We picked our baby Keira up on Saturday and she is truely scrumptious. The journey up to get her on Friday took us about 7 hours, we got stuck in traffic at Oxford for 2 1/2 hours. The hotel was ok, comfortable and very warm.
Debbie and Paul, the breeders, were lovely people and I felt so guilty taking away one of their babies. The journey back took less time, about five hours. Keira cried most of the way, pausing briefly to have a sleep and a wee. We went straight to see the children, who were most excited to see her. Paul then came home to see Star and give her some fussing and we followed on a little while later.
I'll post again tomorrow with the next installment.

1 week to go
Well where do I start so much has happened this week. My uncle has been diagoned with throat cancer and Paul is to be a great uncle in eight weeks!! Not to mention that Keira will be with is this time next week!!!!!
I think we have nearly everything covered house wise only a few bits left to do. The aged angelfish 'Grandad' is going tomorrow to a new home in Somerset, most of the cables have been tided away and the fencing is also nearly there with just one hole in the fence left to do. The garden looks as if it's beem invaded by the 'tidy people'.
I have booked a hotel stay on Friday night about half an hour away from Keira so we shouldn't have any problems in getting her on Saturday morning. Mum and dad have agreed to have all the children and Star on Friday night but I am at the moment trying to agree with them in leaving on Friday night 6ish - we want to leave about 12ish so we don't have to travel in the dark but they say we should pick the kids up and say goodbye before we leave. No doubt they will win in the end!
I brought Keira's food today Goats milk, Weetabix and Pedigree puppy complete - Robert was most impressed that she will have breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea! I also got the information from the training lady (Tricks for Treats) and hope to send payment next week - £60 for an eight week course, starting on the 6th March.
That's about it for now, probably the next entry will be when she has arrived.
