I have also promised I won't spend as much time at work and that he will have a big, well bigger than what we have, backyard.

She loved our dog "buddy" and looked after him took him to dog training every Saturday and he became her best friend, he then dropped dead with a heart defect. So yes we have promised her a dog as soon as we get over ( August next year we hope). Swimming with dolphins was on our list of to do's on our reccie but I got cold feet (bit scared of great whites due to a couple of stories friends told me, idiot I know). We did meet Steve Erwin though, sons hero ( Uncle in Brisbane arranged it) he was at Australia zoo on good Friday, our son spent an hour silent with his jaw open it was great.
