Default We are not even there yet.............

and my 16 year old keeps on about getting a dog.

We have agreed on the conditions that he takes sole responsibilty. (Thats a bloody joke)

he now wants to know if there are any dog homes in perth and will he be able to get a boxer.

My thoughts are :scared: :scared:

We are here and my son is trying to blag my head to get a bloody snake, a sharpei dog and a blue tongue lizard, you can guess my answer

so think yourself lucky yours only wants a boxer dog. We bought a maremma dog on Sunday and he is beautiful like a little sheep looks a lot nicer than a snake me thinks....good luck anyway

Ah ha.. toby has just sold his snakes.

I hate the things but to tell the truth I didnt even know they were there half the time.

Mind you there was no way I would have held them
My youngest, Jake had a couple of Gekoes. They were really cute. However he lost one. Dont ask me how, but it disappeared.

He has also just sold the last ready for our move.

Will i be able to get a boxer in Perth?

What is it with kids and dogs?? Our daughter only agreed to go if we could get a dog when we got there. Like you I said as long as she took responsibility for it. I know that's a laugh and I'll be the one out at 05:30 in the morning walking it!!!

A mate of mine used to breed boxers. The main thing that sticks in my mind from my memories of them is they spend most of their time with huge gloops of slobber hanging out of their mouths....eeeewww!!!
