Boggins deserves a quiet retirement in a rural setting somewhere. Perhaps he could go and stay with The Archers?

Well I'm a cat person, I am also a vegetarian so the termination of even an imaginary animal seems a bit 'AA Gill' to me, although that's nonsense, should we charge Stephen King for animal cruelty for Cujo? What a fascinating ontological discourse has been opened up by the foul smelling Boggins. Being contrary, even though he is a bit annoying to me, that he really really annoys so many other people I say keep him as a lesson in tolerance, but with the suggestion they adopt a cat to balance the show with sly feline witticisms (which I know is an even worse idea, oh Boggins what have you done?!? No here on the carpet what have you done?).

I wouldnt mind Boggins if Adam wouldn't slurp so loudy into the mike.
It sounds revolting when you listen with earphones. I just dont want slurpy drooly kissy nauseating sounds violating my poor ear-holes.

Terminate it with extreme prejudice.

Point of order, James....I think the top song is by the Barefoot Busker, Tom Taylor.......sorry to complain. Please don't let Adam see this.
I'm not dissing anyone because I know how busy you all are and how hard you work and stuff..... but poor Tom....

Boggins is lovely! He's friendly, entertaining and he can sort of talk. I haven't actually met him though, perhaps the smell would change my mind.
Also I've been wondering. Does Boggins not like Adam? He always seems to show up when Adam is out of the room...

Like Janineshroff said, it's a headphones problem. Listening to Boggins on headphones makes me feel physically sick. I'm not exaggerating for comic effect, when Boggins comes on I have to hold the headphones away from my ears to stop myself from gagging. Not funny enough to be worth it. The only thing I don't enjoy in your show. Please get rid.

Here in the USA we have a saying: "take them out back and shoot them." Given the lack of guns in the hands of law abiding citizens, I'd recommend you take Boggins to a "farm in the country where he can play with other doggies all day long." Either way, I don't want to hear that mongrels voice again, otherwise there's no way I'm flying you to tropical Minneapolis, Minnesota to record your show.

How about a compromise? Why don't you send Boggins to a nice farm, somewhere far (far, far, far) away? That way, we'd never have to hear from him again and he wouldn't have to die. Win/win?

SAVE BOGGINS! I can't believe the amount of people who want him killed?! Here's me thinking us A&J listeners were good-hearted, generous, creative people...
Why not give Boggins and bath and invite the Cesar Millan round instead? That way we're all happy :)

I HATE Boggins, however. The disgusting mongrel should be given a last chance to repent from his wicked ways. What I propose is that a fresh poo will be tactically positioned over a concealed trapdoor, if Boggins has changed his ways then he will not roll in said poo, and he can walk away having proven himself worthy of life. However, if the little disgusting, patchy haired, piece of willy hair decides that he will roll in the tactical poo (tactipoo) than he will plummet into the earths core. I realise that drilling through to the earths core will be an expensive operation so a pit of spikes/thumbtacks will suffice. love you byeee!

Please, please keep Boggins alive and licking. I am a 5 year old Boarder Collie from Plymouth and Boggins is my hero. I always curl up with my owner when she is listening to your podcast and I only pay attention when I can hear Boggins at the mike.
PS getting rid of boggins may give my owners ideas when I too get old and smelly.
Lots of licks and sniffs

NOOOOOO!!!!!! Don't kill Boggins - what are you thinking? He reminds me so much of Terry Pratchett's genius invention Gaspode the Wonder Dog, and he's so sweet. But he does stink. Keep Boggins and add a new animal character, a silent cat (would it work on the radio? I think it would) a completely arrogant and haughty cat that looks down on everyone and everything only deigning to acknowledge the existence of Adam and Joe when it wants fed, the anti-Boggins. Hoorah.
Bit also, don't kill Boggins.

Personally, I love Boggins. He shouldn't be killed.

Hey, I don't listen on headphones, but nonetheless I am repulsed by Boggins' slurps and licks in the mic. And apart from that, he adds a bit too much of a naff-tastic "Steve Wright In The Afternoon" element to the show, which is somewhat out of place in the high-brow, professional (ahem) example of radio broadcasting we all come to expect from A&J.
I like the "tactipoo" concept suggested by Mike Robertson. But here's my idea: To keep the "Save Boggins" posse happy, how about just sending him off into the world and appointing him as your canine roving reporter(Rover!)?
He could send in weekly email or text reports (please, NOT audio ones!) from wherever he is, giving us all his unique dogged perspective on the world. He could even have his own blog! I'm sure the majority of listeners would be more than happy to help him by taking pictures of him when he comes to visit them and helping him with typing his email reports etc. I'm sure he'll have some wonderful adventures and make lots of new friends - much more fun than being stuck indoors all day at the BBC.

Boggins must stay. He is just like the new dog we have adopted when he says 'I love you'; in fact we are working on renaming the new addition Boggins... so now it's real. My older dog also has anal gland problems. Of course, this isn't nice, but the old AGs have provided much comedy value over the years. Indeed, that stinky bottom has achieved a real kind of fame over the years. Fame that other mutts could only dream to sniff at.
I vote for Boggins to stay.

