Hi Im Lynda
Always had dogs in my family from Fox Terriers to Poodles to Great Danes to Airedales to Westies - spanning several generations! I 'lost' my two Westies of 12 and 13 years approx 5/6 years ago. I miss the company of a loyal 4-legged friend dearly but needs must, so work full-time at the moment, recognising how unfair it can be to leave pets alone for too long. Im counting the days to retirement (my original plans having been scuppered by about 5 years) so I can adopt two more friends. In the meatime I help out, at weekends, with dog walking at a local rescue centre in Leics, whilst exploring various 'plans' whereby I can adopt sooner.
I think the best solution would be to adopt an 'Oldie' and would welcome any advice/suggestions from anyone who has faced a similar predicament and found a solution. In the meantime I would like to offer any voluntary assistance where I am able with any animals in need.
