Raising a Puppy

Hi Munchkins,

Today, Luna is officially 6 months old. It seems like only yesterday that we picked her up as a 6 week old puppy. How time flies! 

Throughout this journey of being a 'parent' to this mischievous little ball of fluff (Yes, I used the term parent as that is exactly what its like raising this dog.). I have come to realise that puppies are very much like toddlers. They misbehave, cry and whine at your bedroom door at 4am in the morning begging for attention.

Raising Luna has had its ups and downs. Although this is nothing compared to raising a child, their are some similarities.One of the classic examples is telling child 'no'. How can you possibly say no to those big, brown round eyes? Exactly, you can't and she knows this too. She walked into the study on one of the first days we got her and began to chew the boxes on the floor. Instead of telling her in a stern tone 'no' my mum decided to allow her to chew the boxes as she didn't need them anyway. "It's okay" she would say. Now she chews everything her little heart desires. First the boxes,then my shoes and recently the knob of one of the desk draws.

As I write this post, she is currently rolling around on my newly made bed. Not only that but she is soaking wet from jumping into the pool, so now I currently smell like wet dog. Do I forgive her? Of course! Her beckoning brown eyes tell me too.

Thats another thing. With her adorable head tilt and chocolate eyes its almost like she is telling me what to do. If only I could do that!

Anyway, here are some pictures of 6 month old Luna. I hope you all enjoyed.
Do any of you have dogs?

Meet Luna

The day has finally come. A couple of weeks ago, my family got the news that we were going to be given a little puppy. Nervous and excited, we began to 'puppy proof'' the house. Hiding shoes, cleaning the floors and buying plenty of chew toys, we began to think we were ready for another dog. We have raised a puppy before so we knew what we expecting... or did we? It had been 10 years since the last puppy and it is amazing what you forget. The poo's in the house, the sharp little teeth and constant need for cuddles are just to name a few. 

Picking her up for the first time was bittersweet. Her fur felt soft, her were little teeth sharp and ready to chew and her beautiful, gorgeous face.  Her playful antics also remind us of our previous dog Hermione. Unfortunately we hadn't escaped those cheeky aspects. So far she has attempted to chew my onesie and my last pair of ballet flats. Although she is quite mischievous and naughty sometimes, I couldn't imagine my life without her.

In saying that, I thought I would share some pictures with you all. Do you have a dog? If so, what breed?


Hopefully you all have a lovely day,

My Little Puppy

Recently, our beloved family dog Hermione passed away. Named after my favourite Harry Potter character, she the most beautiful, adorable thing. Since her death we have been longing for that comforting feeling when she was around. Although we know deep down in our hearts that we can never get her back, we decided to get another female Spoodle. We have a male Spoodle as well, but since Hermione's passing, he has been longing for a friend. With this said, we believe that this was a good decision.

Four months later, we got a call from a lovely lady who told us she breeding Spoodles and put us on the waiting list. The wait had been anxious, we had been told that if anything were to happen we would be one of the first to know. The weeks went by and our impatience grew. We had no idea if the dog was pregnant and because we hadn't heard anything. As time went on, we assumed she wasn't and we were beginning to think we would have to wait until next year to have another Spoodle in our lives.

Last week, we received a call from the breeder who told us the dog had just had her puppies. I think we were all bouncing for joy when we got the news. We got to choose our little girl and we get to pick her up in 2-3 weeks time.

Here is a photo of the newest member of our family:

So here begs the question: How many of you have dogs? If so, what breed?

I don't' think I can live without my little Spoodle as they are the most attention seeking, lovable and loyal dogs. I'll keep posting pictures of this little one as the weeks go by. I hope you are all as exciting as I am!

P.S. If any of you were wondering what this little ones name is, it's Luna. Keeping the Harry Potter theme alive we decided to name her after Luna Lovegood. Hopefully she lives up to her name! :D
