h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Today I went with my girlfriend to
Cardonald Dog and Cat Home to see if she could rescue an animal.
This was mainly due to her previous dog(of 10 years) sadly dying 6 weeks ago and the fact that she was advised by everyone that she should have another dog to fill the void in her life.
After a great deal of choosing she made a decision to take home a beautiful,young(roughly 2 years old) Border Collie who we have now named "Megan".
Surprisingly "Megan" has settled in very quickly and seems to have the most wonderful nature.
She also has manic obsession for ball's.I've come to think this must be a trait Collies have as i have made enquiries to other owners and they tell the same story.
She also has written on her documentation, that she was a stray and had been in the home for over 3 weeks.
I'm very much surprised that the former owner of the dog did not try to retrieve her as shes ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
This just made me wonder why people get dogs in the first place.
I'm very proud of my wee woman who could have quite easily got a pup for free.. but decided to save a life instead.
And im so glad she did.
It also states on "Megans
" paperwork that she has "Wall Eyes".
I'd love to find out where this expression originates from.If anyone out there knows please let me know.

Hello Get-a-Grip I used to have a dog and he came from Battersea Dog home and I really miss him. He was with us for 16 years and there is not a time when I do not think of him. He had to be put down as he was very ill. He was a wonderful dog and I loved to play with him.

Hi kat,
I bet he was wonderful.
I dont think "meg" will ever replace the dog she lost as it was just perfect.I bet you feel the same about the dog you kept.Irreplaceable!
We get so attached to them..dont we?
Get a Grip.

Get-a-Grip I used to talk to Jock, I would say wink at me if you think I am a dog and he would wink. He would wink at me if I winked at him. He would lie on my knees and I he was very partial to kippers. Yes they are irrapplaceable.
