Today we picked up our new family member, a Springadoor that is yet to be named.
Having seen an advert in the paper for the puppies the wife subjected me to no end of questions relating to the logistics of going to see and get a puppy. They were questions that she could of easily answered if she had the `Make a decision` plugin installed! FFS
After arranging to go see the puppies we drive and meet the breeder. The puppies were in a big kennel with each other, 5 in total. The 2 that were for sale were picked out and given to us – a boy and a girl.
They were running around with mum and dad, who had now been let in with us, not at all bothered that 4 strangers were in with them. Our youngest was sat on the floor playing with them when one of the puppies came up to him, sat next to him and put its head on his leg. At that point the decision to a) have one and b) which one would we have, was made for us.
I reluctantly handed over my hard saved money in return for the puppy. Not only was it the money that I was putting towards my Surface RT tablet but it was also not the first time I have given money for a puppy!!!
The kids, and more importantly (so im told), the wife were beyond happy.
As part of the `deal` of us getting another dog, it is down to me to choose a name for her.
I formulated a few in my mind and suggested it as we drove home. The name Shurd being the one that I liked the most, and of course one that no one else did!
There is no rush to name her yet, well as far as I’m concerned anyway but the wife, the kids, the family and the in-laws don’t however agree with me.
Here she is …
