Hi Dragon!

Welcome to CC  I think it's great your husband is on here along with you! My husband is too.. for us it's better to do things together and that helps you stay motivated. What kind of dog do you think you might get? The mini poms are way cute! Hope you have a wonderful day, and again - Welcome!

Thanks caudillbug!

We are hoping to give a rescue dog a new home so provided it is about the size of a West Highland or a Jack Russell we will be happy.  Mark is looking forward to long walks morning and evening and I am looking forward to a short walk at a lunchtime (I can only walk about 200 yards before I have to stop due to pain!)

Welcome!!! I'm so glad that you are here!!!

You'll find plenty of great people to chat with, support you and to help support!

Good luck to you!!! And your husband too!!!

Hi Dragon,

I'm from Oxfordshire - not so far away.  It's great that you have the support of your hubby.

My boyfriend's sister has just got a West Highland Terrier.  She picks him up tomorrow. We live next door to each other so I think we will be seeing alot of him.  Not sure that my cat will like it much though.  He is 14 months old and his previous owner died and his wife couldn't bear to look after him anymore - sad.   

I hope you don't mind but I've added you as a friend.

Welcome and Good luck.

Thanks folks

I used to know Oxfordshire well (well at least Oxford!), I went there for Uni - hubby went to Cambridge (shall we say I enjoyed the boat race this year and he didn't LOL)

No problem with adding me as a friend (having more people than OH checking up on me will be good LOL) - hmm got to try and shift a reasonable amount before a week on Saturday - we are going out for our mutual birthday meals (okay early March for me and early April for him!) and we are going for a Chinese meal - wish us luck
