Dogsnet

Dear Mnhq,

Chicken keepers have their own section which is lovely for them but us dog types would really like our own "dogsnet" so we can swap hints and tips and have a safe haven to hide in when the dog haters get busy with the pitchforks.

I promise that we all pick up the poo and walk our beautiful boys and girls in places appropriate for their behaviour.

Thank you muchly

Xx

This is silly now.

Do we really need separate topics for everything that could just go in a thread and when that gets full another started a la the shiney ones or zappatas (are they still around?)

I am loving this quote app.

DOes the background colour change according to mood I wonder? Is a Farrow and Ball colour card involved?

Bella32 · 08/09/2010 17:42

And if the answer is overwhelmingly 'rat' and the conversation moves on to caring for a rat, does the thread then have to move?

Anyway, pop over to Pets and see what everybody there thinks....

@Bella32

And seriously - seriously - a very common question on Pets is 'What is the best pet for my dc?'

Where does that go????

In pets?

Eleison · 08/09/2010 16:17

Why haven't you added a Spidersnet. Then we could have Aragog and Shelob on for a webchat.

This is madness.

What about multi-species threads, like 'my cat's started peeing indoors since we got the dog' or 'best way to introduce a puppy to a cat'? Where will you put them?

It's also going to test the knowledge of mnhq cos some threads don't explicitly mention which type of pet, but rather the authors on that subject. Ha!

Mad, mad, mad.

I have laready defiled the cat setion with the traditional opening hairball.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

Hello.

We're very pleased to announce the arrival of our new Pets category - containing the Kennel club, Fishnet, the Litter tray and Super furry animals, as well as our old favourites, Chicken keepers and The tack room.

Enjoy!

Grin and [awe] at magic quote thingy. Dog is flattered.

@Eleison

Grin

Have asked my dog, and he thinks the pet topic should just be divided into Shag, Murder, Avoid.

HaHa I think that's worthy of a magic quote thingy.

catinthehat2 · 08/09/2010 12:44

Have asked the cats and they think the dog section should be called "Enemies" and the random small fluffy section should be "Prey" or "Lunch"

Habbibu · 08/09/2010 12:36

Oh, there'll be a whole world of pedigree vs mutt bunfights.

Eleison · 08/09/2010 12:29

(But the lions can lie down with the lambs).

Eleison · 08/09/2010 12:28

Grin Aristocats?

And clearly we must not have cats among the pigeons; and the sheep must be separated from the goats.

fruitshootsandheaves · 08/09/2010 12:26

Well obviously my Persian will need her own special section

Eleison · 08/09/2010 12:24

I predict much factionalism in the small animals category, as chinchilla owners proest at being lumped in with degus etc.

fruitshootsandheaves · 08/09/2010 12:19

or maybe

Remains of the Day Grin

as the cats always leave some sort of remains in the house

Eleison · 08/09/2010 12:17

Fishnet goes without saying I suppose.

Eleison · 08/09/2010 12:14

Shouldn't the cat bit just be called 'Yes of course I Am Being Unreasonable, I'm a cat'

catinthehat2 · 08/09/2010 12:12

Please please please, can we have this for the cat bit:

"The Litter Tray"

(If you had a cat you would understand)

Habbibu · 08/09/2010 12:08

Alpaca Alley?

Eleison · 08/09/2010 12:08

Judging from MN classic threads, the hamster section should be called 'Recipes' and the guinea pig section should have a poetry topic.
