we used to have a dog called Rolo
We didn't name her, the people who had her before us named her
apparently they love her enough to give her their last Rolo (slogan from advert for these delicious chocolates!)
However they obviously didn't as they gave her away to us. I used to work for these people and they used to take her into work, the master used to get really annoyed with her and say things like bloody dog, get out of the way!!!
So one day I kind of said in passing, if you don't want her I'll have her and give her a good home. His reply was I'll speak to the missus but I think you will be welcome to her. As you can guess the wife agreed.
Unfortunatly a year after getting her our eldest child came along, the dog was ok with her whilst she was a baby but as soon as she started crawling and walking she was able to pester the dog and the dog got a little peed off with her and one day snapped at our daughter so much to my dismay we had to let Rolo go to another home.
I cried for 2 or 3 days until we got another dog which was ok with kids!
