As some of you know the children have been asking for a dog for quite some time now, well after using every excuse in the book I finally sucummed to having a look around the shelters.
I told the kids that we were just going to look, and that I was in NO WAY getting a dog until May at the earliest..well we went to one shelter where Jenna was saying that she would like to take them all home and Sam was having to be dragged away from each cage. Most of the dogs were Staffs there, so it was a no no as Jennas ashtma could be made worse with the Staffs hair. I then drove to another shelter in Ascot, at this place you are interviewed and if she thinks that she has something suitable she will bring them out to you.
After a chat she said she may have something, well a 7 week old collie/spaniel cross was brought out to see us, after me warning the kids I was the worst, I got down on the floor to have a cuddle with him, he then piddled on me :wah:
He has a beautiful face and while he was climbing over Sam and looking over to Jenna, the lady was telling me that they had been abandened, he was left with his brothers, the person that found them took them to the Rescue Centre. Well, that was it "We'll have him" I heard myself saying, the kids faces were a picture, after me warning and moaning at them I was the worst one!:o
So I paid for him and arranged to collect him tomorrow after Sams football match, this afternoon we have brought his bed, blanket, bowls, stairgate, food, shampoo, collar, lead, registered him at the vets, booked his Jabs, taken out insurance, pheww, I think we are ready :wah:
So we were going through some names and have decided on 'Alfie' I will post pictures tomorrow or Sunday. I may be asking for some advice guys and I may bore you to death with tales of my baby!
