Over here, it can depend on the context. "Doing nn years" is more common than just "doing nn", but both would be understood in the right context. Of course, an eavesdropper from a country that had corporal punishment for criminals might get the wrong idea if they heard one person saying that another got 6 for armed robbery.

Yes, it has been a little worrisome here since I took in the stray puppy that was abandoned. However, someone I know is going to take him home with her on Tuesday, so no one will be able to bust my chops over him. He'll be in a nice new home with someone who will love him.

Oh that's good that he's found a nice home. Hope your two girl pups don't miss him too much!
