Our household grew today when a 16th month old black Labrador called Bonny came to live with us. Bonny (not our spelling!) belongs to a fantastic organisation called Dogs for the Disabled and is to be one of their brood bitches, having puppies to provide the next generation of support dogs.
She’s still young and playful with bags of energy and though she’s probably wondering why she’s moved house is clearly happy to be here.
The highlight for Bonny has probably been the stream (if we keep talking it up like this we’ll be able to sell fishing rights soon… it’s really just a ditch) which stinks. We rubbed her down well when she came in but failed to close the door properly so she was able to dry off nicely on the cream sofas.
The lowlight was probably falling into the pool, which she really didn’t enjoy, but handled well. She was able walk back along the plastic cover until she reached Ian who was able to help her out to a soggy reunion. With luck she’ll have learnt her lesson about swimming.
Of course the real fun will start next spring when she should have her first litter.
