A tough decision.

Chris · 31 Jan 2007, 08:23

It's decision time and the question is:

Should I get a dog or a child?

Rockette · 31 Jan 2007, 09:57

Is there, perchance, a third option?

I'd get a dog .. then you can spend the change on a new sofa ...

LucyK! · 31 Jan 2007, 12:51

Not the kids

Pray tell, Chris, is there a way of 'getting' a child that we women don't know about that doesn't involve 9 months of peeing, backache and craving ice-cream and celery on toast?!!?

Get a parrot. They are easier to care for than a dog, cat or certainly a child. Cheaper, too, almost no vet bills.

On the downside, they can argue with you just like a kid. And they can bite harder.

I've never seen a dog do that, I've seen what they can do to Piano legs, and as for children, we never did that as children

I'm for the third way as well! Great pics though, made me laugh.

Having three nephews (live in Maidstone, luckily!), it's a dog for me anytime, not as noisy
At least the dog only scratched up the sofa, but the kids and the TV!!!!!

Oh my dear lord...did you EVER actually had a parrot? And I mean...REAL parrot...not some small parakeet or something...

I did...

More work than ANY pet I've ever had...argh...

THAT didn't last AT ALL...
