We have a new puppy.


Her name is Milo and she is six weeks old and needed a home.

The kids are ecstatic.

The dog is suspicious.

The cat is cross.

I am presumably insane.

Milo is currently asleep with a hot water bottle on an enormous new bed in the scullery. Both girls donated their hot water bottles for the night. She is a lovely mixture dog, optimistically described by the vet on her certificate as rotti-cross. While she has that sort of colouring, she is probably going to be only medium-sized when fully grown. Her mother appears to be a dalmation-cross, smaller than a dalmation but with similar markings.

There are a few more photos here.
