Our new addition

it was a very exciting day for my family today as the day had finally arrived when we could pick up our new puppy.

We bought him 10 days ago but he was only allowed home today after having his first vaccination and being microchipped.

I have grown up with dogs all of my life and so has my husband but we have never had a dog of our own. Our children have been pestering us for years but the time wasn’t right until now.

I wanted a spaniel and my husband wanted a boxer but we finally managed to agree on a Beagle. We did a lot of research before we bought him as we wanted to make sure he would be right for our family and most importantly that he would be good with our children.

They have a lovely character and a fun personality which is what I wanted although apparently they are very strong willed and difficult to train off the lead.

If he starts destroying our house and proves difficult to train i am sure we will invest in dog training seesions but until then we will try and do this our own way.

I am just hoping he settles in and we don’t have too many sleepless nights !!
