At least my little hens give me a lot back as do the ponies.<br />I can't wait to see the article, they say it could be a while but so pleased it was accepted as this one meant a lot to me.Diane Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659265615593465267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260842129915604554.post-62038544895537084732010-05-18T05:07:36.515-07:002010-05-18T05:07:36.515-07:00I toy with the idea of getting another dog but dar...I toy with the idea of getting another dog but daren't mention it to Cliff. His idea of a pooch is something the size of a Great Dane; better still, a pair of them. Given that I was the main dog walker for the last two dogs we had, I'm keeping schtum!<br /><br />I look forward to reading about man's best friend Di. Well done again. I recently bought a Shropshire mag from the charity shop and found myself reading your article about Ludlow.

I understand the atmosphere of Padstow and I know you and your love of animals. This article, written from the heart, obviously proved itself to the editor.

I'm sure it's go...That's brilliant Di!<br /><br />I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful article as it comes from the heart. Dogs are so special. I remember all the dogs I've had through the years and I remember the devestation I felt when our dog, Gemma, we'd had since childhood died when I was down in Plymouth doing my nurse training. My then boyfriend had been back up in Shropshire visiting his family and had gone to see my mum who made him promise to break it to me gently as she couldn't bear to. It was awful news and I still well up now when I think of Gemma and that time.<br /><br />I haven't had a dog for many years now - well we had one for about five months a couple of years ago, but it took exception to Dave and bit him - he's not a dog person and had only agreed to let me have one because he knew I loved them so much. Plus I had been unwell at the time and plans were being made for me to go in for major surgery so with all the stress I had and the dog biting Dave the dog had to go back to Roden. It broke my heart, still does and I'll never forgive myself for the dog having to go back. I didn't need the surgery in the end and I don't have the kind of lifestyle now to be able to care for a dog properly so we have cats instead. I love them to bits but it's not the same as having a dog. Still I have my sister's dog, Jazz, for cuddles when I visit her house - he's my surrogate doggy!<br /><br />I can't wait to read your article - let me know when it's in.<br /><br />Julie xxJulie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546678603569056691noreply@blogger.com
