Meet Hamish!

Evening all, long time since our last blog entry. No excuses, busy with changing jobs, dealing with unemployment, commuting to London. A pretty unremarkable year's fishing so far, but at long last a blogworthy event. Actually, getting our front garden landscaped, three weeks on holiday in Scotland - these were blogworthy, but this latest event is positively pawsome.

Pawsome event?????

So, without further ado, meet Hamish!

Hellloooo, I'm Hamish!

Yes, a new addition to our family. One border terrier has already brought much fun and joy into our lives, what will a second one do? Hamish will provide the answer to this important question.

"Well, I am not only a posh boy (due to the fact I have a lot of champions in my pedigree!) but a very brave boy too!  I was put in a bag in the back of this big car and then driven away from my birth place.  I admit I did cry a little for about 10 minutes but that wasn't long really!  Ellie just went to sleep and ignored me so I thought I would do the same. 

Once I got to my new home, I had to investigate the garden. I first had a quick word with Ellie just to make sure she was going to be ok with me!



Ello for you, my pal?

I'd heard she was a friendly sort of dog, and she had a lovely garden for me to explore....



I'm in there somewhere! :-)

Investigating the front garden was fun, so many plants to hide under and attack.  It was very difficult for my new Mum to get a decent photo as I am very fast.

Time for a bit of food back in my crate, and then a nap! Ellie kept an eye on me while I was asleep.

Today, Ellie and I have been getting to know each other a lot better. She is being very kind. She seems to be still a puppy at heart herself, which is just as well....

My big pal is a good sport

Phew, I need a wee and all this typing is tiring. Off for a nap now."

I should just mention - before the RSPCA gets all medieval on me - that the bag Hamish refers to is actually more like a luxury, purpose-built doggy car tent.

Tale of the tape - Hamish is seven weeks old. He hasn't had all his shots yet, and he is a little chap, settling in well. He has received a number of visitors already and house training is going well.

Thanks for reading, more soon!
