MEET.......................OSCAR!

Good evening! It's so lovely to see you all again so soon. I'm keeping my promise to show you my little 'secret'. Okay, I know I gave the game away........I just couldn't keep the secret.  I've been bursting with excitement ever since a phone call that I made last Friday. I had come home early from school, as we had a burst water main and so the children were sent home as there was no water. Mr S and I are both dog lovers and adore our little granddog, Scott. We owned a black labrador many years ago when we were first married. He had to be rehomed with friends when our middle child was born, as she developed very severe asthma, when she was about  a year old. She is now a very healthy 27 year old! I have missed him greatly all that time and always knew that one day we would have another. Now our children are grown and the time is right! Somehow, life isn't complete for me without a dog around.

Just look at him. Isn't he just so adorable!

So, on Sunday we went to visit Scott's breeder to meet an adorable twelve week old yellow labrador puppy. He is very, very lovely and I fell instantly in love with him. He and Scott have the same mum!

 
  So relaxed!

The photos we took on Sunday show him with his breeder.  He is such a sweetie; very playful, very friendly, very bold, very relaxed and very, very affectionate. Oh I'm so excited! He comes to live with us on February 13th. What a lovely Valentine's present!!! We've registered him with the local vet, so he can have his second injection, be mico-chipped and given the 'once-over'. His new bed and bedding have arrived and the five books from the local library have been absorbed.

So gentle!

So playful!

Scott will have to teach him a trick or two and show him how the 'big boys' behave! Hopefully, they'll be best buddies; after all, they are half brothers.

So snuggly!

Just so Oscar!!!!!!!

Be warned.....Snoopydog may well be quite obsessed with this little yellow furball for some time to come! I hope you don't mind him sharing the space with the knitting and crocheting. I'm sure he won't mind! He'll love to meet you all.

Hope you like him :)

Oscar is adorable.
I had my yellow lab Duchess for 14 years and she was the most wonderful companion a human could ever want.
Remember though it will be like having a young child in the home again... chewing, laying in the way, having to go out in the middle of the night. But every thing he could do will never deter his devotion or your dedication.
I for one will look forward to sharing tales and pictures of the adventures of Oscar when he arrives at his new home.

Have you got Victoria Stillwell's book...'It's me or the dog'.
I found it a very good book for training a puppy and beyond.Just pop over to me if you want any tips!!

It will be very lively at your house for good while...LOL! Can't wait to see and hear more about this special chap--so be sure to post and share photos often!
