I know how you feel about your dogs, at the end of last year I had to rehome my Rabbit cos of the move and at the time we had planned to take Fergus, our Boxer puppy to NZ with us.

In about February time we decided it wasn't fair to take our pooch with us and adopted him out to the Boxer Welfare in Scotland a week before my Birthday.

It's a really heart breaking thing to do, I was devasted, it's taken us a while to get over it and we think of the wee lad every day and I still have tears about him but we both know it was the right thing to do and trust me it does get easier (she says as her eyes fill up with tears talking about it) but honestly it does get easier.

Do you have a home for your pooches?

Re your Visa's we wanted to do the 12 month one to start with too but I married an old foggie :icon_lol: and he's 31 in Oct so we wouldnt be able to extend or visa, or should I say he wouldn't I'd be just fine tee hee so instead of restricting ourselves to 12 months initially we decided to do the 23 month.

I bet you're all over the place at the moment, tomorrow will be easier as the news will have sunk into everyone. Are you getting any visitors from friends/family when you go out?
