Doggy update

So, we got the news today that the people that got to Lulu first decided to take her. They adored her apparently, and wanted her as company for their Labradoodle. We were a bit gutted, but it's probably our fault for getting too attached too soon. Ah well.

Aaaanyway, as it turns out, Kristy (fellow Dr and friend) saw an ad in the paper today for chocolate lab puppies. We can't really have a proper puppy, but just below that was an ad from a family selling a 10 month old pedigree black labrador. They have two dogs and are finding it too hard to look after both of them and their two little kids. My Mum would say it was fate!

We went to meet them and the dog, who is called Bella and she's gorgeous. She sits a bit wonky, and loves water (she was playing in the sprinkler when we got there). A right muppet! As a pure lab, she might be a bit more chewy than Lulu would have been, but that's fine.

We're going to pick her up tomorrow before we go down to Newcastle. That means Matt will be staying in Newcastle with Bella for the week and I'll come back to Tamworth on my own. It's only for a week, so it's not too bad, and if it means we can have Bella, it's cool.
