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

I agree with Auntieflo you'll know what the right name is once you hold her Annie tchwink

Jalima1108 Wed 13-Dec-17 19:59:47

Sorry, I thought you had decided!

Anniebach Wed 13-Dec-17 20:19:52

I had decided but I have never named one of my puppies until they are with me , the breeder rang for a name to micro chip her, so I said Cariad thinking Carrie was fine, but when she arrived she wasn't. She is so beautiful , think she will be unsettled in the night but it won't be forever and my physiotherapist will be please I am not such a banana ?.

Wonderful. Enjoy yourselves together. Picture please?

NfkDumpling Wed 13-Dec-17 21:13:56

She'll be fine cuddled up to you in bed!

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 13-Dec-17 21:26:36

Has she got a hot water bottle wrapped up in something that smells comforting for her Annie? I used an old dressing gown! tchgrin

Anniebach Wed 13-Dec-17 21:45:03

The breeder gave a plump soft pig the puppy liked so that is here , I have a cuddle blanket ready for the night but I think she will sleep on the bed with Lottie and me, hope Lottie doesn't get huffy sharing a double bed ?, think a pillow between them grin

It's lovely seeing her prancing around and exploring , Lottie is curled up on my tummy watching carefully, they will be good companions once they sort out what is acceptable and what isn't . Be good if Lottie could dig deep inside and become top dog, she may , share has followed for six years,

Dogs are wonderful aren't they x

So happy for you and your puppy Annie, have a lovely time.

Auntieflo Wed 13-Dec-17 23:38:54

Annie, I am so happy that your little friend is at home with you. Sleep tight all three of you in the bed. I am a bit envy

WilmaKnickersfit Thu 14-Dec-17 00:25:06

Aw Annie. I'm so pleased for you and Lottie will be fine. Hope the little one doesn't wee on the bed in the night! tchgrin

Annie what lovely news to hear you've got your little dog already. We'd love to see a picture as soon as you can send one. I hope Lottie accepted her on the bed with you both smile

I can't wait to see a picture of the new puppy. I always wanted a westie but somehow landed up with a jack russell/border terrier cross. Long story .................. but I love her to bits and her name is Lottie.
(Holly is a great name for a Christmas puppy - it was the name of my last dog - a Yorkshire Terrier - bought for me at Christmas!!)
Hope you and your Lottie have a wonderful time with the new arrival tchgrin

Thank you all x

We went to bed about 11.30, puppy explored the bedroom , I took a large cushion in should Lottie get huffy and want it.

Puppy fell asleep in small,laundry basket I had left in the room, flat out. I woke at 3.00am she was sleeping on the big cushion snuggled up to a soft toy. She slept until 8.30 . Lottie still fast asleep on bed,

NfkDumpling Thu 14-Dec-17 09:44:18

Fantastic! Hopefully she'll continue to be that good. I think the presence of another dog helps and Westie's are such confidant little dogs.

Have you come up with a name yet?

Anniebach Thu 14-Dec-17 14:42:15

The nameless one has a name, looked through family tree,
She is Phoebe ?

Auntieflo Thu 14-Dec-17 15:21:28

Welcome to Phoebe. Happy days for you Annie with your new playmate. Hope Lottie doesn't get jealous.

Anniebach Thu 14-Dec-17 15:37:54

Thank you Auntyflo, if Lottie does get a bit jealous it will pass , she is getting lots of hugs ?

Anniebach Thu 14-Dec-17 22:03:52
