Tuesday 23rd December 2008













Which is cuter? With today being my new puppies first day at Castle Greyskull (aka 17 Rae Circle) I think the prixe must go to the baby of the canine variety. This, however, will be a one day award as I expect Luca to come out fighting and reclaim his title!
I'm sure most of you were already aware, but this wee pooch is my Christmas present from Carole. Unbelievably mum didn't let the cat out of the bag, so I guess Carole's threat of limited Luca visits did the trick! I have to admit, I did have an inkling. Perhaps in my younger, prettier and dumber days the hints and clues may have flown over my head, but due to being a lot older with a rather reduced prettiness factor my "smarts" have increased exponentially in relation.
Well, at least that's what I tell myself! Kelly would no doubt be able to psychologically analyse such an obvious form of narcissism, but being the kind, caring sister she is I'm certain she'll let this pass without comment....
Ignoring the rather academic last couple of paragraphs, I'm absolutely delighted with my present. Since Tylers departure I've missed having a doggy companion - Abby and Isis were a perfect gruesome twosome but were very much Caroles girls - and have idly mused with Carole occasionally as to preferred dog breeds. However, this is my first puppy so I have a learning curve ahead. Still, whatever happens, no learning curve will be as steep as that which commenced on 30th December 2006!
Waffling aside, I need to sign off and try to get the ball of fur to drink something - I also need to figure out a name for her too, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Carole has already vetoed all Transformer character names.....
Before I go though - mum, you forgot to post your photo's on your blog!!
**Useless fact of the day - The Jack Russell Terrier is a happy, energetic dog breed. They are small in size, but their attitude and strength says otherwise. Jack Russell’s are extremely alert, bold and loyal. They have amusing personalities and are exceptionally intelligent**
