That's one way of seeing it, I guess. Personally, I'm not a fan of thinking of living creatures as possessions.

But I didn't buy it. So the buy it/own it rule doesn't apply.

What if I found 'it' on the street?

I'm not keen on 'owner'. It implies they are a possession for me to do what I want with. Guardian maybe but that's a bit clunky.

My dogs are much more interesting and attractive than me, so.

A tan and white terrier lays on his side on a sofa. His front leg is raised as a request for tummy rubs.

It doesn't need to be a strong majority, it just needs to be the main competition

That depends entirely on the voting habits of your individual constituency. If I voted Labour here, I might as well lay out the red carpet for Farage.

And protecting people from a life changing and threatening virus shouldn't be one of them? Not to mention, it's a whole lot cheaper to vaccinate someone (c. £20-40) than to treat them for both the acute and chronic effects of COVID.

They've massively changed the definition of vulnerable this year. Hubby and I have been eligible until now. Despite not having a miraculous change in health status, this year we'll have to pay to top up our COVID protection.

Trying to get this for my Mum currently but her GP only offered it on 1 day as part of an event in a hall. Yeah let's shove all the vulnerable people into the same enclosed space to vaccinate them against infectious disease. What could possibly go wrong?

Exercise is woke, innit.

I had a dog develop intolerances to multiple protein types as a cancer side effect. She was on a veggie food as Soya was ok. She loved it. My dogs now are semi veggie, most of their treats are vegan and they love them. Dogs are omnivores and many really enjoy fruit and veg.

Sometimes I just cannot fathom how beautiful she is

#DogsOfBluesky #SprogDogs

An absurdly pretty cross breed dog sits on a bed, leaning against her human's legs. She is tan with a white chest, neck, and blaze with black ears and eye patches. She has striking amber eyes and you can just see a glimpse of the softest lil tummy in the world.

Every time I drive the local main road which is now 20, some knob in a BMW or Audi overtakes me and then I catch up to him 20 seconds later at the next red light. But they're sticking it to the man by refusing to bow down to the woke agenda so I'm sure it's worth it, really.

I hope you're also measuring it before plucking and recording each year's length on a spreadsheet.

I've got about 30 pigeons in my aviary and each one moults differently. Some are subtle, some go bald headed like a vulture, some go early, some late, some sudden. It seems quite individual.

Agreed. Since COVID some people have real difficulty being asked to give a shit about anyone else. Or even having a polite conversation apparently. No reasoning with that sort so I'm off to walk the dogs instead!

A) all evidence shows 2nd hand smoke has significant health impacts
B) I gave a specific eg of how it affects my health
C) suggesting someone chooses to be miserable re something proven to have neg. effects = gaslighting
D) if u cant discuss w/out playground insults ur not worth talking to
