I won't be going because I just can't bear the thought of being away from Molly, my Springer; I could do it at a push, without much enjoyment, but it would cause her a lot of distress. I've made a bit of a rod for my own back without being aware of it, as she's five now and we're just never apart for more than twenty minutes at a time for shop, dentist bank etc.
I value the close bond that we have above all things and wouldn't want it any other way, but , as in all things, there's sometimes a high price to be paid - I'd love to put a few faces to names of people I've met on the forum, who knows what the future may bring, eh?.......................atb mac
