I am to have a puppy. All arranged by younger daughter , son in law and son in law who isn't ? Please be happy for Lottie and for me, we are lonely and the home needs joy .

And my physiotherapist agrees

Just so pleased you’ve decided to get another. Just what you need. I like Cariad too. Cari for short. She’ll liven up Lottie too.

Anniebach. Thanks. I have had a cat but I prefer dogs and I wouldn't want to keep a cat in a small flat. It's life would be very limited. It isn't something that I dwell on but I must admit to a bit of envy when someone is getting a puppy!

Enjoy the pup, we have Henry, choccy lab who has testicular cancer, not looking forward to Christmas.

So pleased for you, look forward to hearing all the goings on.

Jaycee, I am so sorry, I understand how you feel, I have had to get along without human companionship but the thought of no dog is awful. Do you like cats? I know several people who have House cats and one friend has a house bunny.

I am so happy for you.

That is lovely. I wish I could have a puppy but I am in a first floor flat with no garden. Although we are allowed dogs I know that I wouldn't want to go out every time it needed to go as I would have been able to do when younger. I do miss having a dog though.

They lighten my life Willow, my husband bought me my first after we lost the babies, I love the way they put their heads on the side and listen when I chat to them, at night I have always told them what is on the list of jobs for the next day, Lottie sleeps all night bless her, I chat to her but she is flat out. I miss that chatting so much . When I bought Lottie I had two Westies, they mothered her , never had a nasty one, just love them so much, and those fat bums when they venture over the door, so sweet ?

My uncle bought my mum a Westie when she was 20 after a very sad time in her life - she called her Sally and always said she was the best little dog she ever had. They later got a budgie and the two were great friends - it used to ride round on Sally's head -wish I had a photo of her smile

Oh Annie you sound so much better with the excitement of a new little puppy on her way - soon we hope. What a lovely thing for your family to do. Keep us posted!

My late Welsh sister-in-law had a Jack Russell called Tegwen - which get shortened to Teggie. I think it's a Welsh name. Would that appeal?

Cherrytree59 Sun 10-Dec-17 20:16:52

Lovely news Annie
I'm sure you and Lottie will bring sunshine into the life of a little furry bundle.sunshine

How about Daffy after the Welsh daffodils? Better than Leekie after......well you get the drift. Whatever you choose annie I am sure she will be a much loved pup x

varian Sun 10-Dec-17 19:43:48

Lucy, Lily or Lindy would go with Lottie

Auntieflo Sun 10-Dec-17 18:20:56

Flora !

nanaK54 Sun 10-Dec-17 18:07:57

Oh Annie I am so pleased for you smile

If I had a little westie I would call her Trudi - just saying grin

We got our German Shepherd just after Christmas (9 years ago) and called her Steffi after St Stephen and Steffi Graf!!

MissAdventure Sun 10-Dec-17 16:00:27

How about Faith? Or Hope? They seem quite fitting.

Anniebach Sun 10-Dec-17 14:49:30

Don't mean to be unkind or ungrateful but really don't want reminders of this Christmas , hope you understand x

Jalima1108 Sun 10-Dec-17 14:38:53

Holly is a good idea!

grannyactivist Sun 10-Dec-17 14:36:07

Come on - what better Christmas name than Holly? And it fits so well with the previous names you've had Annie. Incidentally your dogs shared names with two of my granddaughters. smile
So pleased for you.

Jalima1108 Sun 10-Dec-17 14:28:15

I wasn't calling you when I said 'Hey You', it was a suggestion if all else fails

Jalima1108 Sun 10-Dec-17 14:25:52

Hey You!

Lowri

SueDonim Sun 10-Dec-17 14:25:18
