KNenagh: Take someone as they are or forget about it. A certain amount of willingness to compromise has to be there, but I don't believe in changing someone and I wouldn't change for someone. If someone would keep spiders I might just never go there. Dogs yes, if it's a "healthy" relationship with one.

Maybe if you're 17, not when you you're old enough to know what you want.
I hope it's not a case of ticking off the things I want...I prefer the idea of being hit by a feeling akin to getting a smack of a car...I'll have no choice..I'll just love her....

Green_Sleeves: On a sidenote, pidgeons are class! I love 'em, my dad was always big into racing pigeons, still keeps a few to give him something to do!
Pigeons are dirty rotten yokes. They should all be killed. Especially those ones with the rings on their feet.

It's nice if it's hits you like that, and great if it works afterwards, but every person has their own personality and things that define them. You can't change character traits, i.e. my ex was a workoholic, I had to either accept that or walk. You can compromise on things like how to spend time etc. but I never would have changed him into anything else. Same other way round with things that were important for me. But things like that usually emerge early on, hopefully before it hits you fully.
Glengirl: I knew a man one time that used to bring his Great Dane into the pub, buy a pint of Harp (this was before Carlsberg and Heineken), pour it into one of those big counter ashtrays and give it to the dog to drink
That was in Donegal....no loss there, he'd get as much sense talking football to the dog as he would from the locals.....
KNenagh: That's for people who have a life, a lot of people having dogs or animals in general might be reclusive and not get out much and animals are their only company. It's great company for older people.
Like dogs myself, have not the lifestyle to have one and have a problem if they're too much "humanised"
That says everything I wanted to say....but i'd be lit on if I said it!
mcattack: Well that's where we differ because i don't think of them when i think of dog lovers...
I don't hang around with my dogs but i do love them, they're funny and you can have a laugh with them, i remember when my Ma was seriously ill and was bed bound for a few months, her lab would only leave the room to go to the toilet and go straight back in and sit by the bed, didnt even want to go for a walk, that's loyalty right there and it's hard not to love them, as i've had dogs all my life i have loads of stories like that...i've also buried 3 dogs out my back garden and cried my eyes out doing it
Its a b%^tard when they die Or whats worse, when you have to make the choice to have them put to sleep
My parents two dogs talk to me, they say 'How RUR RU today?!' (I say it for them in a doggy voice ) then I answer them back, and so the conversation continues
I seen a sparrow hawk catch and kill a pigeon years back, f&8ker wouldnt let go of it even when my dad was making swings at it with a brush, it was determined to hold onto its dinner!!
And the fact that you changed the subject so swiftly shows that you agree with my original statement
You know I don't...the population imbalance is finally starting to swing...the era of total Dublin dominance in all age groups of football is nearly upon us....
Green_Sleeves: Indeed it does, with all our technology and supposed wisdom we're still very much at the mercy of nature! Although, they reckon animals can sense impending catastrophies, always good to have one close by! If you see the chihuahua running for the nearest hill you know theres a big mo' fo' wave a comin'
