New additions

"The Pitter Patter of Tiny Feet"

Well, here we go again..........! Yet another addition to the family household.

Six an a half years after having Daniel we have decided its time to hear the patter of tiny feet around the house again.

This time though we have decided to go for the furry type of feet, and here he is with Daniel :-)

His name is Lucky as named by Daniel an he is a 6 week old Labrador puppy, we picked him up a couple of days ago and he is already making his prescence felt and made the house his own.

He was born at a stables where he's been til we picked him up and with a full litter of 7 pups he has had plenty of attention and wants to keep it that way.....

We have bought him a puppy bed which he doesn't like to sleep in instead preferring to sleep on the feet of whoever will let him (strange dog!!)

He cried quite a bit for the first night but he has settled down surprisingly very quickly and has got used to being alone now to the point where he just flakes out wherever he wants and pesters for attention when he decides he wants it.

Because he is only 6 weeks old we cant have him innoculated for another 2 weeks which means we cant take him anywhere yet for fear of him catching any bugs or doggie diseases.

Needless to say, being a pup he likes to excercise his teeth and has taken to chewing so we have had to give him plenty of toys to destroy but he does seem to have a liking for magazines (I did say he was a bit strange)

We are quite "Lucky" because we have a lockable hallway where he can sleep at night, although he has managed to find his way out of there once and left us several doggie surprises for when we got home. Only to be expected I suppose when you buy an untrained puppy.

This I'm sure is just the beginning of what promises to be an eventful future for the latest edition.....

Maybe I should have took the Advice from Lubos and had a baby sister for Daniel instead :-)
