Falling in love again
No, I haven't suddenly decided upon a Technical Advisor upgrade but there is a new man in my life.
It is almost a year since we lost our sweet, Springer Spaniel, Teal. We simply couldn't imagine getting another dog for some months, we still had Oakley, our ageing English Setter so we were not dog-less, thank goodness. But in the last few months the tide began to gently turn. Pressure was building, some people (i.e. those family members who do not clean the house) kept mentioning puppies.
I am very much afraid I put my foot down on the puppy front, they tried to wear me down, at one point the children emptied out there money boxes and offered to pool their resources. But I still said no.
I was a mean Mummy. But we really did want another dog.
So we began to ring around and we got lucky.
Oh so very, very lucky.
This is Zak, he was destined for a working life on the moors, striding out in search of grouse.
But he is not so interested in the working life, he did not want to stride out, he wanted to hang around his master.
So now he hangs around us. We went to meet him the weekend before last and it was love at first sight, he came straight home with us. I think he rather likes his new life.

So nice to rescue an animal, no matter what the circumstances. Those kids can certainly wear one down, can't they?
