Where have all the dogs gone?A couple of years ago, every home in our street had a dog, large or small. Some households had two.There were cats and rabbits too.
I even kept a single hen, who kept the egg rack in the fridge full, for years.
Now, there are only a couple of cats left. At least the birds are back on the bird table. No one now has a dog. Something has certainly happened.
Unlike cats, dogs have to be taken for a walk. I strongly suspect, that to carry a poopscoop to deal with smelly dog dirt is a tad too earthly for today's civilized citizenry.
So have the "Suits" broken the link of eons between man and faithful hound?
But perhaps the real "villein" is Ryanair and Easyjet.
Putting the pooch into kennels now costs as much as a foreign holiday!
So Au revoir Bonzo!
Besides what hotel welcomes pets?
Dogs used to wolf whale meat but not now!
Foot and mouth,Blue tongue, CJD, Avian Flu have killed off the ready supply of cheap protein to the Dog and Cat Food Industry.
The Legislative meddlings of the Official Men in Black, have indeed cut us off from our ancient past.
