the reality of pet ownership please

Hi trish<
Yes we think so too! He was bred to "show" but his legs are too long! so was sold to some woman that worked full time.He had been kept in a cage that was too small for him! so he can lay and and stand, but he cant sit up. (like the sitting up to give you a paw?) anyway he has to have a course of hydrotherapy, so hopefully that will help him. The poodle rescue people are sorting this out. He is an absolute joy. He's not very good with little dogs, and likes to chase cats! but he has improved my mood more than any anti depressants!

That's so sad Diane, it makes me really angry the way some people treat their dogs. Thank God he has you now and the love he deserves.
Like you say, it's a two way thing and they can bring so much pleasure x
