We're Getting A Puppy!

I totally lost count of how many times I said that out loud to his majesty on Monday after I had telephoned a local lady about her Westie puppies. We went round within an hour of my phoning and got first pick of the litter! There were three boys and two girls but as our dog will be spending lots of time with our neighbours' boy dogs we were advised to get a girl. We picked this one:

Isn't she a sweetie! Our main problem though is what to name her. If she had been a boy then I was obviously going to choose Charlie but now I'm not so sure, though Charlie or Charley can be a shortening of Charlotte. As we find names we particularly like they are being written onto post-it notes and stuck to the large mirror in the living room. The list currently reads thus:

CLEO

RUBY

CHARLIE

CHARLEY

LUCY

FERN

HOPE

His majesty also wants to add LOLA and I quite fancy CASSIE too but we'll see. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly received.

We will pick her up on Friday 27th February! I also took a picture of her with her brothers and sister (she is the one wearing the red collar to show she has been chosen).

Also, for those of you capable of such things here is a (rather dark) video of all the puppies together. The barking in the background was their mum who had been shut out of the room as she is very protective of her puppies.

We had also already been shopping for dishes, leads and toys etc though we will have to look at beds soon. Can't wait!
