So you may know that my parents decided to go forward with the idea of getting a dog from the blog post I wrote back in June.
Tuesday 9th August was the date we got to go up to our breeder's home (who was absolutely amazing btw!), early morning to collect Bobbie. I'm not sure if I've said before but we settled with the name Bobbie in the end.
Mum has been the most excited for this day for absolutely ages and everyday on our two week holiday in the Netherlands she would check Facebook to see if there were any updates about our pup.
When the day finally arrived we all got into the car to drive the 1 hour 30 minutes to our breeder's house to return with Bobbie. It was a very weird day, as it still hadn't felt like we were actually getting a puppy but once we got her in our car it finally felt real!
Once we got Bobbie home we let her out in the garden and let her have a sniff around the living room. As we also have two cats we were careful not to introduce them to each other too early.
We had my Nan, Bompie (aka Grandad) and Aunt round in the afternoon so Bobbie could socialise with more of the family. The next day my Aunt bought her 8/9 month year old miniature dachshund round which could have gone either way, bad or good. I am pleased to say that it went amazingly well - they both got along so we are going to keep doing it on a more regular basis.

Here's some photos I took of her playing in the garden for one of the first times!
So Bobbie has settled in fairly well the past couple of days, she has encountered our cats, had a couple of car journeys and has seen her 'cousin' puppy! She is very intrigued with the new and loves a good sniff and look around a new area.
