Hi @Rodge - welcome to the community. Thank you for joining & sharing about yourself. I'm very sorry you're on your own now, but hope that Alfie helps just a little. My son has a Bedlington terrier called Stan, & I have a 1 year old cat called Shadow.We have a link where people who have pets talk about them, & share photos. You might be interested to have a look. See: https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/71496/your-pets-pictures-please-share#latestHave you talked to your GP about your painful feet & difficulty walking? They may be able to help.I hope you enjoy being part of Scope's online community, as everyone here is very friendly & supportive.
