I'm tired........but

[secrets22]

I would'nt enjoy not having a business to attend to but I have a lot to deal with on my own & it takes up the biggest part of my day. Yes i use a letting agent but they only do a fraction of what's required and i manage the rest. Taxes, invoices, payments, work schedules, banking, as well as personal & private. The only thing that keeps me sane are my 4 legged friends Yonnie & Diva, again they are an enormous tie and I wont leave them for more than 2/3 hours, but they give back much more than you might imagine, they are family🐕🐕‍🦺

Molly and Oliver get me through some of my roughest days. Pets are family. The unconditional love and acceptance they give is impossible to put into words.

yes, our pets are an absolute joy , they have an innocence not found in humankind.

Hi Secrets. Life seems to get faster and faster and l think we all need to slow down but it’s being able to do that. Your animals will help you to focus on them and give you a break. They always go at their own pace. I lost my husband a few years ago and if not for my lovely dog, l dread to think where l would be. He got me up in the morning. They give you a reason to go on.

Hello Cavalierrubie.........the loss of a much-loved partner often brings us to the brink, but our dogs make life worthwhile, they really are a heaven-sent gift. The comfort they bring is immeasurable.

I miss. having a dog so much, we’ve always had one , they came on holidays and everywhere where we went, but as we’ve got older and both had lots of health problems it’s not fair on the dog, but we have so many wonderful memories 🐕😘

Absolutely, it's not glamourous at all, it's often a nightmare.

Would it be better to allow your Letting Agent take on a bit more of the weight?

OK, it will cost a bit more, but it may be worth the investment to give you some more peace of mind in the everyday running of your life.

Just a suggestion, but if you could unload a bit of it onto someone else, it may help, because it sounds as if you are chasing your own tail right now.

I'm glad you have Yonnie and Diva to keep you grounded, there's nothing better than the unconditional love of a dog or two.I'd love a dog again, but at my age I'd hate to take on an animal I couldn't guarantee to keep until the end of it's life. I love big couch potato dogs, but I couldn't handle one now, being physically disabled, and If I had a little one, I would almost certainly trip over it, which wouldn't be good for either of us!👵🤸😱

Cheers, Midori
