Imagine my surprise when this picture dropped into my inbox. Since Sima's arrival with us at Christmas I've been trying to source his family history - the above picture is his dad! I'm now a tad worried as to her future prospects.
It's OK, as the non-mentally impaired among you will already has ascertained, the entire paragraph above is a lie. I simply don't have any new photo's to post and as such decided to follow Kelly's lead of just bunging any old image on! I liked this one as it is a real dog, and - rather unsurprisingly - has been voted the worlds ugliest dog.
I do actually have a few new images of Lucaon the camera, but for some reason can't upload them just now. Be assured, however, I will keep trying - his poses will be with you before long.
What's happened this week? Not a lot, Luca has been back to nursery after New Year and has started in a new section - the 2 years plus. He seems to be settling in well, though in this older age section they get more tellings off! No doubt he will break the record for such disciplinary action.... They're also insisting on the wee ones drinking out of proper cups rather than beakers. This isn't something we've yet attempted with Luca, so a messy time is on the horizon.
Aside from this, he's also spent some time with Granny, Granda and Uncle Ross. Or Grama, Dadad and Boss in "Luca's language"! Ross is starting to become quite popular with the wee man now for some reason. He's always shown a certain hesitation to him before but the warming process has started. Fine by me, that's an extra babysitter now!
Still not happy with Kelly for moving away not long after he was born before she fulfilled her babysitting duties however! There is many a movie at the cinema we've missed because of the lack of an auntie you know...
Speaking of films, we watched "Juno" on DVD last night. Terrific movie, but spoilt by sound problems. It received a rare double thumbs up from us though, so catch it if you haven't already.
Carole started her new membership at Bannatynes this week, and, by all accounts, loved it. She's starting on two classes a week, but hopes to increase to four long term. She's going to be sore....
We've quite a quiet weekend coming up. Tomorrow we're taking Luca to Hazelhead to the petting farm, and will hopefully take Sima on her first real expedition too. I took her to the vet on Tuesday for her second injection, and as such she's now allowed to roam without the fear of infection. This will be great fun or an absolute nightmare! On Sunday I'm popping into the office first thing (an urgent piece is arriving into Matthews Quay for BP I need to deal with) before Carole has another class at Bannatynes. All dependant on weather in chilly Scotland nonetheless...
**Useless fact of the day - When Abby was around she was always top dog, with Isis as the bottom runger. Despite Abby's passing, she stayed at the bottom after Luca came along as he very quickly asserted his dominance over her (and us for that matter). I'm sure she thought with the addition of an eight week old puppy that she'd rise up a stage. Wrong. Sima already bullies the poor wolf, savaging her tail and jumping on her head. We now intend to buy a goldfish in order to give the "guffmonster" a fighting chance...**
