Having a dog again has made a significant difference to my life.
Some good differences and some not so good.
Of course, overall, the good outweighs the bad, or we wouldn’t bother having a dog.
Just like with kids, I s’pose.
There are the negatives:
- like having to take her out for a walk twice a day, whatever the weather
- or not being able to go out visiting people so much, because we always “have to get back for the dog”
- or being woken in the early hours because she’s growling at someone who had the temerity to just walk past the house
- or every coat that I own having all the pockets permanently stuffed with poo bags
But there are also positives:
- like taking her out for a walk twice a day – if it wasn’t for that, I’d probably just be lounging on the sofa watching telly
- or not being able to visit people – sometimes that can be a blessing
- or being woken up because she’s growling – let’s face it, twice she has been proven right
- or every coat that I own… actually, I haven’t found a positive for that one yet.

A full poo bag makes a good hand warmer in this weather.

Oh, I’m so very jealous. Of all of these things. Event the poo bags. I have been promised a dog when we are on the boat.

At least you won’t have to walk him for his morning ablutions – just let him out on the poop deck.

There will be absolutely no pooping on our decks!
