I look every day to see if spring is really here. On sunny days like yesterday I do feel excited..I so want the cold dull days gone! But even with the sun yesterday I didn't feel like doing any thing. I have TATT...Tired all the time! I get up 3 times in the night for the toilet and although I go back to sleep, when I get up in the mornings, I'm tired and even after a shower I'm still bleary eyed.
Yesterday we did have a plan, compost to get, fill up the car, bananas, peppers, mushrooms, birthday cards and paracetamol, although, we forgot honey.. So we were showered and on our way before 10.. First stop Costa for a coffee and my 'blue mood' went. Was it the sunshine? the coffee? no... and it was good... the SW Hi-fi bar? no!... altho it is a lovely chocolate taste, no. None of these, because sitting behind us were two ladies with the cutest dog, pretty little cream coloured, ball of fluff. She was absolutely gorgeous, snuffling around and looking up at me. If she didn't have her mistress there, I'd have run off with her! I hardly spoke to Dh I was so busy watching that cutie.. we left there and my blues had gone..I remembered all the times we'd sat outside coffee shops with Nell, under their awnings getting cold, because they weren't dog friendly then.
We enjoyed Tesco. I found some super cards for the men in my life and we bought the bits we needed and came home to eat bacon and eggs and mushrooms. We cleaned the kitchen (me) the shower (Dh) and then he pushed the vac rround the lounge, I cant as the super duper vac Dh chose is too heavy for me! That is not an excuse, it really is.
So do I need a dog, we have talked about getting another one, but decided at our age, we're too old.. and Dh worries that the Vet is not in our town, so what if we didn't have a car. So no dog for us, but it doesn't stop me talking to them, when we see them out, and remembering our Nell.

My lovely dog Betty makes me smile every single day, I can't imagine life without her.
Great picture of your sweet Nell. And do I know how much company a pet gives. It is great when you go out that you get to see other people's dogs and enjoys their company for a few moments.
I am a dog greeter. I make a fuss of them when I see them out. I also talk to their owners. Can you borrow a dog. Walk one for someone who is not able to walk their own. Billy dog gets excited when I turn up to take him out.
I understand you reasons for not having a dog. We feel the same!
Awww - Nell was a beauty!
I'm exactly the same... about our cats! Our last cat died just over a year ago, and we agreed then 'no more kittens or cats', much as we would like to. But... but No!
I understand why you are reluctant to get another dog, I think you're being very sensible. I lost my 2 cats within a year, 12 months this week since the last one, Molly went. Sometimes I would love another cat but just can't bring myself to take the plunge.
Aw, I do love to see dogs too when we are out...even though we have 3 at home. You are wise not to get one, though. I doubt we will ever get another, because we are almost 74, and another young dog would just be too much. But you are right, they truly are mood lifters!
We also decided no more pets when our old cat died, they do leave a gap don't they?
I'm glad that the sight of that dog lifted your spirits. But, having a pet is a big responsibility, isn't it?
I really miss having a dog. I've had at least one and sometimes two in my life since I was a baby in a playpen. But the cost of vet expenses is one of the reasons I'm not getting one plus it would be harder now, living in an apartment, than it was in a stand-alone house. Have you thought about fostering? That's short term.
Such a sweet picture of Nell.
All the best Jan
I'm so glad that the little dog lifted your spirits, Chris.
