Well what can I say... ;D We picked up Orla a week and a half ago and it already feels like she's always been here. Orla has fitted in to our family beautifully and has been coming out of her shell over the past week and getting braver day by day Lisa's choice of name was ideal though and she was quite right when she said the little minx liked "Orla the bed, Orla the food and Orla the toys!!!" She has become Smudge's shadow and it is lovely to see them racing round the garden together and then curling up together for a sleep afterwards. Smudge has accepted her totally and they have many moments of madness together. He seems to have grown up a little himself and is far less needy of my attention in particular. He has another woman in his life now and boy does he know it I have been reading the necessary info about uploading some pics and once I finsh work for Easter I will get some pics posted for all to see.

Just a quick update on Orla....she really has settled well In between the long sleeps and the countless rounds of boxing she does with Smudge, Orla has discovered a new talent Whilst we were doing some planting in the front garden Orla decided she would do a little rearrangement of said plants In addition to her gardening talents she decided to check the foundations of the lawn....possibly looking for moles!!! We certainly looked like we had some by the time she had finished Poor Smudge sat with a look of horror on his face assuming he would be the one to get blamed However he was not the one with tell tale soil all over his face and paws. We still love her to bits ;D just need to teach her to dig up the weeds!!

All is well with Orla and Smudge This week Orla has had some real "puppy moments" like when she chewed not one but two pairs of my shoes ,oh and the the wire on my son's playstation controller It certainly wasn't done out of boredom or loneliness just cheek and devilment I think because after all we did leave the items lying on the dog shelf ie, the floor. Orla is off to the V E T on Tuesday(little does she know ) to have her plumbing fixed. Good enough excuse for me to have the rest of the week off work to supervise her recovery . We all feel a little bit anxious for her but it will soon be over and no doubt she will be back to mischief in no time.

Orla is as sweet as ever ;D. She has had two wobbly leg episodes recently,on Saturday at her first obedience class the sight of all those people and their dogs caused her legs to fail. After 20 mins she plucked up courage to join in and then boy did she show them how it was done The next was on Tuesday, spay day (the VET and her staff fell in love with her, it was a struggle to get her back that evening!) She is making a good recovery and is being fussed and loved by everyone ;D ;D ;D ;D She and Smudge are so well suited to each other...it really is a delight to have them both

Glad she's doing so well and that the op wasn't too stressful. Hope she's fully back up to speed soon and sending hugs to the cheeky little Minx. xx
