Pets

And being freshly retired when we got them, they were my constant companions for their whole life.

We did have labradors before, but working life gets in the way of any deep connection, it seems.

Hoping I gave them the best life possible.

Getting another dog now would be the quickest way to get over sad memories.

No way I'd take on one or two boisterous puppies now, but the local Animal League dog pound might see me there yet, looking for a middle aged Staffy to adopt.
They are popular here.

Hope springs eternal.
