I have always had a family pet as far as I can remember, first dog was a labrador cross called Barney, we have also had a border collie which was a rescue dog that came to us, called Suzy, we didn’t really have her that long as she didn’t really have the best start in life, but had happy years with the family, she came to us a quiet timid dog, but she eventually came out of her shell, have had a couple of cats also, the last dog we had was called Willow, a shitzu, she has recently in the last month passed away. She was 14, not had the best year and she got me through it. I don’t feel ready to have another dog just yet. However, i do miss dog walking and looking after her. Hence why I thought i would sign up to here. I still have a cat called Barry that keeps me company though hsha
