We have a little Cavalier King Charles spaniel, who is about 2 years old and she is adorable! She is a rescue dog that we have had since she was about 5  months old and is totally part of our family now. Mr Grump  spoils her rotten and she in turn, adores him. Wherever he goes, she trots on behind him,and it is very sweet to see them both snuggled up in the armchair together…

Even Miss Hap has grown to love her…at first she was a little jealous of the attention the dog got, but that soon passed, and she has even been known to take the dog out for walks now and again, as well as play games with her out in the garden.

A few days ago, my friends’ golden labrador gave birth to a litter of 8 puppies, and I was desperate to go and see them. Mr Grump had already beaten me to it, and said they were gorgeous, so Friday evening we piled around to have a look….Oh they were so beautiful… as the lab was crossed with a retriever, the pups were varying in colours from golden to ginger.

The nagging started as soon as I got home.. I wanted to have one of the puppies when they were ready to be homed, but Mr Grump was not to be persuaded! We had already discussed getting another dog from the rescue centre as a companion for our little dog, plus we felt that we could give one more dog a loving home ,but on a practical level, we could only have another small dog…they are cute though ….
