Have a great time.
We are off on a well needed mini break in the morning. 2 days and 1 night away. Dinner, bed and breakfast at the Royal in Kirkby Lonsdale (cumberland/Westmoreland/Lancashire border) It is a gorgeous little market town with hundreds of independent shops, cafes and so on, plus a weekly market on Thursdays. For some reason our booking was upgraded to a superior double including a 4 poster bed. It overlooks the market square so we will have a lovely view from our bedroom window. We are going to spend Thursday looking round there with a great river walk thrown in, and tomorrow we are heading to Heysham Head, Morecambe and Hest Bank. All places we love. Morecambe is horrid in the town, but the sea front and pedestrian promenade are glorious. We really need this.
Coincidently, my youngest XL son has finally convinced me that I am well enough and he and his XL brother are willing enough for us to adopt a dog. I have dithered on this for a good while, worried that I could not look after a pet or that when they (finally) leave home I would break my heart to see a pet leave with them.
Just one hurdle left, what breed to choose. Though I personally like mongrels cos they seem to be more robust than some of the thoroughbreds. My first choice would be a shepherd, youngest would like a husky (much too vocal!) and middle XL son 'says' he wants a dachshund !!
I'm going to get another dog. Facebook is dangerous if you shouldn't get more pets than you already have. She'll be here for a trial period first, as she needs a place to stay as of next saturday. I won't keep her if we do not fall in love. Her name is Naimah (definitely not my choice), she's 3 years old and I am so in trouble with my friends when they find out...
That's wonderful! A dog is the best!
I'd look for one you fall in love with! If you have some mobility problems a smaller breed might be more practical. They won't pull as hard on the leash. I have 3, all of unknown breeds and all of them perfect! Have you and your sons thought about adopting a grown dog?
I'm idiotically nervous. I haven't even met her yet, but the stories are very good. Only 4 more nights before I meet her! And it's almost my birthday too (6th of march) and who doesn't want a dog for their birthday gift!Hello, Naimah!

Well, a Dachshund might be easier to walk than a Husky but a Husky might not get underfoot so easily. A German Shepherd? Lovely if they have a level back.
Which would be easiest to housebreak?
Oh! I would not have a puppy. It has to be a least a year old preferably older. I had considered a rescue Greyhound but it is a breed I've never had before.
You've had a busy few months and deserve a break. Have a great time and I'd love to see you pictured with Eric.
Goodnight all
Beige is good. It's roughly the samy color as peeNo house training! Some of my carpets are beige!
Or you could get a really big dog and go out in a lightweight wheelchair pulled by your dog!first be relaxed with my electric wheelchair so ideally a dog already lead trained would be a bonus.

Why not visit a shelter and meet some dogs. Who knows what funny dog'll steal your heart!
