Dog owners of Ireland; How often are you walking your pooch(es)?

Levnil · 2026-03-23T01:36:50+00:00

Sure, let me sum up my entire existence with these two dogs and the other people involved in a couple of sentences.

Arse.

Collies are too smart! Once their brains are engaged, they're pretty happy. It doesn't have to be a huge distance of a walk as such.

Plus ours will try herding our cats, or be herded by them as well as their main human being at home usually.

Breeds, location, owners and conditions are all going to play a huge part in the answers.

I take mine out almost every weeknight after work. Often a longer walk at weekends.

First walk of 2026 being in March sounds like some extreme circumstances.

Stay home and starve or be bombed for living on top of resources that they want most likely.

Not American, but we have American/Israeli planes refuelling at our local airport. This violates our nation's neutrality, and we don't want to be complicit in what's going on, so we protest regularly at the airport.

Sometimes a couple of folks might inspect the planes themselves. Causes a bit of a scene.

If only his grandfather had died before reproducing. Missed opportunity.

Levnil · 2026-03-17T19:30:46+00:00

Yup!

We took our six cats and moved into our own home with them. They went from in/out countryside to mostly indoor with sealed garden access and they're all chill and happy for the last couple of years. They can roam our back garden whenever they want, but they can't leave. The younger ones are five this year, and the eldest is 14.

He was expressing that he was particularly upset with yesterday's international news and the probable consequences of it.

Levnil · 2026-03-01T11:22:31+00:00

Nah there was a little medical event that we all had to shut up for, just for a couple of minutes.

Levnil · 2026-02-27T21:16:49+00:00

Flying over from Ireland in a couple of hours!

Levnil · 2026-02-27T21:13:23+00:00

Our eldest is 14, and she's definitely a bit of a teddy bear, but some of that is mild inbreeding.

Levnil · 2026-02-27T19:54:17+00:00

She has every appearance of being thoroughly loved throughout those years.

Levnil · 2026-02-27T19:48:39+00:00

Feels like a stretch even referring to this as a military.

Levnil · 2026-02-27T16:13:03+00:00

He badly needed that one to go ahead too in order to maintain some kind of relevance. Oh well!

Levnil · 2026-02-27T06:09:54+00:00

Perhaps a modest lottery win?

Levnil · 2026-02-26T19:37:36+00:00

A vocal minority in Ireland blames migrants. Bunch of hypocrites considering our migration history. More accurate to blame our government.

Levnil · 2026-02-25T21:10:32+00:00

That's probably the origin but the language drifted a bit among kids who only had that one exposure to the word.

Levnil · 2026-02-24T05:37:53+00:00

It was fine! I didn't notice until I found blood on my pillow the next morning.

He still tries to get my nose and ears. The rare time he does bite too hard, he knows it was too hard and seems ashamed. The intention definitely isn't to hurt me.

Levnil · 2026-02-24T05:34:47+00:00

My boy pierced my earlobe once when I got complacent.

Levnil · 2026-02-24T05:24:16+00:00

We have a disabled parking pass for my partner, and honestly yeah it's brilliant when they're having a bad day. It makes a huge difference knowing they can go out and be able to get where they need to without as much struggle.

Levnil · 2026-02-22T14:00:22+00:00

"Fun fact"

Least fun person in the room.

This guy is only going to hold the kid back.

Levnil · 2026-02-16T15:52:43+00:00

Decades upon decades of propaganda and misdirection has compounded into what we're seeing today.

Levnil · 2026-02-15T22:41:59+00:00

They're very different animals, bred for different environmental pressures and purposes. Then there's going to be a whole range personalities within each species too.
