There is one question that I absolutely dread being asked and that is; what are your plans for the next five years? Even just alluding to that question fills me fear as I simply do not know the answer and I can't work out whether that's a problem or not. Every single day without fail I think about the future and sometimes just the thought of it sends me into a spiral of worry that keeps me up at night. And I know this a pointless exercise because nothing is ever promised to us, we cannot guarantee the future but we all spend so much time focusing on it. So today I wanted to discuss with you the topic of ambition, hopes and dreams and whether or not it's a bad thing to not have huge Pinterest worthy dreams.

Any loyal reader of this blog will be all too aware of the story of my beloved pup Josie. We got her last year and I've written about her so many times and all the wonderful things she's taught me so many times.

The decision to get a second dog was a scary one, as Josie was such a handful as a pup I thought it might be the same for another dog but I was so, so wrong. So here is the story of Edie and a few things we've learned about getting a second dog!
