Now that we have retired I am really thinking about a little cat or dog. OH dead against it. He says we do tend to go away for the odd weekend and sometimes we have been known to stay a week. I suppose I agree with him. Could always get somebody to feed a cat though couldn't we.
My big fear is that they bring you ' presents'. I would die if my cat brought a mouse in.
They must be comforting to come home to. For a long time I thought of a Bichon Frise. Quite expensive so I have been told, but oh, aren't they cute.
