Also it seems a good excuse to post a pic of my friend's new kitten:

You're right he is OLD nearly 13, but old is not in the name, He is an English Bull Terrier, you're maybe getting mixed up with "Old English Sheepdog"lewist.
I have never had a dog but then when I see Alan C's Old English Bull Terrier I get a rush of nostalgia for Jock, of the same breed, whom I knew well when I was a child. He had the strength of an ox and was really stubborn but otherwise he was the gentlest soul imaginable.
I've had dogs all my life, always rescue doge, so mostly mongrels.He had the strength of an ox and was really stubborn but otherwise he was the gentlest soul imaginable.
He's a Maine Coon kitten and it seems to be the culture to register pedigree cats with a ridiculous name but to call them a different but equally ridiculous name. So you'll find cats registered with names like Lord Garibaldi Pancake and called Harry for short.Noggin wrote:You called an animal Pythagoras?
