The puppy!!!







This is the amazing puppy referred to in the profile, she's a wire -haired dachshund , of standard size and she's completely transformed our lives!
There's less time for crochet or machine embroidery but much more time is spent walking in the lovely local countryside!!!
Wellies are now my daily footwear as well as ''dogwalking trousers and coat'' both dark and easily washed- muddy paw prints from other dogs...- and pockets stuffed with doggie treats to eat, a ball, a clicker, plastic bags,lead, etc etc
A s you can see the girls love it : as well as all the games they now play with the puppy- mostly ''fetch'' and ''tug-of-war'' and lots of cuddles too.
Top left was her at 8 weeks on the day she arrived home.
She's now 5 months old and has almost tripled in size, especially in length of back.
It's the best decision we've nade recently and I have been surprised at the huge changes she's facilitated!
Mind you we're still training her NOT to bite all crochet or run off with a ball of yarn ready to tangle it up into a horrendous mess....
She's also chewed a 12mm knitting needle in half...
Here she is now, I'll have to go she's demanding some attention in terms of a game or a cuddle.
