Hi our beloved cat died on Friday. We have two children of 7&5 and feel this is the right time to choose a dog instead. We may later get a cat but right now I don’t think I can face another but need to fill this dreadful hole in our house.
I’d like a small to medium. I’d like something playful. I’d like something solid and strong. That’s not to say something like a shi tzu wouldn’t be appropriate as I have a lot of experience with them through family I’m just wondering about the grooming.
I’m guessing a terrier of some sort. Or a jack Russell? I’d like something to get muddy and have adventures with. It needs to be robust.
In my head I’m thinking 3 walks a day. I’m part time at home so I think this works. And I’d probably stick with petplan insurance.
If u have an experience or a breed to recommend I’d be interested. I’m in the researching phase.
I really need to keep busy as I’m so damn sad after our 12yr old cat. The house is full of ghosts. I’m not rushing. I don’t intend to have until after Easter holidays at very earliest. Maybe longer depending on any holidays as I don’t want to get them go away for two weeks!
Thoughts gratefully received.
