And then there were 5....

We thought our lives were complete when we brought home two little balls of fluff, namely our rats, Einstein and Freud. But then came 28th September 2013, when we picked up the little ball of fluff (and very, very sharp teeth!) Scout, the 7 week old springer spaniel puppy.

Like any doting (fur) mother, I have to 
share these gorgeous photos with you.

On the way home with Daddy.

Visiting his neighbours who absolutely loved him.

So, I sleep here, and you sleep on the floor? Yes?

Apparently every flower in the garden is for eating...

Attention ME!

Until I fall asleep.

Momma tastes better than any chewtoy, it seems.

First bath!

So far, he's been pretty good. For a puppy, anyway! 

Establishing a routine is easy, but sticking to it is much, much harder.

Do any of you guys have pups? Have you raised them?

Advice is always appreciated! Although we had Kip for 8 years, we got him at 6 months and he was easy to train then, even though he had some bad habits. I hope that once Scout matures a little in a few months he'll become a strong, confident dog and we can really train him to his full potential.

But until then, I'm happy to be his favourite chew toy, and Woody his favourite nap spot. :)

This is your world, little man.
