We have recently emigrated to Australia from the UK where we had a cat and a dog, and giving them up broke our hearts. We have made the decision to not get our own pets for now until we are 100% settled. We are however, about to become new parents (end of November) - I walk everyday along the waterfront and would love to add a dog to my little gang of 1, sometimes 2 when my husband, Adam, joins me and soon to be 3! We would also love to host cats, our house is split level - the cat would enjoy the calm of the open plan upstairs living with many sunny spots on sofas to shed fur and relax....
