Squeeee!

We have a dog!!!  Her name is Coco, although her Kennel Club name is Wingbeat Diamond, and she is an eight week old labrador bitch.



So far she has been extremely good and seems to have settled in with us well - she's fast asleep in her dogbed as I type this, and was a good girl when she went to the vets this morning for her first vaccination.  The boys are over the moon that we've got a dog and are being so gentle with her that it's lovely to see.

The only thing we have to get a handle on at this stage is getting her housetrained - we've had lots of accidents so far, but I've worked out that she starts whimpering when she wants to do something, so at least we're getting some warning to get her on the newspaper in time! 

Even Doug, who likes to play the crusty old animal-hater, is taken by her.  Perhaps a bit too taken - at one point last night he said "If I start to turn into your brother, please stop me".
