What have I agreed to?

After years of begging, pleading, and throwing of tantrums I have caved in.  The kids are getting a dog!

What kind of dog I hear you cry, is it a sweet little lap dog that will fit neatly into a pocket?  NO! its a great big Deer Hound Bearded Collie cross which, at 9 weeks old, is already 3 feet tall when standing on it back legs.  In fairness, she is very cute and seems quite calm.

We went to see the puppies last Saturday, so she is reserved and waiting for us to collect her this Saturday.  The little stars wanted to take her there and then but I still refuse to have a dog in the house when they are at school and we are at work, so we had to buy a kennel for the garden before she could come to stay.

Here are the little stars picking the puppy:

The one on the left is the one they chose, the larger one of course


And here a better photo of the puppy the little stars eventually chose:



The excitement in the house is incredible, and the sole topic of conversation is the puppy and what to call her (Holly look to be the favorite at the moment) .  

If I am to be completely honest, I am looking forward to having her in the family too ( but don't tell the little stars, it will ruin my credibility)
