the patter of tiny paws

Tiger is now among us :) We picked him up on Saturday morning and have been having a lovely time ever since. He's a big old softy and seems to be settling in really well. He's got an odd habit of taking our slippers into his bed and sleeping on them, but since they're not getting chewed or overly drooled on this isn't a problem :)

Tiger Hopwood

This is Tiger. All being well with the home check this friday we'll be picking him up from the Brighton Retired Greyhound Trust on Saturday. He's a gorgeous three-year old dog with real tiger stripes and dark ears with little snowflakes all over them. I hope he'll be really happy with us :)

Dog days

After months of research and hard thinking, we're finally off to the Brighton Greyhound Trust next week to start looking for a pooch. Fingers crossed they like us and the home check goes OK.

Happy Christmas/New Year

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. Christmas was mostly great at our end, but New Year was a wash out thanks to the dreaded lurgy. Saw the Phantom of the Opera last week which was great - I loved all the sets and effects. Unfortunately, last week also saw the demise of one of the Gerbils - Jerry - an unexpected loss since he was usualy the liveliest and most active of the three. Fortunately the other two seem fine. Hopefully that will be the last of the bad luck for this year and we're on the up again. Wish us luck :)
