Pet's Corner

My pooch is not named Rover, Fluffy, Spot or Rex.
I wanted something different, so I named my puppy, Sex.
To renew my doggie’s license. I went down to City Hall.
“I’d like a license for Sex”, I said. He said, “Wouldn’t we all? ”
“You must not have understood, I need it for my mutt.”
“I really don’t care how she looks, if she’s ugly, fine or what.”
“But Sir, I must tell you, I’ve had Sex since I was four! ”
“You are no more than a braggart”, and he showed me out the door.
Newly married, we brought our pet along for the honeymoon.
I told the clerk, “A place for us and for Sex, a special room.”
“Every room has a place for sex. Every room has a bed.”
“But Sex keeps me up at night.” “It keeps me up, too”, he said.
At our divorce the court gave all my possessions to the wife
I protested, “Please Your Honor, I had Sex before my married life! ”
The judge then said that he did, too. “It’s not a real big crime.”
“But Sir, before we tied the knot, I had Sex all the time”
The judge said that I could still have sex, so I took my hound and ran.
My wife then said that she’d miss Sex, so I stayed a married man.
Last night Sex ran off again as we walked around the block.
A cop pulled up and asked me if I knew it was three o’clock.
I told him that I was looking for Sex and he took me straight to jail.
Now I’m waiting for my trial to come and can’t get out on bail.
…..if I ever get another dog,
I think I’ll name him…..”Whoopie” or “Boom-Boom”
Anything but Sex!

Vet prescription fees to be capped at £21, watchdog says Vet prescription fees to be capped at £21, watchdog says


Bet they end up creating an OfPet or something similar and introduce a price ‘cap’ that’s bound to be more than we pay now.

Problem as I see it is insurance, whenever I’ve taken a sick pet to the vets the first thing they ask is ‘are you insured’

If you say yes they then say ‘oh good, I need a new car, we’ll do lots of unnecessary expensive stuff’.

I`ve spent about £15k on vet bills and medication over the last 18 months or so. You may remember one of my cats suffered an horrendous foot injury and one of the dogs has Cushings Disease which will sadly result in us having to put her to sleep I imagine later this year, a good 2 or 3 years earlier than would otherwise have been the case.
Despite the costs I still think over the years it has been cheaper not to insure them. The cat is 16 and the dog 11 so 27 years of fees saved and all the policies I`ve looked at lately seem to have so many clauses and stipulations that any cover given is very limited.
What really pisses me off though is VAT on vet fees, HMRC has benefitted to the tune of a few grand on the back of my pets suffering.

Could you run the pets through your business to reclaim the VAT? Pest control and security? :unsure:

How is your cat doing, does she use all four paws again?

Funnily enough I did think about saying the dogs were work dogs, they have between them caught several rabbits, squirrels and one deer . I bring them to work occasionally and they seem to be keeping the rabbits, squirrels and deer at bay in the same way that I`ve never been bitten by a vampire after I`ve eaten garlic.

The cat is doing fantastically thanks. She doesn`t even limp and despite being 16 she still does all the spazzy cat moves you`d expect from a young cat.

Annie plans a busy day of sleep after overnight having caught a baby rabbit, eaten half, leaving the rest for me to find when i came downstairs to make coffee and feed the dogs.
I don't know how she squeezed her fat, full of rabbit belly in to the basket.
