|
i am not able to look after one, some things, not others
tt will be as muttless as me
i wonder if we will go to the dog walks without a mutt and come back with a new chum?
a few phone calls would be canine tinder time
it will not be a saluki(oh dear), they do need experienced homes(oh dear, we are) love em to bits, although they are rather demanding of their staff
they are hypoallergenic
retired racer, maybe
ex bad boy, im too shabby to fight it when it does not understand it has a new life with dainty rules or flips savagely at some trigger, no, although they are fun
another Besenji in the family might work , handbag sized but clever and of a nice demeanour, trainable and independent
a bit less bonkers than salukis
if i was up for long ambles and outdoor life my first choice would be wolf
and part W or well-bred and chosen general purpose for urban or outdoor life
a sleep on the sofa and be amusing at times senior might be about my level of mutt keeping now
however, a pup would only get bad habits i gave it
i do not think i am capable of mutt care above be firm and kind without undue exertion
mutt or no mutt is tt's call, muttless is weird, one was strange none is very peculiar
i will find out what the plan is later, if there is one |

re mutt mines, if anyone needs a mutt, between us we can match them to bonzo
i have been in the informal and formal permanent sofa game for decades, supply is not an issue
i wonder if training assistance dogs for domestic would be fun?
i have mutt and crip on the cv, oh er well phoooooooooofh,ummm
that might not be as daft as it seemed when i first thought of it
if i could train one to do, it would almost do my job for me with training subsequent students as well as being useful itself(and having its own me time)
(it might take a few to find the keeper)
i might float that idea very gently, in many ways it would make more sense than various other mutt options, iirc most domestic assistance are small to medium, clever, biddable and eager to learn
it aint "tricks" if it has a purpose, tricks can be fun as well though
mutts are very receptive to direction, salukis have useful servants
i will consider this, youngster training as mobility assistance might be fun and useful, more research before i even mention it |
