Kay 3,709 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Prehaps a bunny or 2 on the lamp might cheer him up Kay? If you dont want to lamp yourself, taking him out with someone else might be a better idea? Good luck with him, i hope he comes round. Frank.

mattydski 560 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Tell him a joke Kay:- see if that gets a laugh.. Three race horses were bragging about their race averages. "I won 5 out of 20 races," said the first horse. "Oh yea! I won 15 out of my 30," said the second. "Hah! I won 50 out of 60," said the third. Hiding behind a hay bail, a greyhound was listening in on the conversation. He steps into view and says. "Well I won 99 out of 100 of my races." The third horse looks at the second horse and says "WOW!!.... A talking dog!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AL BUNDY 45 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 reading the posts it looks like hes fit enough for a run so if your looking for a safe place to run him take him to the track you could run him solo if you wanted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
