    It might be worth thinking about.....
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I've thought about it a lot. I'm not sure I can trust her and when both pets are used to the full run of the house, it's not fair to suddenly restrict that. They may be ok but is it worth the risk?

    With care, you can introduce them safely, and if it’s obvious it’s not going to work, then you can make a decision about next steps

    I'm not convinced. And J would rather I didn't bring Talia as A is scared of dogs. I don't think I can make the right decision no matter what I do.

    If A is scared of dogs taking Talia with you may not be the best option, it is as you say a very difficult decision to make with no right or wrong answer. What do the children think?

    It hasn't been discussed with them yet with me only just meeting them. They've always been around cats so I'm not sure how a dog would go down

    I'm ok. Taking advantage of the peace and quiet at J's but struggling to settle to my assignment. I keep getting up to do other things as I'm feeling a little agitated and jittery. On the plus side, Thomas has told his grandad that he likes me

    Hooray! Not that I thought there was any risk of him not liking you!

    Do you know why you're agitated and jittery?

    I don't. I get like this occasionally. Currently have Toby rubbing himself against me and purring in the hope that I'll feed him...he can wait until I have mine otherwise he'll be trying to steal mine too! I'm talking paws on my plate trying to pull my food to him and trying to eat off my plate...
