oh my goodness!!! I keep getting waves of pure joy and excitement over the thought that we will have Murphy before Christmas. I just want him now.... I know I know I sound like a brat but this has been a long time coming. I have grown up with the family dogs, so having a dog mooching around the house, going for walks and everything else dog related is second nature. Before we even got married my husband and I knew we would have a dog eventually. So when we finally settled in Scotland (over a year) perfect area and loads of walking spots I started suggesting that we could get a dog. My husband was uming and ahhing until yesterday I showed him a picture of Murphy and he was powerless to resist!!
and men think they wear the trousers My hubby was adamant that no way we were getting another dog. Rosie is pictured in my avatar and she really is a daddy's little girl x
Looking at that bundle of fluff I’m not surprised you are excited I’m looking forward to hearing all about his antics Philippa
He looks absolutely adorable!!! I know what it’s like to wait once you’ve picked your pup. I waited 11 weeks from when I picked Katie Mae, the smaller dog in my profile pic, until she could come here.. But I at least already had another dog... I have found that toys by “ruff & tuff” last really well. I have one that’s been lovingly chewed on for about 20 months, and now they even survive tug-o-war between the 2 dogs. Also ropes with knots are good. Mine like tennis balls too. They will pick it up and drop it and kick it so they can chase it, if I’m not throwing it for them outside or bouncing it off the floor inside. I get them 3 for a dollar at the used sporting goods store. Kong’s are always good too and last well. Periodically I toss the toys in with some laundry and the come out looking almost new!!
