REMEMBER BACK

when Casper arrived in February and I realised his name was one of the three kings?

Remember how I said it would be great to have the other two then, Balthazar and Melchoir?

Well alas Paul won't let me call him Balthazar . so we're calling him Rufus !


He's had a long journey and it was quite hot half way home, so now he's having a rest in the shade.


Casper is so happy to have a little bro! How did we come to have this new golden retriever puppy?

Because I came home from work around seven weeks ago for Paul to hand me an Ipad showing some Golden R puppies available in Devon !

He said  " He needs a friend... he's been trying to play with the cats but they don't want to play rough and tumble ! So he sighs and puts his head on his paws!"

My reply was that I was not going to Devon, another journey of about four hours , like the one when we collected Casper.

So I checked the listings of the goldens and showed him one I'd shown him before, of a new litter of  dark goldens, the colour he'd wanted before we'd spotted Casper's photo. They were only just over a week old and around a 2 hour drive away.
So that's now come we have just been and collected Rufus.


Where's my little Westie I hear you ask..... well since we won't be getting the three kings....
I doubt i'll get my Westie,... Such a shame I can just hear us called the dogs back across the fields... Casper! Rufus! Bob! ;)

  3. Hoping that it's not going to be all 'Double-trouble?'
    Will Rufus become YOUR dog?

    1. Me too! It does not matter whose dog they are , they all become Paul's dog in the end! He's like Dr Dolittle! Even Archie was Paul's dog, he never wanted to go home when Lauren came for him, he'd go sit by Paul and pretend to be deaf! lol

  6. Awww isn't he gorgeous and looks like he's settling in with his big brother already. Congratulations on his safe arrival Dee (and Paul too of course!), one dog is lovely but two dogs (or in my case, FIVE) is better as dogs really are pack animals and they love company :)

    1. Thanks :) He and Casper are getting along really well. I agree you need at least two dogs, so they have company and feel more of a pack :) xx
