It's funny how having kids can change your perspective on so many things. Once upon a time, I could not imagine ever being without a cat but I would certainly think twice now about taking another pet on. The Grumps will get his dog one day ... when he retires or when Ben gets his head round cleaning up after the dog! Last time he saw a dog doing a poo, he ran off screaming.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-61636241185761717772013-09-04T14:46:17.790+01:002013-09-04T14:46:17.790+01:00What a lovely post!

Something to do with me being too old for babies. I know I'd end up looking after it, like I do the guinea pigs, fish and hamsters...actually hamster. It took my boy 5 weeks to notice there was now one not two hamsters in the stinky cage. And you look great in these pictures!!!

So personal and nice to see your face :)) (says the girl who has been hiding her face for almost two years).<br />On the dogs matter, I get you because I have a dog. Actually we got the dog before having the boys and if the boys would have come first I guess that there was no room for the dog. Having said that, my dog is a dear and I cannot imagine our life without her. She is a golden retriever and is probably the nicest, sweetest and caring dog that I have ever met. and the boys do love her as much (I hope that Grumps will not read my comment!). take care xxMartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014758361801716347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-89177784310455690702013-09-03T08:46:30.467+01:002013-09-03T08:46:30.467+01:00Oh Kristina.

But that means they need a lot of exercise and I'm just not an exercising kind of lady and I know that it would ultimately become my job.<br /><br />I remember one of the posts you did last year where you had your doggy just basking in the sun.

You crazy moo. Honestly, I do like dogs - I just can't have one, they are too incredibly tying and I know that from just going to let my friend's dog out for a week at lunchtimes. So yeah - hard face and hard head on - no dogs for the time being.<br /><br />And the boots - they do the job the're intended for. At the same time when I got the boots, I was getting kitted out with a new rucksack. I was pointed in the direction of an orange one (yeah yeah, I know, it should be nice and bright so if you get lost, you get seen) but I opted for the silver DKNY looking one.

They are much less work than I thought, depending on the breed of course - mine doesn't shed or need hours of exercise every day, but she needs a good haircut once a month to avoid looking like a mop, a process which can easily take a few hours. Of course, we adopted her when she was already an adult - Getting a puppy is a whole different story, or so I've heard ;)<br /><br />It looks like you had a wonderful stay with your friends! Seeing your photos of the coast and the beach actually made me a bit homesick, as we have a similar spot near where my parents live :)Majahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003238334988052560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-44026850500642326102013-09-01T10:53:10.259+01:002013-09-01T10:53:10.259+01:00You totally faked me out.

Of course, he didn't care much either way (sorry), but I got so excited for a minute! And then the picture of your boys with those pups... How do you resist? Ok ok, enough peer pressure, you don't want one you don't want one. Onto more sartorial topics: I actually really like your walking shoes. They look tough and outdoorsy and cool. And also like they weigh ten tons. Oh and, get a dog ;)<br /><br />http://www.nomadicd.com/<br />Nomadic D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303665587576888183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-59527692032054307602013-08-31T22:16:32.893+01:002013-08-31T22:16:32.893+01:00French toast - otherwise known as eggy bread.
