Depression? Get a dog.
I have finally realized why I cannot get out of this funk of depression. I need a dog!
In 2015 I got breast cancer and finished treatment apart from hormone therapy in 2016. In 2017 one of my dogs got bone cancer and had to be put down at Xmas. In April 2018 my old dog had to be put down at a record 17 years old. Ever since I cannot get out of depression. I come good for a few days and then slither back in to despondency.
Well, I am going to do something about it. I went to the council adoption pound and I am getting a horse of a dog called Zane the Dane. He needs to become two stones lighter at the vets on Wednesday but after that I can take him home.
I am so excited! Shifting furniture to cater for a big dog and getting up early every morning in preparation for doggie walkies. I am a different person. Pics will be folllowing on our progress.

- What a beautiful dog he appears to be! No doubt endless hours of company for you both and some mischief thrown in
Enjoy - So dejected...
- AAwwww....what a sad face.
- He's adorable!
- OMG that FACE!!!
- He won't leave off licking where his boy bits were so its the cone for him for a few days.
- Okay ladies. Just stop it! I am getting sooooooo jealous. I want a dog too. Unfortunately it is too hard to find a rental property when you have a furry family member. Besides which, we managed caravan parks for a couple years and hubby is over dogs due to their rotten owners “fifi is so quiet and obedient you won’t even notice her!” Uh huh, right. That would explain why we had our ankles nipped? Common occurrence. Barking, nipping, off leads, pooping in playground, snuck into kitchen area. Not the dogs fault. If we ever have our own home again I am going to have my work cut out for me convincing him to add a furry family member. Even if they are so gorgeous and add so much joy.
- My beautiful 65 kg Boofhead.
- How adorable!!! I love that he has a love heart on his side, and how happy you are!! Enjoy him Brenda and give him a huge hug from me please :smile:
- They’re gorgeous @Sarnicad ❤️
