to think this isn't a positive statement?

[1973magpie]

I asked DJ if he had anything positive to say about the dog, and his reply was 'well, at least she doesn't s*&t in the kitchen very often'

Would you class this as a positive statement? (Bearing in mind that the said incident has happened twice since the dog moved into the house a few months ago after living outside, and once was when she had an upset stomach!)

Dog is 10 months old, walks well on lead, sits, offers paws, lies down etc and I think she's pretty good for her age

I can see the positive in most things, so I'd say yes.

Is this the sum total of your worries? Because if so then if I were you I'd start counting my blessings!

abusive, leave him

It's not very possitive, but at least he wasn't refereing to a child.

DJ or DP?

I'm liking the though of you phoning the local radio to ask their opinion.

Why didn't you ask him to expand on what he thinks of your dog how the fuck do you think we would know??

Lentilly don't start with the fwp shite. Just answer the question! Or don't post...
Op I wouldn't say that isn't positive but doesn't convey any nice feelings towards the dog either if thatakes sense

'I'm liking the though of you phoning the local radio to ask their opinion.'

Fucking genius.

They'd probably have more idea than us.

:o agent

What's the background to this? Has the dog been troublesome generally? Why would you be asking for positive comments about him?

Face it, he doesn't like the dog.

DH say "he's being sarcastic. He is resigned to the fact that he doesn't like the dog, but the dog isn't going anywhere"

Thanks for all the replies I think your DH may have it right Lynette it was just a silly conversation with Dh last night, & because of previous form for negativity I didn't know whether or not this counted as positive! Maybe I should phone the local radio station...do they still have advice lines?!

Ditch him. Keep the dog. Next!

Annie, you may have a point

You can't expect positive comments if someone doesn't like animals. My dh is not an animal lover... He is resigned to being my cat's favourite human and lets him sit on his lap, but it is tollerance, not affection. I gave up expecting a 'love me, love my dog' response years ago.

I'd probably say the same. And I am positive about the dog. DP on the other hand (who also likes the dog) once said, after witnessing half an hour's worth of Mad Bitey Puppy Malarkey "how long do terriers last?". I haven't left the bastard yet though.

I'd be more interested in whether the dog liked DP or not. If she didn't, then i'd have to get rid of him
