Hopefully today goes well and you find a suitable dog walker.

I was thinking last night about what I would do in your situation and I really don't know. It has made me realise I could do with thinking about what I would do if I was out of work for a bit and come up with a back-up plan.

Crossing my fingers for you!

I'm one of the many lurkers who you never fail to bring a smile to with you and your animals antics. (PS how is Lucy?)

Anyway this is just to say I wish you well for your op and a speedy recovery! but please don't rush thing, if you need more time so be it, and it may be worth looking into arnica as it is supposed to help healing and can be bought from Holland & Barrat or Boots.

Oh and the way Zara cuddles up and mothers your cats makes me melt every time.

Looking forward to more antics when you're fully recovered.

Hope everything goes as well as possible.

Thanks everyone...

One completely not suitable (does not have any proof of address as he lives here on a basis of house sitting other people's houses - so he said.. hmmmm)

One possible.

Third one I am seeing on Thursday.....

Although I will be at home, I was told no way I should take Zara out by myslef for several weeks so the dog walker stays in place as usual.

(((hugs))) hun ...... you know we'll all be thinking of you and wishing you a very speedy recovery.

I was very lucky following my surgery last year - my next door neighbour took Ben out for a walk nearly every single day for 9 weeks :T - and that's despite working very long hours and having his own dog to walk (his is a "puller" and he couldn't manage both together so it was 2 separate walks). He's an absolute star and I'm very lucky to have had his help. DM came up a couple of times a week so Ben got longer walks those days (and neighbour got a a very deserved day off).

Fingers crossed for the dog walker......

That makes it 7 weeks off... I only have 1 month full pay and 2 months half pay so will have to be back at work (somehow) before 1 month is up.. strauggling as it is on current salary (love the job though) and no way I can afford to fall into the half pay.

Meant to say - how much are your travelling costs as the savings on these should help a bit if you do have to go to 1/2 pay.

Travelling is not that much to compare to half salary...

Will have to make sure I am up and running within a month, somehow...

Positive thoughts only...

Thanks

Good luck with the op doesn't sound very nice glad you have your dd and her bf to move in with you. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery I'm another one that have loved following Lucy and the rest of your brood.
