So... What oiled your gears today?

The forthcoming ban on XL bullys.

A straw poll of the 14 vets in my practice shows 100% of them think this is a good idea. With the caveat that there is still plenty of scope for the government to fuck it up in the execution.

My brother banned them from his practice over a year ago anyway..

Apparently over 50% cnb trace their Lineage to a dog named 'Killer kimbo' and are heavily interbred to enhance their traits whic, unfortunately, includes aggression.

I don't have a problem with the ban as part of the solution, but if they don't go after the bad breeders, they will just create a different problem.

Also, we have to see how they classify the "XL Bully" as there are many bully types out there. I have a Victorian Bulldog that has no blood relation to any of the dog breeds that have been banned or make up the XL bully, but she is classified as a bully breed none the less. Even if she is not included in the ban, I know for sure I will have to deal with Karen's from time to time.

Perhaps they should just ban Karens

Back in the day the Dangerous Dogs Act was used in law school as the textbook example of legislation gone badly wrong (many more examples since, of course!).

The issue: good luck defining "XL Bully" (or any breed) such that average PC Plod can reliably figure it out on da street.

These dog issues that we are having does make an argument for all dogs to be registered and a reintroduction of a " Dog Licence" for a dogs. Insurance, proof of ownership etc.

My little Jack Russell is as soft as soft can be when it's just me and him, when other people are around he turns into a Russell Brand and tries humping everyone, around some dogs he shows his teeth, with others he just wants to play. Around rats he is a killer, a natural born killer and very good at it.

My gears are thouroughly oiled today by finding out the existance of this:
https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-13a-1g-to-2g-switched-converter-socket-white/108cc

Meaning that to change that single socket in the spare room over to a double will no longer require me to smash the old pattress out and deal witth brickwork, fitting a new 2g pattress and redecorating the inevitable mess I cause to the paintwork. Now All I have to do is swap the faceplate.

Although the amount of gear oiling this has given me is a bittersweet reminder of my inevitable aging

Does its owner have a good explanation for why its ears look like that?
