From having more dog towels than human towels, to painting the entry walls from the garden a darker colour so you can hang on a few more days before you wash them AGAIN - the number of times I have heard people say ''Emma, not another Newfoundland! You already have enough!"
Enough? What is enough? My guests now come to my home in their ''Going to Emma's clothes'' and I own more dog walking outfits than I do pretty dresses... in fact just about all the dresses I own now are frumpy show dresses that are bright colours so a dog stands out against me in the ring... See what I am saying? It is ALL about the dogs.
My beautiful and expensive fabric corner sofa? Gone! Swapped for a cheaper leather version... just wipe clean! My side of the bed? Taken! Looks like I'm sleeping on the couch! My nice dress ready for a hot date? Slobbered on just before I am about to leave!
Am I painting a good picture here? A wet, muddy, slobbery hairy wonderful picture? I hope so because I wouldn't change any of it for the world...
