SOOOO excited as Peggy the Cavapoo is coming to stay for 4 days from today, via BorrowMyDoggy - and this is all weirdly thanks to Wim Hof! HUH?! I'll explain... The boys have wanted a dog for YEARS, but I said we needed a bigger house and garden. Hubby Andy Pieroux was always against the idea. Them we got the bigger house/garden but I wanted all the building work to be completed rather than putting a dog through all that. (We've done 2 of the 3 floors and have had to pause - renovs do not come cheap!). End of August, at Camp Bestival, Andy and I did the Wim Hof experience (including an ice bath for 2 minutes!!!). There was a lot of breathing, meditation, sound baths, etc... and everyone said afterwards that they felt.. Relaxed... Energised... Clearer-headed... (etc) Then Andy sat up and he said he was now in no doubt that we needed a dog! (He's now calling it an 'epuphany'....) You can imagine my shock and cynicism! If he changed his mind suddenly in a breathing workshop, what if it changed back again at another? It's a HUGE commitment, so once we got home, I signed us up on borrowmydoggy . com to trial the concept of dog ownership. Part-time dogging (as hubby is now calling it - I've asked him not to!) is perfect for the dog-curious. Also - I noticed there's LOADS of single people on the site - either with a dog who need support or who want a dog but can't commit. I can't help but wonder if owner/borrowers have found human love as a result too?! Verdict so far: I'm actually loving the concept as a lifestyle choice in itself if you love dogs, but can't (or don't want) to have a whole one! (Especially good for us, for now with further building works in the plan...) What prompted you to get a dog? (And/or have you used the site before?) I'd love to know! #FridayFun #DogsofLinkedIn
