Harry, whilst not a reason to work for myself, it’s a nice side effect that I can have the dogs with me at work. When I started, I swear they were the most travelled dogs in the UK. Suspect there would be more places that don’t let dogs in with Elf &Safety and Allergies and what nots. 
SCott, sorry to hear about your Dad but I’d not have done this without mine taking me out as a nipper. Good luck, I hope it continues well for you.
Punchy, yep, Dad’s slave 
Happy days though. Funnily enough, money was never a reason, it’s turned out well (could have been a lot better but I CBA) despite my disinterest.
