Waiting for Florence....

Things are becoming tense & excitable in the Moo household. You see, changes are underfoot. There is a stirring of anticipated happiness on the horizon, just around the corner. Thoughts of what will happen, how will things change? Will I cope with the sleepless nights...will I be able to handle a 3rd little being in my care? Are we ready as a family to accept a 3rd little mouth to feed & do I have the patience & energy for another little one?
You see, it is exactly one week today that Florence, our 8 week old Beagle puppy will come to start her new life with us. I am just so VERY excited & have been waiting for her for weeks following a long search for the right dog since March!

I really never imagined that hubby would agree to us having a dog. I have been a dog lover all of my life & worked in kennels when I was younger. We always had dogs at home though this will be my first since leaving home 12 years ago.

Florence comes from a line of Crufts champs so who knows where we may adventure together? This is her handsome daddy...

I will try not to bore you all with these canine capers too much. Do bare with me & I will try to calm down about it all! I'm not too sure what our little Muffin will make of our new little hound though!

HOW EXCITING!!!

My daughter is reading your post over my shoulder and squealing at your lovely piccies!

As a huge doggie lover too, (our family wouldn't be complete without our mad spaniel Bertie Boo), I'm so thrilled for you.

Do post piccies of Florence when she arrives.

Very exciting - and, obviously, very cute. Friends of ours had a bull mastif pup last summer. She's beautiful and was a very cute puppy. The 'chew everything stage' was a bit of a nightmare with sports sandals on through the summer!

What a lovely name! I can't wait to move out of home and FINALLY be able to get a dog (my dog will not be as lucky as yours, name-wise...I plan to call it Moose haha) - I keep sighing over pictures of puppies...one day :)

How exciting, lovely for the children. We had a dog when I was a child, such lovely memories of him now.

Aw, congrats on your new addition, can't wait to see the pictures! And I LOVE the name Florence... I had an immunology professor named Florence so it's hard for me to picture it on a puppy, but I think it'll be cute! She pronounced it the French way, in any case.
