Peugeot 2008. The new chapter

[Huskyxantia]

I could name maybe 2 family's near me that breed for the fun of it , which to me is cruel .

Are they breeding themselves? That’s supposed to be fun! I don’t know what makes you think it’s cruel.

Hope not lol. Oh no dont ... no ...

Getting back on track
Bit of a nice surprise the other day getting 4 new tyres put on the 2008!
​Turns out it uses an indirect TPMS system tied directly into the ABS setup rather than individual sensors inside the wheel rims. The fitter spotted it straight away and refunded me almost £39 for the unused sensor kit/service. Always a win when you deal with an honest garage!

Im not a massive dog person , but saying that I dont dislike them either

Yep, that's me. I'm quite ambivalent about them; some I love to bits and many others I detest - usually the little yappy ones with attitude.

That said, I'm a bit of a dog-magnet - most dogs seem to love me, even ones I can't find a lot of affection for.

I'd never own a dog as I could not give any dog the life and home it requires. I know that and the same goes for cats. It would be cruel to subject any dog or cat to my way of living.

In fact, I won't have any pet at all. In trust I don't need to as I get a lot of pleasure from meeting up with many dogs (and their owners) I've got to know very well during my morning runs around the town and across the common.

And fully agreed Husky about the breeding of them for the fun of it..

There are a few people whom ive seen dump cats in people's gardens because they know you have (we)animals, the wifes ex husband Bill hooks for brains several years ago throw a blind cat out of his ford caffins work van one night about 11.45 pm the shot off as quick as he could , he was captured in my cctv , we took the cat to our vet and had to have the poor thing put down as it was in a right mess , I gave the cctv footage to the vet the vet followed this up he got caught, ban from keeping any animals then 3 years later he's dumping kittens at his daughters place 6 of them riddled with fleas , 2 had cat flu , she went absolutely nuts and told me she herself reported him to the rspca and had to sort all these kittens out 2 died , she kept one the rest were lucky and got re homed , the bloke is a total ass hole, and has now done a runner up the east coast side which I won't disclose ...

Gentlest dog you could imagine. Loves everybody plus our horses, cat & chooks

I’d test her out. Only two dogs in my life have ever liked me. The rest have snarled or bitten me.

Quote "Dogs can sense how you feel about them. They use their keen senses of smell, hearing, and sight to read your emotional state and attitude toward them" so that usually says more about the owner than the dog.
We once had a normally very placid bichon frisé who growled ferociously when a certain local farmer visited us.
Turned out he was the cruelest bastard imaginable who, I found out later, treated his animals appallingly with permanently caged dogs, goats with laminitis. walking on their knees & horns growing into their skulls for a small example.
He would rather see them suffer than pay for vets treatment.

Woo that was bad . How do people get so cruel , and yes its very true dogs will pick up on how you are around them too.

Again we've hit over 40 . I'm enjoying this weather even though my joints are not , very odd and weird how this heat is effecting my bones.

Sorry it's not good for your bones and joints Husky; personally, I'm absolutely loving this heat and utterly thrive in it. I'll miss it terribly when the normal British weather returns and I fear I may stop thriving I really was born in the wrong country; I don't belong here...

Yep, absolutely - I guess it says a lot about me then. My dad, a postman all his working life, was hated by all dogs, even my ex's springer who was normally a dog full of fun, friendliness, bonkersness and doggy affection. She used to go absolutely ballistic at the very sight of my dad - the only person she ever did. Maybe she knew he was a postman?

Husky: terrible tales of cruelty; proper upset me to read that...

And that's good economy; the ace up the sleeve of the DV6 engine. It's a real peach

Other than the last part of the last sentence, I’ve heard what you said many times before. I’m not trying to patronise you, so I’m sorry if it sounds like I am.

But I remember walking along a road in the suburbs with a group of about 10 people. I was at the back of the group to make sure that no one was left behind. (There were only two of us who knew where our final destination was.)

Everyone walked past a particular backyard fence and there was no noise coming from behind the fence. When I got there, there was suddenly a loud explosion of barking. My now ex knew how dogs reacted to me, so when she heard the barking, she turned to see if I had reached the fence. I had. She thought it was funny that from behind the fence, the dog had been able to identify me as a person who doesn’t like dogs.

I didn’t think it was funny. I was terrified, even though the dog was behind the fence and had no chance of getting at me.
