With time on my hands and the knowledge that 2014 is going to be the most AWE-SOME year, I did something that I've wanted to do for years and have been planning for almost as long. I got a puppy!
Meet Tilly.
She's a liver and white cocker spaniel. She's too cute for words, enjoys eating stones (why?) and for such a small thing, she has already bruised my arm, fingers, ear, nose and neck!
Today she learned to bark.
I was at a crossroads. Did I acknowledge the total adorability of the cute little bark by laughing, smiling and treating her like the clever dog she is? Or, in order to make sure barking doesn't become a persistent occurrence, should I put a harsh look on my face, shake my head and give a firm no.
I'm a responsible dog owner so I did the right thing. I looked at her in shock and then started to laugh uncontrollably. I'll decide which path to take the next time she barks at me!
I have to admit that she's exhausting! I'm also currently flaring so to say I'm wabbit is a tiny bit of an understatement. Luckily, not being in the rat race means that I don't have to do my hair, make-up, clothes, shower or any of those other pesky things!!
But welcome to Tilly. She'll be a fab friend

I'm leaving the above in - that was Tilly bouncing onto the keyboard as I typed!!
Good times!
Not good times - wonderful times! K, MN to Tilly too! :oD
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh she is GORGEOUS! I'd love a Cocker Spaniel, got the name picked out and everything! I'm so, so jealous!x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've wanted a puppy for years (and didn't end up going with the name I always thought I would!). It's been a lot harder than I expected but I'm having the time of my life! Life's short - get the puppy!! :D
