tacitI've paid my deposit, in 7 weeks I'll have a puppy!
The day was not without its trials. Like, what do you do when you only want one dog and you're confronted with this?!
Fortunately these guys had already been sold:
...so there was no danger of me caving to the cuteness and accidentally taking all nine:
And I only had to choose between these four boys:
I pikced up the little guy in the dark blue and he snuffled around, trying to find something to suckle:
...at which point I fell completely in love. But I thought, No! Give the other guys a chance too! So I put My Puppy back with his brothers:
And picked up thegreedy one former!runt of the litter:
Who tested my resolve by slumping bonelessly on me, and by being unfairly adorable:
Then thegreedy one former!runt started making really pathetic but totally determined squealy noises going 'I can smell you guys eating! But this giant has DOGNAPPED me, and I'm going to STARVE to DEATH in the next TEN SECONDS,' so I put him with his mum:
And then I put the my little guy with them all as well (because his brother had swayed me, he could have starved):
And then the other two unsold brothers as well:
And then I watched them all wriggle around and squeak for a further two hours, but my guy came out on top:
...leaving me with no choice but to put down a deposit on my little buddy in the dark blue.
He weighs 700 grams and his eyes and ears haven't opened yet. He's nine days old and will be ready on July 6th. I fully intend to visit at least a six million times between now and then.
In conclusion: PUPPIES!!
And also after seeing Iron Man (awesome!) and Charlie Bartlett (distinctly average) in the space of a week, I've developed a huge crush on Robert Downey Junior. That is all.
ETA: Wait, no that's not all. I'm open to naming suggestions. Anyone? I don't want a person-name; a verb or something sci-fi/space related would be fun, but something I wouldn't be embarrassed to shout across a park. My shortlist so far: Storm, Sputnik, Echo, Loco, Caper, Link, Gambol. Ideas?
