Ahhh, sorry Angela - George won on this occasion!! My head knows that it makes sense, but my heart is broken!! He was so adorable but dogs do take a lot of looking after (if they are looked after properly) and we didn't want to commit to the responsibility. We did used to have a dog many years ago, a Jack Russell and 3 cats and we always said that when they went to pet heaven we wouldn't replace them!! Maybe in a few years we might have a change of heart but for the moment we are pet free!! PS - George assures me that Socks has gone to good home with nice new parents!!
