Hi, cj, and thank you for your kind words about Charlie. It certainly doesn't get any easier when you lose one, does it? I am debating whether to have another Beardie. It's difficult, as I am on my own now, and we all know how Beardies love company. I am fortunately in the position where I could take my dog to work with me, but one doesn't know what the future may bring, if I had to change jobs for example. It wouldn't be fair on the dog to leave him/her at home all day. So, much as I would love another one, I just don't know whether it would be right. The dog's welfare has to come first, and not one's own selfish wish to have another one. Thanks and 'bye for now.
