Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted December 26, 2012 Lardy, did you watch "The Snowman and the Snowdog"? Awwwww. Me and my two canine companions were in floods of tears. Well, I was. No, I haven't watched any Christmas telly due to it all being a pile of shite. I am currently having a nice quiet afternoon in an empty house catching up with Dallas on the Sky+ box. And after that I have two Frankie Boyle DVDs and the MotoGP 2012 review to watch in peace. Hurrah! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty In Pink 1 Posted January 1, 2013 Came across this while surveying a Lincolnshire Estate. This must have been a well loved dog! It reads: Pompey 1885 - 1901 My friend is fled, my Pompeys dead His joyous bark is heard no more His name, the leaves through Walcots trees Shall sadly sigh for evermore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted January 1, 2013 My parrot (Amazon orange wing) seemed to take a stroke last night and fell off her perch. Went to the vet today, she got steriods and anti biotics (for a stroke?). She's only about 15-20 years old and we've had her about 13 years Doesn't look too promising for her Sadly, she died about an hour ago. :( Sorry for your loss PB . I have always wanted a parrot , is it true some live for 80 or more years ? Would you recommend them as a good pet ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolAnn 926 Posted January 5, 2013 The day after Christmas we had to euthanize my mother's cocker spaniel Kaydee. She had been ill for a year with dilated cardiomyopathy and lung cancer. Her tumor spread and she couldn't fight it anymore. I miss her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always wanted a parrot , is it true some live for 80 or more years ? Would you recommend them as a good pet ? I don't know how on earth I missed your post Engineer, sorry for not replying sooner. They make great pets, especially if you get them from a young age and the pick up talking. They can be comical at times. My other parrot is an African grey and a fantastic talker. Only took a weekend to teach it to say my name. Once she picked it up, it came out with 'Hello Paul' (Not my real name of course, but I'm sure you get my drift) Always says 'Bye' when I'm going out to work in the morning and a 'Hello' when I come back in. As for how long they live, probably between 30 - 50 years. I suppose there will be exceptions and some may live on to a ripe old age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I denfitely want one or two as a family pet when i settle down (african grey and a macaw) and and i like the fact they live so long too. I guess there will be alot to learn though so i best study before i buy one lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if your bored with nothing to do having sex is alot easier and more pleasureable than making cat porn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
