I have always had pets my whole life. Nothing out of the ordinary, usually cats and dogs and a few rabbits when my children were little. We had our dog Bella for 16 years. We got her at approx 18 months old from Dogs Trust but she has now very sadly passed away. Whilst we would love another dog we now have a Granddaughter who lives in Essex so we travel there often and at present the best option for us is to help out dog owners who require day care for their fur baby which gives us the best of both worlds in that we don’t have to commit to having a dog full time but can enjoy the company of someone else’s and at the same time help them out.
