Cerrertonia Oct 2022 12:08pm, 17 Oct 2022 17,761 posts	0 Cerrertonia The explosion of dog walking businesses. Is it just me or do people miss the point of owning a dog is to take responsibility of its exercise too? I’ve owned 5 dogs in my life time so far and part of the enjoyment of having a dog is the walking or running with them. I just think it’s damn lazy. Ok, if you are not physically able to walk because of some health condition I can partly understand but don’t get a dog if you can’t look after it properly in the first place! A friend of mine has one of these businesses and she says there are three main types of customer - people who are too elderly or ill to continue walking their dog as much as they used to, people who commute and/or work long hours wanting their dog to have daytime walks, and people who go on holiday or travel for work. A dog can live 15-20 years and people's circumstances can change over that time.

Groundhog Oct 2022 10:59pm, 20 Oct 2022 4,868 posts	0 Groundhog [my theory on ease of peeling hard boiled eggs - if the membrane between the shell and white is intact and dry inside, they are hard to peel. If you take a piece of shell off, tear the membrane and wet it a little, the shell comes of easily.]
RunningRonnie Oct 2022 9:45am, 21 Oct 2022 2,386 posts	0 RunningRonnie Why you get pointless "options" on white goods. Such as my tumble dry has a no creese option. When would I ever choose not to press that? Maybe I feel like a challenge when doing ironing?
