    Best Xmas Pressie Ev0r!11!1!ev0r1

    Seriously. Just had my Xmas made.

    My Dobey, Sarge, died the other week, so we decided to put our number around the rescue centers and that, see if we could get anothr one.

    Jut had a call from some lovely people in Yorkshire (Eee chap, there's nowt like Yorkshire folk, ecky thump, etc) they have a 10 month old, black and tan pup, KC registered, microchiped, all jabs up to date, full of vim and vigour, and its gonna be our new dog.

    Getting him this Saturday, just in time for him to spend his first Xmas with us. I'm well chuffed.

    Pisses all over Mass Effect and some Lynx for a pressie I tell you.

    Merry Christmas one and all, and Tiny Tim!

    Aww sweets, I'm made up for you.

    Sarge was a right character, but i'm sure he'll be well looked after by Zeus up in doggie heaven.

    Sorry to hear about Sarge Stewart.

    Here's hoping for snow on Christmas Morning so you and your new pup can go out and make snow angels together.

    Re: Best Xmas Pressie Ev0r!11!1!ev0r1

    So now you've chipped your dog, have you got any overclocking results from it? The chassis has a great intake and exhaust setup, with occassional water cooling, so should get rid of heat very quickly.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Thankyou for going to a rescue centre , so many dogs need new homes , its nice to know you didnt hand over a load of cash to a breeder.

    Thanks all. The house seemed empty without Sarge bounding around, so be nice to get back to normal for Chrimbo.

    Credit to Tigs for suggesting a rescue. We would normally buy from a breeder... Sarge was £600+, so nice to get a rescue and save a bit of cash.

    Marshal is a good name.

    My uncle used to have a brown and tan Dobie called Chief which I thought was a fab name!
