Mam and Dad decided that as I was growing up and old enough to go to hotels on holiday that we wouldn't get another dog as It would mean we would have to stick to camping. I went away to college and when I got back I got a job in the library service with working hours that at the time included a twelve hour day once a week and living in a bed sit a pet wouldn't be a good idea. My habitation went up the scale as time went by but my working hours didn't change much( to 5:30 4 days a week and 9 to 7 one day a week)so a dog was not a good idea. I did think about a cat or two from time time to time but as my parents got older I went home for weekend more often I was only 12 miles away. And while dogs get used to having two homes and traveling by bus I don't think cats do and I could not contemplate leaving an animal alone in the house for two days at a time. Retirement ment I had the freedom to have a dog, my first choice, again and Saffron filled that niche. Kandi came along because Saffron missed doggy companions and Kandi needed a home.
