buffie Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Oh lesley how beautiful, a playmate for daisie Name, boy or girl. have you kissed it yet!! You have to smell a puppy BBx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 oo-er - I did hold it but I didn't know I had to kiss it as well I am totally resigned to the fact that we do need a dog and Carl is ecstatic - he's always wanted a black lab. He has always kept dogs but his last dog stayed at his Mother's when he moved in with me as it was elderly and wouldn't have appreciated moving house. It is a girl puppy - not named yet although we have a few names being discussed. Please feel free to add any other names She is 3 weeks old today and we will pick her up in 4 weeks time. Carl's birthday is in July and as we are not taking any holidays this year and we won't be in France for his birthday as we usually are , he decided that now was the time to have a dog again. (I did suggest she should have a French name but he says he's not calling a dog 'Fifi' ) There have been a spate of burgaries from farms in the area - she'll have to grow quickly and learn to bark loudly I will feel less vulnerable when she is older as we have no near neighbours.

The Dogmother Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 What brilliant news Lesley - she is sooooo beautiful. Rosie will be ecstatic when I tell her (so will Phil ) Call her Colette, that's a lovely French name. Can't wait to see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Oh, Lesley, she is beautiful! Stand by for every muddy puddle to be investigated at length - you might want to invest in a downstairs shower room! (see sig about my black lab!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 She looks gorgeous Lesley Daughter, who is rarely interested in the forum, instructs me to keep her updated with your new livestock photos. Normally I get pouts and mutterings about things not being fair and "I want one" , tonight she's got all hot and bothered, practically drooling at the photo and I'm a dreadful mean mother, oh, and yes, she wants one I think I'm going to have to stop showing her your postings in order to preserve my domestic harmony. But Carl's puppy is adorable, even I find myself melting at her photo. I'll look forward to more pictures when she arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 You'd better tell your daughter to start saving Kate Helen - I did notice your sig. just after I'd posted the photo - do you think we could get our deposit back? We have narrowed the names down to 2 - but we have 4 weeks to think about it yet. The new chicken runs were finished today. The gates are all on now and each Eglu has its own platform so all the chooks now have shade and their food and water will be under cover. Well, when I say finished..... - we are talking men here - the latches were not the right ones and will be fitted soon - it is time for the barley harvest Matthew and friend will be back when they have completed that. The pigs will also get their new paddock then as well. We are getting a visit from the police in the morning - re Carl's Gun Licence application.
