Trojan was truly irreplaceable...and yet I couldn't have that emptiness in my house so we did go ahead and get another dog.
Trojan gave us such life and warmth and we knew that we could give another a wonderful home and all though we didn't want to replace him we did want to honour him the only way we knew how.
After Tro we thought long and hard about what would be best for us as a family in the long run with whether we should rescue or go for a puppy and also with what breed we should have...research told us what breeds could suffer with spleen issues and after having had to deal with this and also a friend dealing with this in the last week it made us think about breeds a lot more.
Anyway...we did make a decision and so I would like to introduce you all to our newest family member....

ReplyDeleteThanks ann.
DeleteHi Polly, Tanya she is gorgeous. My brother has a springer spaniel and they are such a loyal and lively breed. I'm glad she is settling in well for you all x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, Polly has settled very quickly and we are truly delighted with her nature.
DeleteSpringer by name and by nature eh?
ReplyDeleteShe's certainly that Sue...lol
DeleteAww, she's a beauty. I love spaniels. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThanks tpals....I'm sure you'll be seeing lots more of her.
DeleteIt's always hard to lose a good dog. Dogs have always been my favorite animal. A new one can never quite replace the old one, but the new one can be a wonder all on its own.
ReplyDeleteThanks ratty, we were never aiming to replace Tro, he was truly unique and this is one of the reasons we went for a totally different breed. I would hate to think that I may be comparing a new addition to a past one. Polly has just as much character as Tro and a few similar traits but is an individual in the making!!
