Drum roll please

Daughter2, named her Westie Winnie Alima, Winnie was the love of her life, she still grieves for her after fourteen years, she wouldn't be happy if I chose that and she is buying me the puppy , sweet name isn't it . We have had so many dogs between us, I think I will have to start from the beginning again.

Happy hunting Annie. Winnie the Westie?

I tend to like names ending in y or ie, makes calling them easier ?Did have a Sam but he was a chap and a delight

Could have a chap but that op , ooooh

How about Carol?

It will be a little girl Crafting ?

annie so excited for you. Glad you are getting a new puppy can't wait to hear all about it. ????? (how about Santa as a Christmassy name )

Cariad means darling or beloved one ?

Oh yes, too much like Bonnie, I was thinking of 'white'.

Cariad is lovely

Aw I like Bronnie, had a great aunt Bronnie, she died in the Aberfan disaster . But similar to my beloved Bonnie , quite like Cariad ?

I must stop name-hunting
Bronwen (Bronnie)

Hope in time for Christmas Eglantine but won't be able to have pick of litter, never mind , I will love the runt ? Brother just phoned, sounded exasperated- must she be a Westie? Felt like saying any breed as long as it has four legs ?

Wonderful news looking forward to puppy pictures!

How lovely Annie. In time for Christmas?

And if ten posted suggestions I would want to give the puppy ten names , no, couldn't choose

You could run a ‘choose a name for Annie’s pup’ thread on GN and then you’d have plenty to choose from Annie ???

Aw look at that bum, ?thank you, shyshal.

Have to be so careful in Mid Wales we are so near puppy farms, the tricks they get up to, frightening . Poor bitches.

Most popular breed in my county are sheep dogs, no prizes for guessing why. Granddaughter1 who wanted a Cavalier now wants a pug, went off to sleep last night counting dogs, six Westies, four Yorkies, two Poodles, two Beagles . Loved them all. Have nine urns in a cupboard , they are coming with me, daughter2 said if I didn't stop there would be no room for me. Choosing a name is getting difficult , daughter 1 had six dogs, daughter 2 has three and had 2 before, son in law has two Yorkie x Jack R, son in law who isn't has their sister. Lottie is use to dogs coming in our home.

My brother will travel anywhere for me, his wife will take an iPad and I can choose the puppy , I can't go this time, stuck in wrong part of town. Be prepared for some boring posts

Annie, lovely news. I think you should call her Netty (after Gransnet).

How wonderful for you Annie! You won't be bored and she might even improve your appetite
Here is a reminder of the Westie bum you love so much.

The best news of the morning Annie. A puppy will bring you so much happiness, as well as taxing your patience and energy levels. Westie's are great little dogs. Looking forward to learning what breed you decide x

What lovely news Annie! Let us know all about her.

We have decided not to gave another dog too, but the temptation is strong!

That’s lovely news, you deserve some happy times. Enjoy!

Oh Annie that's the best news ever - so pleased you've made that decision and can't wait to hear when your new arrival is due

Jamilla, doubt queenies corgies speak Welsh either ?

A puppy to train will help me not to be a banana

Auntyflo, not cleared those drawers to make room for the table yet , granddaughter 1 is going to help when home from university

I'm envious too! Our little dog is 18 now and very arthritic, deaf and has cataracts. DH and I have decided not to have another dog when she is gone.

Annie, I am so so pleased for you, and just a bit . You will love him/her to bits, and be loved and licked and cuddled back in spades. Please don't forget to tell us the arrival date, and all the other soppy bits that we are longing to hear.
Now, are you doing any jigsaws yet???
Love and hugs.
