Family addition

WE have a new member of our family!
We have spent a lot of time lately looking into dog breeds, chatting with people, checking out dogs and today we found our new family member. This dog was going to be a present from Mum for the kids and we had looked into Cavalier King Charles Spaniels as they are mum's favourite dog but with my allergies and sinus issues it was not possible so we looked at non-allergenic dogs like poodles. We had hoped to get a cavoodle but they are not easy to find - then today I was walking past the pet store and these pups had arrived today!

When I got there they had only 2 left and this little boy was ours on the spot. I raced home and got the kids and we went back in to the shop where the kids instantly decided this was the one. Talk about timing. No sooner had we said we would take him and placed a deposit but a friend we know walked in to look at the dogs. She fell in love with our little fella - sorry Andrea but I am glad we got in first! As we left she was looking at his sister so I am not sure if she ended up taking the last puppy or not.

Tony and the kids pick him up tomorrow. Now the hard bit...... what do we name him?

We have spent lots of time tonight discussing names and still haven't come to an agreement.... some possibles:

Spike (he has the same markings as the gremlin)

Buddy

Brutus (yes that is Kyle being ironic)

Murphy

Hercules

and from Tony........ yep Simone you guessed it.... Mutt!
