I balded my dog!

I was recently back in the burgh for a job interview at Loretto (didn't get it - didn't want it anyway!) and I decided to kill two birds with one stone and take the dog to the groomers to get clipped. It needed to be done but it did turn out a bit shorter than I'd expected.

So she went from fluffy shaggy heap...

To a lean mean fuzz machine...

Turns out there's actually legs under all that hair - who knew! She does look odd though - still not quite used to it - especially coz her head is still relatively fluffy, so it just looks a peerie bit big for her body!

She is still cute tho...

Puppy vs Cat...

Hmmm....Fonz is not quite as thrilled about the whole 'puppy' thing as I seem to be. So far today we have at least managed to get her down stairs, but all she's really done so far is sit in the kitchen and glare at the puppy.

Fortuately puppy is pegged out fast asleep in the middle of the living room floor, but it may all get a bit interesting when Peerie wakes up...

Puppy!

The Puppy is here! At the moment the name is Peerie Mootie (translates from Shetlan' as Little Small!) but that may change over the weekend if I decide it doesn't suit her. We shall see.

Anyway, she's adorable. I think she's feeling a little bit lost without her mum, dad, or brother, but I'm sure she'll settle in. The cat is currently ignoring her - which is preferable to her trying to kill the wee thing! We shall see how that goes.

And now for the important bit...photos!

So Exciting!!!!!!!!

I'm getting a puppy!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited. I went to meet the pup (and her parents & breeders) today and she is just too cute! I did the sensible thing - I went home and thought about it without having the little ball of fluff sitting there trying to seduce me, and I did decide that I really did want her. She's just adorable.

She's a shih tzu, she's 10 weeks old on Tuesday and I'm bringing her home on Friday. (She's really small, so she didn't get her first jabs with the rest of her littermates and is getting the first ones on Wednesday.)

She is so so adorable. So now I need to think of a name for her...the breeders have been calling her Honey, but...I'm not overly enamoured of 'Honey'...not sure what I'll call her...I'm quite attached to Doodlebug for some unknown reason, but that sort of seems like more of a boy's name...

Photos and overly excited updates of her every move will no doubt follow in time. I'm so excited!
