We had been seriously considering getting another rescue cat, after the demise of our last one, Tiggs, a couple of years back, but Damian kept throwing out the idea that a dog may be the better option for our expanding waistlines. I've had both cats and dogs, so I wasn't opposed to the idea, but kept thinking a cat is so much easier (not to give you a spoiler, but I'm right about that).

Whilst wandering through Facebook I happened on a post on my sister's page that changed everything.

One recce visit, and a phone call later, Lilly was picked up, and she became part of the Turner family. Now, she is the best dog in the universe (I know, we all think that about our own fur babies, but it's true), but she has a terrible affliction - she is a time vampire who sucks all the working time out of the day.  You see she has the most adorable set of puppy eyes, and she knows how to work them. She likes to wander up, bump your wrist so you stop typing, and then proceeds to stare into your soul, demanding attention, and boy does she get it! Working from home may be great for her, but not so much for us.
