A new addition

Firstly I would like to thank all of those who sent me condolences on Tro...it was a hard time, hence my absence and I am really grateful for your kind words.

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....

Polly The Springer Spaniel.
Polly has been with us a week now and is settling in well, being spoilt rotten by the Hubby and loved by all. I know Trojan would have adored her and I am happy that we are again giving a wonderful environment for such a beautiful girl. We went the Puppy route and she is just 16 weeks old but a very quick learner. I shall hopefully catch up with you all over the next week and also get to writing some posts again. Take care...for now  shall just leave you with these....

mental moment

contentment.
Hope you are all well.

  5. It'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.

    1. Thanks 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!!
