More puppy pictures

It was a lovely evening last night. Sunny and warm and with a puppy and a boy happily playing in the garden it was wonderful to sit down and admire the view.

What surprised me the most about Lily is how nice she smells. I've always disliked dog smell but Lily smells lovely! Is is only because she is a puppy? She is going to be quite a big dog I think! In just the first week she has put on nearly a kilo in weight!

We have now taught her the first useful thing: to retrieve cricket balls! This will definitely come in handy!

Just like a baby....

Our lives revolve around feeding, pooing, sleeping and playing. Just like when William was little!

Thankfully she is growing up quicker and learning faster! She is an adorable little creature and 95% of the time she is good as gold. The other 5% she is a scary, super-excited, growling and biting little devil! But we are getting there! Patience is the key!

We have a list from the vet with things she should encounter on a regular basis while she is little. It includes the funniest things: People with glasses, beards, in wheelchairs, wearing dark clothes and Halloween masks, motorbike helmets etc. We are getting there but so far not found someone in a wheel chair. Plenty of horses, mountain bikers, sheep and chickens though.

Puppy!!

Big news! We've got a puppy!

She is called Lily and is 9 weeks old tomorrow. Her dad is a Hungarian Vizsla and her mum is a strange terrier cross (lots of breeds in there I think!)

She has settled in quite nicely (lots of poo and wee accidents) but is sleeping well at night and loves all of us as much as we love her!

This morning I took her to the vet for her immunisation and deworming and since it wasn't too far to Manchester from there I've taken her to work now and she is sleeping under my desk. Our internet is playing up so that is why I haven't posted earlier. We are going to a puppy party later this afternoon.

Home

Just to let you know I'm back home from Italy now. Lovely two weeks and I'll tell you all about it later! Unfortunately without the photos as I lost my camera during a mountain adventure....

More soon!
