prudes the lot of ye.. i got into the swinging scene at 17 and there are all sorts of age groups at partys from 18-50s... ive pretty much outgrown it as got into bdsm which was more my scene
www.fabswingers.com is a good forum and chatroom with free webcams for the curious (18+ goes without saying)
i hate ferrets in your face when you open the door of a hutch so figure a walk in ferret court will be more user friendly for both myself and the stinkers
i want something similar to this aviary (but a lot cheaper) to put inside one of my sheds... obviously will adapt the aviary to be a bit more ferret friendly

i know that if a dog is born with a kink in the tail it could be that the spine is fused and its a genetic fault, seen it in a certain bloodline of pedigree dogs and the vet said the dog should never jump and would be lucky to reach 2yrs old.. im not saying that this is the same thing but...
A bloke who lives near me on a small holdings got one of those Dutch herders......his yard is not to be ventured on!
nobody comes around my house uninvited any more... wonder why!
something that i can use to fill the pot and is versatile, highly trainable and a good family dog... i already have 2 pets (lurcher & elderly parson) and 1 working dutch herder and the crosses i will be seeking out in 2017 onwards are dutch x grey or gwp x grey both have interesting qualities and are versatile breeds
last time i was in a vets a very fat yellow lab attempted to attack my muzzled working shepherd.. the owner of the lab had absolutely no idea how to control it. fortunately for him i had my boy under control
