Settling in

Morning!

I'm feeling very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and raring-to-go this morning, but Mum and Dad seem to be feeling a bit tired - I don't understand it! 

I had a lovely day yesterday, my first whole day in my new forever home, and I've met lots and lots of new friends. Mum was a bit put out that our first visitor caught her in her scruffiest puppy-handling clothes early yesterday morning, and she said the cottage was much too messy for visitors, but I thought it was really nice to meet a lovely lady from the village who made lots of fuss of me and told me she has two dogs who are waiting to meet me and play with me when I'm a bit bigger. Then we had more visits from people in the village who said they had been waiting to meet me, and wasn't I big? And then lots and lots of family people came and made a lot of fuss of me too! I've got lots of big brothers and sisters, but I don't think they can really be my brothers and sisters cos they're human. But that's what Mum said they are so I'll humour her. 

They were all surprised to see how big I am too! And they're all much friendlier than the cats!

This is one of the cats sneaking up on me when I was having a snooze!

She never comes this close when I'm awake!

Dad and Molly put some chicken wire over the fence at the end of the garden yesterday, so I can't get out and chase the sheep and the little lambs out there. 

I'm not bothered; I'll soon dig underneath that! I've already had a little practice at digging and tried eating some of the things growing out there but Mum and Dad don't seem to want me to do that!

Mum has told me about all of you lovely new friends in Blogland, and she says you have all been saying really nice things to me. She's read them all out to me (I can't read them myself, but I'm sure I'll be able to when I'm bigger!) and we're going to visit all the blogs of all my new friends as soon as Mum gets time (she says she is very busy cos she has to give me lots of cuddles and takes me out in the garden a million times a day to do my poos and wees). 

Today Mum says we have to go somewhere called the Vet. I expect that will be someone else making a lot of fuss of me and giving me cuddles too! I hope so. We have to go in the bumpy-ride car again. I don't want to but Mum says I have to get used to it!

Oh well, I'd better have a bit of a nap first I suppose...

Zzzzzzzzzzz...
