Sorry that I have no bead news for the moment….summer holidays and all that…..but I just wanted to share some exciting family news.

I am just bouncing off the walls!!!! Soon we will have our newest family member home!!!! The puppies are now almost 4 weeks old and are starting to develop their very own little personalities! I get regular updates and photos from the breeder and almost feel a part of the process although the only things I have been able to do so far is shop and mend the fence. Erik and I went out and spent money on a kennel, toys, treats, a little collar and a lead. Yesterday we dug up 4 broken fence posts! I’m telling you it was true manual work! This is the only ‘training’ I have done since our return from Norway and it really feels good to get out and use my ‘muscles’.

We will bring our little ‘Amigo’ home 25 August! We have planned a family trip up and will stop for a couple of days in Windsor and London then spend a couple of days in Carmarthenshire Wales. Although we have neighbors looking after the house while we are gone I have booked our cat ‘Miss Marple’ a.k.a. Pookie in a five start cat hotel. I think it best we get Amigo home and let him settle in for a day before Pooks meets him. I know she will not be best pleased about our newest family member. She is calm after spending a few days in the cat hotel so I hope this will help her to have a more positive outlook on the whole puppy business. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
