Some bitter sweet news.

As I said in my last post, I had reserved a chocolate pup for Mark's birthday which was due to be born on Friday 5th September, however, I received an email off of my breeder Jan on Thursday to say that Lucy had had the pups on the Wednesday evening.

She had had 4 bitches, 1 dog and then delivered a still born dog on Thursday morning~:0(

From day one, Jan had said that she had promised first dog pup to a family in the states who had had a lab off her 14 years ago who had sadly died earlier this year, this obviuosly meant that we either had a bitch, or waited for the next litter out of Florence which was due to be sired by Jed's dad, thus giving us a blood brother.

Mark was adamant we should wait for a dog, but I, who has never had a bitch in all of my years of dog ownership, quite fancied having a little girl.

The next day at work we shared about 10 texts each and I finally got my way!!! and Jasmine has been reserved!

I am the only female in our house, so it is going to be great to have another girlie about the place, plus i can't wait to buy some pretty collars!~ she was meant to be for Mark but I think i'll claim her now and get him some spotlamps and a snorkel for his Landrover instead!!

So watch this space, Jasmine is only 3 days old so we have a 7 and a half week wait, hopefully we'll meet her at the half way mark and i'll get some pictures.
