Meet the latest addition to our family unit. She joined us yesterday, aged just 8 weeks. As you would expect she is somewhat excitable, and that excitement can only be matched, if not bettered by that of my three boys.
Hopefully, there will be many happy years ahead. As yet, her name is not yet cast in stone, let's call her L for now. The fact that our youngest can say that particular name after one day, when he has only in the last week started to say his own, means it's likely a stick on, but we reserve the right to change our minds over the next few days.
You have to admire the sheer sense of comedic genius on my part here. Puppy arrives yesterday afternoon. School breaks off tomorrow lunch time. I have SS coming for the weekend tomorrow, and have her Christmas shopping to complete, before partaking in a family fun day at the rugby club on Sunday morning. Wife goes offshore Monday for a week, so it's the lads and I over the festive week looking after ourselves and a puppy. Would this outrageous turn of events not set the scene for a Ben Elton play perfectly....?
One thing is for certain, we'll have fun doing it. I dare say we'll have some rage, anger, joy and pleasure too somewhere in between. R has already spent some time reading and mastering his training techniques and is eager to try them out. O is somewhat weary of nippy little sharp teeth, whereas C just bulldozes the poor puppy out his way. They already seem to have built up a mutual respect for each others personal space those two...
It's very early days, but we'll see how it evolves.
