I have thought for a while now that an elephant would make a great addition to The Green Mans household. One just like this one, so cute. Just image taking it for a walk down the street, it would put those crappy great danes and rottweillers to shame. It could also do lots of useful things around the house. Hmmmm can't think of any right now but I am sure there must be lots.

I know what your thinking. How impractical, it will grow up into a big animal, all that maintenance and leaving it shut up in the back yard all day while you go to work. That's not good.

Perhaps you could apply the same logic to that puppy you are thinking of surprising someone with this Christmas. I know they probably said they want one but it may be just as impractical for them as the elephant is for me.

If you must give a puppy/dog as a present don't make it a surprise.

Here are the rules.

1. Take the person who it is for along and let them help choose.
2. Choose a small dog, noone needs a big vicious dog.
3. Get one from the RSPCA or your local dogs home.
4. Be prepared for the time and cost of owning one.

Let's try and make it a good Christmas for the dog as well as the person.
