    I thought this was one of those urban myths but DD has just told me that it's rife in Birmingham:eek:

    A lot of strange things happen in Birmingham.... sadly our dog is still here!

    When the streets were being filmed for google maps, our dog appears on three separate places sat at the gates watching... but she is still with us!

    It seems that the dog thieves are choosy!

    Thanks for posting this, I hate our dog and have put a big X outside :cool:

    Oh Munqui this has made me :rotfl: I could be tempted to do exactly the same at the moment :o in the last few weeks my dog has stolen chocolate, been sick on my sofa, pooped on one of the cat blankets (on purpose!) made a strategic ring of poop all the way round my rotary washing line (I also believe on purpose!) burrowed his way under the chicken fence and let them escape, dug up several plants and made a daring attempt at his own escape :eek:
    I'm sure dogs are like people and you get bad ones as well as good ones :o I had my doubts about him when not long after we got him he took himself up to my bedroom and wee'd on my bed :eek:

    He's well loved (by the kids :rotfl:) and well looked after. I think he's a woman hater :cool: :rotfl:

    Different trial areas possibly. My email contradicts the online information so someone has not been clear somewhere:
    From 2nd September 2015, we’ll take payment for the online order value of your delivery or collection once you’ve received your order. In some instances, we may need to make a subsequent adjustment to your payment on the day, for example to take into account variable weight or unavailable items. The adjustment and original online order value may appear as two separate transactions on your bank statement – but your final payment amount will always be the confirmed value at the bottom of your delivery note.

    My highlight of the final sentence - that is clear and makes sense yet the T&Cs don't.

    He is :eek: a few weekends ago I was sat outside in the evening with he chiminea going and a glass of fizz. One of the cats joined me and was on the ground enjoying the heat. I put a fleece blanket down for her so she wasn't laying on the gravel. She was still there when I went indoors.
    The chiminea is in a hidden little corner of the garden away from his usual pooping ground and is closed off. I got up in the morning and he'd managed to get in there and poop on the blanket :eek: no one is telling me that wasn't on purpose :cool:
