you back John. You have probably selected just about the livliest dog available but I am sure as it matures it will quieten down! Sadly I have just buried my daughters dog that I looked after when she is out and about. He was a real mongrel borderXstaffiXjack russel but at seventeen succumbed to some sort of mouth cancer. Dogs really do become part of the family and of course are sadly missed. Anyway in your case I am sure you will get over your 'biggest mistake' The main thing is that you sort out that ailing body!
