You Know You're A Dog-Lover When...

...even your own dad knows you're wake-up-at-a-silly-time excited about picking up your pup. Was woken up at just before 6am today by a long-distance text from my Dad giving me a wake-up 'call' hehe...

So we are most knackered...4 hours drive to Wales at the end of a long week, after work. 6am wake-up for a 9am pick-up and another 4 hours drive back home.

The day's been spent rejoicing every time she's peed outside (and the most ecstatic I'll probably ever get about a creature crapping in my back garden) and slightly less rejoiceful when she pood in her crate when we attempted to shut her in for the first time as a training practice. We giggled as she licked her bowl clean and then proceeded to stand in her bowl to better angle herself to lick the bowl even more. We stifled giggles at her funny squeaky snores, so as to not wake her and spoil our fun. Her favourite finds in the garden seem to be any sort of dried leaves, and the petals of any pink flowers she can get to. We gasped in horror as she ran into the patio window with a "bonk!" and then giggled as she appeared to try to stare it down (and look a bit bewildered at the same time). BIG kisses on her noggin.

Now to SLEEP! For we are new to this pug-parenting thing and it's been an action-packed day. Time for us to rest as peacefully as our new little one is right now amongst her many bed-toys!
