I like the name Pogo, but teddy also very cute too. My OH really wants a dog but i said no as i would be the one looking after it and i am not really an animal person - i agreed on a goldfish but ended up with a tank of tropical fish! I still think he looks lovely though

i'm allergic to most pets so have kind of made myself a non pet person ...but kids really want a dog (well especially DS1!) so i would feel awful not ever getting one for him. I had dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, ponies, parrots, hamsters, fish, and other animals that escape my mind right now growing up so i feel guilty not getting them anything lol!

I just hope they all want to help look after him after the initial 'yay we have a puppy' period wears off :rotfl:

please-let-me-be-lucky

I've just caught up on your diary after being offline yesterday and aw the puppy is soooooooo cute . And bless your Dad :A what a wonderful thing to do.

morning

Well this morning my kids have taken the 2 dog beds we bought (spoilt pup already lol) and have their teddy doggies in there and are playing with them lol.

I've been on ebay this morning and for some reason i can't log on:eek: it is telling me my username & password are both wrong :eek: i've had that account for nearly 9 years so i know the username!!! i wonder if they have suspended me ??? but for what reason??? -perhaps dumping them and selling on gumtree for FREE or facebook to avoid P&P costs??! :rotfl: oh well. Bit annoying though really!

Oh and Polly I forgot to add the pup is a miniature schnauzer

today i'm picking up a huge bundle of boys clothes for ds2 that i bought on fb £10 for over 20 items :T that should last him a fair while :j

Right anyway kids fighting, dd doesn't want ds2 biting the dogs toy (which is what it is for anyway *doh*) be back later folks :A

All sounds very busy as usual. I love the name Teddy but Pogo is also very cool!

A bit random, however maybe an idea for when he is older. If you put him out to stud as he's from good breeding lines, he could earn you some cash? We are on a list waiting for a puppy in Australia which should be ready to come home with us October. The breeders are friends of friends, and they pay them $500 every time their dog is put out to stud successfully. Saves on neutering fees too:money:.

I haven't quite gotten round to trying out the facebook selling, as I'm having a successful revival on Gumtree at the mo! Take care xx J

well i'm pretty bl00dy mad right now :mad: i placed an order with toys r us beginning of month. Order appears to be taking a loooooong time to reach me so i email them. No order was dispatched 5th may?? i should have had it !!!!!!! SO they have offered to send items out again. BUT i reckon they won't actually have any of the items in stock now as ALL were half price or better! What am i supposed to do now? Do i have any rights? They've had my money for nearly a month :mad:

Have just put £50 in petrol for going to mums house tomorrow too, not quite full and i expect it will drop once we get onto motorway quite quickly. We're pretty much broke now too so will have to raid an account for money on sunday to get puppy

Poor you sending thoughts of choccy biscuits to help you feel better. I would be writing a strongly worded email or rant on phone to them asking them to ensure they will definatley be sent and are in stock. So annoying

thanks slm

Well i've hopefully sold £13 worth of stuff on fb. £7 for some jeans (i paid £4 from charity shop ) £3 for some shorts (i paid £1) and also a lil dungaree set that a friend gave me for £3 (free to me obviously ) i think there is a living to be made in this if only i could be bothered lol.

Also having to hold the jeans as a friend wants them but has no money till pay day! But all money i want to go to savings anyway so will be good for me to see out this month as it is -me being broke!

A little hive of industry as always. If Toysrus said they would resend the order, then hopefully they have checked stock levels to make that promise. If not, I smell a rant coming on..............:cool:
