    Probably what triggered him was the grey background which is what people do when someone dies.

    Mrs Solid came with dowry which was a mix of Border Collie and something else (probably Lab or retriever ) and she ate thru the kitchen plasterboard exposing the wiring luckily before we got together

    Had to clear up the bloody messes the stupid dog made in every one of their escapades, as I recall. <whistle>

    Well done to the cat for protecting the little boy but it's hardly extraordinary. It's normal cat behaviour, see a dog, try and scratch it's eyes out. <whistle>

    Our dogs are super cool with cats; they've been raised with them. Trust them 100%.

    That said, we accidentally adopted two kittens one older than the other several years ago. They didn't know the dogs were cool yet.

    The eldest of the two, despite being just tiny himself would come running across the room to "save" his sister if he saw a dog approaching. He would arch his tiny back and hiss and scare off the two dogs every time they tried to make friends with the other kitten.

    It's quite something seeing a six month old kitten come running to the defence of his three month old playmate to scare off a pitbull and a lab.

    True. Really, really poor taste for that alone. It's just an unbelievably disrespectful picture and post.

    To lighten the mood someone posted (paraphrasing) 'it's not even accurate, Luis Suarez for Rickie Lambert was the biggest upgrade in the club's history'.

    Think somebody else has cited Trent for Clyne, but I have to tell you, Clyne, before he went off the rails, was the best RB we'd had since Rob Jones, imo. I include Johnson in that assessment, too. And Finnan. Trent doesn't belong in the same company as any of those four mentioned names as a RB. And I say that without any bitterness towards his move.

    Well, okay.. just a tad. :bandit:

    for actual RB's in the traditional sense Finnan all day long for me . Seriously underated for me

    Indeed. I stick to my guns, though, that Clyne was a far, far better RB than Trent could ever dream of being. They all were, those I mentioned.

    Trent was a far better player than Clyne just wasn't ever a good RB but was a brilliant supplier of chances / goals

    Arbeloa was also a fantastic RB. Really hard to pick between him and Finnan.

    Well, as we all know, Trent isn't really a RB. He wants to be a midfield general strolling about spraying balls, not doing all that running stuff getting tired and sweaty like.
    Watching Szoboszlai play RB - he was doing all the things that Trent does and also defending really well - he runs and runs and seeing his performances there has made me less concerned about the injury problems of the regular RBs.

    I wouldn't argue with that. Overused comparison, but he's the closest player to another Beckham that England has produced since the player himself.

    Agreed; it would him plus one other FB for me too since he could play right out left. I loved Rob Jones so is probably pick him but Arbeloa and Robbo would be better picks.

    Finnan was the best crosser with his wrong peg I've seen too.

    unfortunately they have a manager who selects Henderson and Loftus-Cheek <laugh>

    i becoming convinced he is after being sacked for the pay off

    What a great girl. Sorry for your loss. It is sad when you lose a dog, as someone once said 'the only problem with dogs is they don't stay around long enough'.

    You won't forget her and a new dog will never be a replacement but could be the start of a brand new adventure.

    Of course- nothing is better than when the cats and dogs both get along...
    Our Lab-mix robo-hip mutt getting her face chewed off by our rescued dumpster kitten:
    (if every dog was like her, I wouldn't be so opposed to getting another dog some day... the other dog is equally good with the cats and allows herself to be chewed on and tortured by the kitten)

    That's a good life lesson metaphor right there - nothing is better than when the cats and dogs both get along.

    I have three dogs
    The largest of my dogs is certain she is a cat and sits on the window sill
    I will always get another dog when one passes as too many need homes
    Two cats - will always have two same reason lmao
    Both cats believe they are dogs one hundred percent - when we go on our walk in the evening they follow us the entire way - it’s surreal

    2 rabbits and 7 guinea pigs
    Oh and two children <laugh>
