I know at least one dog owner who flounts the law willy nilly. Have dogs, breed off them then dispose of them when they're no longer breedable or a trendy breed comes along. They don't care about licenses and such, they just want a popular breed.

Just checking my emails and this update came up re the Pet Abduction Bill, seems it's been approved by the MP's in the House of Commons and is now off to the House of Lords. Here's the link if anyone fancies a read, one small step in the right direction hopefully!

At a very quick look, if I was living with someone and bought/adopted a dog, then the 'someone' left, they could take the dog with them. It doesn't seem to account for the possibility that only one party would 'own' the dog. Which doesn't feel right to me.

I took my granddaughter to see next door's puppies today To my surprise she wasn't wildly enthusiastic about them - I think she was a bit thrown when their male Boston came up to say hello and rather got in her face. After all, he does look rather different to the cocker/cavapoos she's used to! It's just as well really, as they still try to suckle fingers, but those teeth are SHARP!! The pups are looking great, apart from one, clearly the runt of the litter, who never managed to suckle and had to be handfed. She is tiny, bless her, and skinny, and looks a bit wobbly on her pins. I think they said they have a buyer lined up for her, though I do wonder why someone would choose a pup who really didn't look that healthy.

They also had to take another pup to the vet today - after our visit, so I don't know the outcome. Another pup had managed to tear its cornea with its claw, and there's a chance the eye will have to be removed. I'll be popping my head over the fence if I see them to ask how it went.
