Yes, go to a Borzoi rescue group. There will be many rescue dogs. Hounds are hard to place........glamorous but with all of the hound traits. When are you leaving and wherever you settling? I love to stay in touch with dog people and hope to continue as a dog judge in Europe. |

I have found an exercise place that makes me feel good, it may keep me sane while we move. I do Zumba OMG I'm moving bits I haven't moved in years :lol: I just got back from class, after my shower I'm still glowing from the exercise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glexu90pMxo I have been going to Curves for 3 days a week for four years and they just started Zumba three times a week this year. Can't wait to see it but cos of the pneumonia I have to step back a bit Got called to Jury Duty pick tomorrow...... Fidelma xx |

(I'm brilliant at saving money) Either that or rent a place with minimal output so I can spend money on traveling around Europe. I'd like to share with someone, significant or insignificant other, so I can have a better lifestyle. Maybe have a place in Spain or Italy and go alternating back and forth so not to get on nerves. In a perfect world, I'd like to live alone, but I don't think I can, and realistically would rather be slightly irritated by someone else sometimes, than completely lonely as the years go by. Must have pets, artistic endeavors, friends, garden, water source nearby (river, lake, ocean), possible sunshine sometimes.

The owner had been arrested and was in jail and not able to get out to claim him. Sweet boy! I was there the second he became available, even before the Rescue.
And I can't look a chicken in the eye either. |

Pets, no they'e all passed. As you know, the larger breeds don't live much into their teens. I'd love to have pets now, hate not having them, but want to wait till I move. I usually have cats, dogs and birds and pretty much anything that trots by. Thought about a llama once, wouldn't mind a goat and some chickens too (for eggs). |
