Day 258, Year 2 - Pippa's First Day

...at my folks house.

This is Pippa, my mum and dad's new dog. She was 16 weeks old when we picked her up so she was quite a bit older than the normal age I think, for picking up a new dog. She was very, very nervous and unsure for the first couple of days but as I write this, she is very happy in her new home, and a lovely addition to the family.
What a cutie, lovely soft eyes. I think we underestimate how hard it is for dogs to settle into new homes, glad to hear she has settled.

Bless her - they soon learn when people are kind. What breed is she?

@judithg Judith...I was supposed to say what she is in the write up - doh!
She is a Cockerpoo, a spaniel and poodle mix which is becoming very popular now I think. She;s lovely and the mix of breeds is really good.

Yes - we should have gone for a mix - may not have had the neck problems!

My cocker spaniel has degenerative disc disease and had to have a big op for a massive slipped disc in February (I posted the MRIs!). Apparently cocker spaniels have a gene for it (also dachshunds and Rottweilers!). A bit of mixing up he genetics is a good thing. Oh and insurance was a very good thing!

Oh dear. Not great to read that...hope it doesn't get too much worse than already has...!
