Princess

Princess is growing day by day. She will be 5 months old on 29th May. Here she is with her favourite teddy and having an afternoon nap. Since seeing the movie Marley and me, she of course now gets called Marley when she is naughty.

Princess Puppy

Princess is growing so quickly now - she's such a treasure but a very naughty biter - she will bite my arms and feet and clothes and I have tried everything I can think of and so far to no avail.

Found this great digital stamp yesterday by Raindrop Echo Designs that I thought captured Princess perfectly.

Puppy Shower

Well I had heard of Baby Showers but my card class girls gave me a Puppy shower last month on the day I was due to go and fetch Princess. Debbie had baked biscuits in the shape of dogs bones complete with pink glitter icing and Helen had organized a chocolate brownie cake decorated with little dogs and chocolate words like pooch. I got lots of fabulous presents from everyone for Princess. She was spoilt rotten.

Here are some of the cards that I received - Dog bone shape card from Helen, Woof words from Debbie Luker, Princess word charm and hearts from Joyce and even Tilly in New Zealand sent a gorgeous card with dog and word princess in the frame. I also got some lovely other cards to welcome Princess and of course she had to admire them all the next day .

Princess's first day

Princess arrived safe and sound on Saturday afternoon and wow has she grown in the past 5 weeks. She was born on 29 December so she is exactly 7 weeks old today. She is just so adorable and already has her own fan club of people coming to visit her. Helen was her first visitor (see picture above)

I can see this little one is going to change my life. At the moment she plays like mad for about an hour and tries to chew everything in sight and then she flops down and does her sleeping beauty impression for an hour.

New Baby Announcement

Well I finally found my "Princess". She was born on 29 Dec 2009 and is coming home on 13 Feb when she is 6 1/2 weeks old. She is a Golden Retriever puppy.

Her mother pictured here is pure Golden Retriever and her father is 50 percent Golden Retriever and 50 percent Hovawarts (pictured here with an older puppy)

Met Princess on Saturday for the first time and she is so tiny and hasn't got her eyes open yet but sucked on my arm and my sunglasses.

I think my life is about to change radically - no more just picking up and looking after Mum but now will have an adorable puppy to care for as well.


I am so excited and can't wait for her to come home.
