Playing chess with pigeons
They are hard work and if you don't have loads of dogs you forget by the time you get the next one .
But I love everything about dogs except picking up poo and the hair in the house my 'puppy ' is two next month and I loved every thing about watching him grow up apart from when he ate my OH's new leather chair .
That is the trouble, you need time to forget. I really wanted another pup from Tawny's mum but she then didn't have a litter. She is now hopefully having one next year, which means only 18 months between pups (hers will be late summer), which doesn't give OH time to get over it. And late summer he lives on his tractor and I will be a single parent who works. Difficult!
