She's born

Our new baby has been born, two weeks ago. We have paid a deposit to reserve her and are due to go and collect her on the 9th February. She is a chocolate and cream miniature. Now the busy time begins with sorting out the house and garden, making sure that there are no holes in the fencing that she could squeeze through and tidying cables in the house so that she can't chew them.
The other important decision to be made is her name - we have a short list which appears to be getting longer!!!! Only time will tell.
Sleeping is a big problem for me at the moment and I was awake and downstairs at 4am. With hubbie snoring LOUDLY and the excitement of christmas and getting a puppy I don't have a hope. Perhaps I should resort to the whiskey bottle again.

In the beginning

Well we have finally decided to get another dog, after two years of deciding. We already have a dog, she is eight and could do with a playmate. In choosing a pup we have concidered many things, the impact on family life (a son with allergies), time, money, size of dog and temperament of the dog we want.
Having spoken to many people we have made a decision to go with a very nice breeder, who we met last week. She is lovely very down to earth and loves her dogs, and her other animals like her children. She has been breeding poodles for many years but has just recently cross breed a Border Terrier Toy Poodle and was amazed with the results.
After seeing her poodle pups we immediately fell in love with the mum poodle and her son but he already has a home : ( We have put our name on the list for the Doodle pup, which will hopefully be born on the 7th January 2008.
Anyway, enough for now wil post as soon as there is any more news.