I have a solution that will keep everyone happy. All we need to do is to cryogenically freeze Boggins and put him on a space ship then fire him into space. Once there he can travel the galaxy and possibly be discovered by an alien civilisation or perhaps humanity sometime in the next millennia. He can then bring untold joy, and poo, to a fresh set of people/beings. This way we are all happy, Boggins stays alive and we don't have to waste any imaginary ammunition on him.
Failing that just send him to Radio 2.

Boggins might smell and need a lot of cleaning, but he can say much more than that Walls dog. Poor old Boggins, he has too much love to give.

"I wouldnt mind Boggins if Adam wouldn't slurp so loudy into the mike"
Huh? Whats Adams mic technique got to do with Boggins? Adam isn't even there when Boggins comes in. I think Adam might be psychic with a side order of hatred of dogs, so he always knows when to leave.

Here's the thing. I grew up with a dog. I have a dog now and cannot imagine life without a little four-legged friend by my side. I love dogs, you get me?
However, when Boggins appears in my headphones it makes me want to remove my own brain, stamp on it and then rinse it in bleach. Boggins is a horrible, stinky mess who makes me physically ill. Please get rid of him.
Thanks. Loveyoubye.
Kate.

No dogs have to die at the castle, just send Ol' Boggins to a lovely 'farm'.
Thats all, just a nice little trip to a cheery 'farm' for Boggins.
He'd like that instead of being cooped up at Radio 6.
Headphone people, cat people and the imaginarium-of-dog-boggins people would at last all be happy.

Never did I think I would feel so sad in reading comments about getting rid of/putting down Boggins the dog. He just wants to give love people. Simple loving love. Thats all. Poor Boggins :'(

I think that you should send Boggins to a lovely retirement home for dogs, buuut if the BBC's budget will not stretch that far then you should KILL HIM!! You could throw a stick/dog biscuit/poo into a forestry wood chipper and he would climb in afterwards and be chipped. The mess may smell from his anal gland being minced but if you chip some pine at the same time it should cancel it out. I hope he is not bothering you too much.

Another great podcast guys, I particuarly empathised with Adam's dilema over the singing of hymns. On our wedding day my wife and I chose a hymn each for everyone to sing, she went for Shine Jesus Shine, I'd chosen the infinitely more hip Lord of the dance which naturally had the church a rocking.
As we came to her choice I knew I was in trouble, knelt at the front of the church with no idea how to sing the hymn with a video camera and they eyes of the priest pointing at me I felt obliged to make it look like I was singing, especially after my hearty rendition of Lord of the Dance so I did what you have to do in these situations, mimed.
Boggins is too loveable to be put down, if you just give him an imaginary bath so he is all nice and clean he'll be loveable and smell great. Save Boggins
love you byyyeee

On any other show Boggins would be a highlight. It's only because the rest of the Adam and Joe show is so wonderful that Boggins fails to meet my expectations. The dog's got to go.

The potential execution of Boggins threatens to cause civil war between the various slack and black squadrons. There is only one thing for it: a live, on-air trial and sentencing of Boggins.
Boggins may, of course, attempt to speak on his own behalf, but it may harm his defence (rrargh, I've done a poo and rolled over it, rrargh...)
If only the Goblin King could adjudicate...

Ahhh - the Goblin King.... perhaps Boggins's problems all started in The Bog of Eternal Stench.

Dear Charming Sorts What Listen to Adam & Joe
Here is a pronouncement from On High (by which I mean, a crap new-town in Berkshire). The reason people do not like Boggins is because he is forces them to face up to the fact that ALL DOGS SMELLY REALLY BAD. This is why dog owners cannot stand him and some have had to remove their headphones when he is doing his licking (ohboohoo etc). All we listeners need to do is to get OUR TINY MINDS around the fact that ALL DOGS STINK IT UP SOMETHING DREADFUL and Boggins is no exception.
In conclusion, I want him to stay, because he is a useful weekly reminder of why I am a cat person. CATS DO NOT ROLL IN POO AND ARE THE BEST.
The End.

Hello everyone, the lovely people at the Adam & Joe show missed off my name credit, as I am indeed, the creator of 'Ode to Boggins'.
Am I hurt? Yes.
Am I upset? Horrifically.
Let me take this opportunity to proudly say, that I, Matt Friend created with slobbery love, the Boggins montage.

At the risk of breaking the fourth wall - it's Adam Buxton. Doing a silly hyperventilating dog noise. While talking about eating poo.
When I'm driving along listening to the podcast on my super posh car stereo it sounds like I'm inside Adam's mouth.
All you people who don't want "him" to be "put down" can just do the stupid voice themselves in their own homes where the rest of us don't have to listen to it.
Harrumph.

Right. Lets bring the Boggins debate to an end. The smelly dog happens to be one of the greatest comic creations ever. He's up there with Chaplin's tramp. So many emotions are brought to the fore in just a few seconds of slobbering(love, pity, joy, revultion). Boggins should bring these out in you and make you feel alive, if he doesn't then you're plainly dead inside.
In conclusion, save Adam's voice when he does Boggins.

How about little "Flash-Animation" on the A&J website, where Boggins can be taken to one place - or another. (Like an online-game)
To the left is a place where Boggins can create his artwork (rub abstract & smelly patterns into the carpet.) and hump anything in sight.
To the right where his life will invariable come to an end, in an entertaining & surprising way.
(Naturally, I would take him to make art, then I would be saddened, surprised and shocked to hear that every single participant has killed poor old Boggins at least twice!)
