What......ever. People fighting over a dog? Pfft.

I live alone. My companion dog died in early September. I’d give anything for her not to have had cancer and not to have died at age 11 years.

I think this is a bunch of British crap. What DO they call crap in ‘the King’s English?’ “Crawp?”

If a family is arguing over dog issues...in only is a reflection of how they learned (or did NOT learn) to “argue” or communicate....sheesh....I just got peeved at my husband this a.m. who took the cone off our dog (recent leg surgery)...and left it downstairs...I chose to take a quick shower, and subsequently the dog chose to chew her bandage...so I got to spend an extra 2 hours at the vet today....so goes life!!! Some people need to get a life...LOL

No byline for the author at the website. Given this story comes from the U.K., I would surmise that his name is Mohammad.......

“What DO they call crap in ‘the King’s English?’”

A load of shite or bollocks, either one works.

LOL. That is because all of the family’s neuroses are projected onto the family dog:

I don’t get in arguments over dogs. They’re too high-maintenance for me to bother owning one.

sigh all I’m allowed is some goldfish and crayfish... wife is terrified of animals as she wasn’t permitted to grow up around them.

It isn’t the dogs, it is the peoples.

[cripplecreek]

they will next outlaw dogs next in Britain

Can we trade their dogs for our muslims?

[rabidralph]

I think they mean which rooms the dog has access to roam.

Not that I’ve been married a lifetime (21 years) but IMHO... if a couple is fighting over the dog.. there is a whole lot of other issues at hand. Their fighting over the toilet seat, the toothpaste cap, socks on the floor etc... in plain language: They are just fighting period.
