Is it me you're looking PAW!

Not blogged for a couple of days... See I told you it's difficult to keep up with it every day! Epic fail 1 of the year.

Now let's  talk about Tweetle Beetles...Not really just being silly - if you have a child you will understand.

We have a "bone" of contention in this house, that unless one party gives in it will always be there with no resolve. I am not the one who will give in by the way!

Now let's just "paws" for a moment and start by saying that this really is not going to be a husband bashing - I completely understand why A has feelings against this issue and if he's reading this I do get it!

Right.... I really and I mean really want a dog! Nothing too big, as those who have been in my house will know it's not really suitable for anything bigger than a small collie!

I have always grown up with pets... My mum, let's just say was obsessed with animals! Horses, dogs, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, fish etc anything that moved apart from spiders... Shudder.

We do have a cat with attitude already and used to have lots of fish tanks - I think we were upto 10 tanks at one point.. Madness.

But I'm yearning for a dog, I trawl the dog rescue sites and for sale pages dreaming of who I can give a home too. Which one will fill my house and complete my family. I'm broody for the hairy kind. I know that we can give one a loving home and that the kids and I will play an active role in looking after him/her.
But and that but is HUGE. A is not interested and is not a dog lover.... Although I think one day he will break!

Over Xmas B received from Santa  "Lucy the dog" an interactive toy. She loves it and was the one thing that was asked for all year. M adores her as well as is always shouting "Lucy, on your head" and other things that you can do with her with a huge giggle of happiness when she complies. It's tres cute!  I would love to give them the real thing knowing how much they would enjoy having one.
But alas for now that is the best it's gonna get in this household for now.

I will just have to keep dreaming of completing my family and hope that one day A will crack... In the meantime I will continue to whatsapp him pictures of what could be!
