Way hay Sharon, thats just fantastic news gal :) :)

Soooo, you've got the old boy for another month at least then :) thats just great gal :) ermmmm, just wandering :o have you thought about getting a puppy, so then, Archie can teach him how to go on eh :o cos dogs do talk to each other, in their own language that is :) and perhaps Archie will enjoy bossing a youngon about eh :| :D :D

Like I say, just a thought gal and you take care :) xx

He he, Monky my son would love to get a pup but to be honest now I'm working again and as much as I love dogs they are like having another child! I won't miss picking up the poos aswell in the garden everyday lol
