Puppy love

For years we have talked about getting a dog, but with a garden that was just not big enough and very young children it wasn't practical. So now we've moved house the time is right and the children are old enough to enjoy a dog.. I am delighted to announce a new member of our family. Please meet Bodie.
He is a 13 weeks old rescue from a delightful lady who runs a Golden Retriever rescue centre and he is a cross golden retriever with a flat coat ... and I think he's utterly utterly gorgeous!

  3. Just adorable! We have a dog of a very similar mix - golden retriever cross lab and collie who many people think is a flatcoat. Anyway she is an absolute delight and fabulous with the children and everybody else. Hopeless at guarding the house though!

  4. Getting a dog for my children was the best thing I ever did. He's become a very much loved member of the family who none of us could bear to be without. A constant companion, a great listener, eager playmate and a hilarious source of entertainment. Enjoy xx

  5. Such an adorable puppy. No doubt he will give you all so much happiness and love. Its exciting going through the training process and seeing them learn - also the way they make you laugh when they're naughty too! Feel free to share anecdotes, tips, seek advice or anything doggy related!

  7. Oh Vanessa, you never said yesterday!! How exciting, as you know, I too have a rescue pup who was the same age when we took her home, they are hard work, but sooo worth it, if you need any advice, please ask, I've spent a fortune on training! Love him! xx

If you are reading my blog I must warn you that I am not impartial. I want to influence you. I want to make you stop for just a moment and consider the effect of a lifetime of seemingly insignificant decisions and how making small delicious choices can change the world.

I believe that we can change the world one bite at a time.

It's a delicious revolution.
