Pippa

We've been planning a new addition to the canine contingent of the family for some while, but it has all happened a bit more quickly than I had expected.  An evening's speculative searching on t'internet, followed by an exchange of text messages and then a visit this afternoon to the happy home where this little bundle was born, and suddenly Pippa has become our newest family member, or at least she will be in four weeks time when she is ready to leave her mum.  Pippa is the product of an illicit union between a Border Collie and the boy next door, a golden Labrador.  We don't yet know what we are going to do about holidays, we will need to do some work to secure the garden, and I feel a little nervous of the Labrador streak only having ever had Border Collies before...  But all of this can be overcome, and we are all very excited about the turn of events in the last 24 hours.  Welcome to the mad house Pippa Burgess!
