Which is a common occurrence among all pet owners here and why we probably have a surplus of wild dogs and feral cats.

I think we have a obligation to get pets that are suitable for our surroundings.
I guess you could have a tiger as a pet, but if you live next to a daycare, a tiger might not be an appropriate choice.
Having your creepy Uncle live with you next to the daycare would be a poor choice as well.

It's not a cure all, Butch.

S'right Jim, I feel sorry for pit bulls and the like who are "kept" by inadequates to show their manliness, but they've no place as pets in urban settings.

It helps a lot, Mick.
When it is hanging from your throat, at least.
I have no use for them, just like I wouldn't keep a nuclear weapon with a hair trigger as a pet.

Love him!
He's starting to come into himself as he gets more comfortable here. Doing better than I expected at learning. Did some more "people socialization" today at the pet store and at home and he did really well. He wanted to play last night and I 'bout fell out of my chair laughing at his antics...he can be a real clown when the mood hits him

I went on holiday. Whilst away I possibly discovered the most awesome thing ever. I now want a pack of sled dogs.

You look good on a sled! Natural even!

I was in Andorra, in the Pyrenees. We won a drinking quiz and Rachael got 'mushing' as a prize. I thought it would be just a ride on the sled, but turned out you could actually run the dogs yourself, so I paid for us to go again after she'd had a go.
I got on really well with Julio the handler, an Argentinian who spends 6 months of the year here. He said the dogs responded really well to me and took us back to see a pile of puppies. The dogs are mostly Husky / Malamute / spanish hunting dog mix.
Fabulous feeling though, running the dogs fleet across the snow. We're looking at taking a holiday above the arctic circle, maybe Finland or Sweden, running a dog sled for 5 or six days, and hopefully seeing plenty of northern lights.
Sometime next year I might get myself a pair of Northern Innuit dogs and a sled for the beach.

Svalbard sounds like a good trip. I fancy some forest trails though too

Awesome, Ed.
There are a couple of sled dog trainers hereabouts. They like to train teams on the local National Forest back roads. Most of the year, the dogs pull an ATV in neutral, with the driver on board. Fun to see, and visit with on occasion, in the course of my regular rounds, back before retirement.
