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

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

Jamison Wed 13-Dec-17 22:05:59

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

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

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

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

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

Alima Wed 13-Dec-17 20:33:23

Wonderful. Enjoy yourselves together. Picture please?

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 ?.

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

Sorry, I thought you had decided!

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 13-Dec-17 19:54:58

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

NfkDumpling Wed 13-Dec-17 19:39:09

Is she home yet?

Auntieflo Wed 13-Dec-17 19:22:10

Annie, once you see her, and hold her in your arms, you will know her name. So glad for you that she is on the way home.

Anniebach Wed 13-Dec-17 18:51:44

She is not a Cariad , I mean she is lovely but name isn't right , sorry

Jalima1108 Wed 13-Dec-17 17:46:00

Ooh, I am excited - I'll have to enjoy hearing about Cariad as we decided not to have another dog ourselves.

SueDonim Wed 13-Dec-17 14:18:38

Ooh! Hot water bottle warming her bed? I'm looking forward to a photo!

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 13-Dec-17 14:16:31

So exciting for you all Annie tchgrin Looking forward to seeing a photo soon.

Anniebach Wed 13-Dec-17 13:47:25

Bed ready, told Lottie?, granddaughter 2 is cuddling her in the car.

Granddaughter2 is referring to her as Carrie, which brings up memories of Stephen Kings - Carrie White, gulp?

Crafting Wed 13-Dec-17 13:39:34

Ooooh. Is she coming today annie? Can we have a photo? Is her bed ready? Have you told lottie? I am so excited for you (as you might have guessed tchblush)

Anniebach Wed 13-Dec-17 13:30:51

To all who have been so kind

Cariad the Westie is in her way home

Thank you all x

So pleased you are getting another little dog, after all the sadness of the past few weeks she will lift your spirits.
I had my Missie foist on me (I must admit a little unwillingly) after several dog-less years and despite my misgivings, and the fact that she can be a real pain in the arse as she refuses to 'go' in the garden , she fills the rather lonely evenings and is a huge comfort when we snuggle up in bed. Having to walk her twice a day has resulted in me losing a stone in weight since April, so she's helped me rather more than I've helped her.
Hope the snow goes soon. I'm sure you can't wait for your brother to bring your new canine companion to her new home

Anniebach Tue 12-Dec-17 20:03:40

Crafting, waiting for the roads to clear, the breeder's drive is still snowed up and we have had a weather warning of severe black ice in our area tomorrow. So waiting for a thaw, my brother will then go down , see the puppy with her brother and parents and if all is as it should be he will bring her home to Lottie and me ?

Crafting Tue 12-Dec-17 19:52:45

Can't wait to hear all about your new puppy when she arrives annie. Do you know when it will be yet?

Anniebach Tue 12-Dec-17 16:41:30

Sue, she will be ? Thank you x

SueDonim Tue 12-Dec-17 16:15:24

Anniebach I'm sure your dog will be the creme de la creme!

Friday that sounds lovely, are there quarantine requirements?

Anniebach Tue 12-Dec-17 15:38:05
