Was in the same boat,working away chasing the coin,3 kids under 6 didn't help,jacked my job in and now work local,half the money I was on, but I get home every night now and dogs, wife,kids a lot happier.I'm lucky that my 2 brothers will feed/ walk my dogs for me if I go away on holiday.I put my plans on hold before with my terriers and when I finally realised it's not all about work/ money it was to late they were to old,started from scratch again,swore to myself that the dogs will always come first and I'm alot happier now for it
good luck in what you decide, hope you get sorted.atb dc
