Hi another singleton here!
I've been hankering after a cocker for about 18 months now, but being single I won't consider it ... well I do and then my conscience gets the better of me. I was working full-time, but got made redundant two months ago. It was so tempting to get a dog at that time, but the thought was always in the back of my mind that one day I would find another job ... fingers are still crossed on that one! I was a paralegal in a law firm, but am now looking into ways of maybe working part-time (becoming a driving instructor or typing at home) and getting a lodger in, so that I can get my beloved dream dog. Obviously, the mortgage and bills must be paid to keep a roof over my head so that is my first priority at the moment.
I've always wanted to work with animals in some way (my career teacher said I wasn't clever enough - pah!) and used to work in a local vet whilst still at school but fell into the law by accident really. Maybe I'll get around to doing the dog training course I've thought about too. Ideally, I'd like a boarding kennels in the country with training school attached, but until I meet a rich, animal-mad guy or win the lottery myself it won't be possible for now.
Anyway, this site keeps me going for the time being.
