Hi Caroline & welcome back!!!
I have only just re-joined myself, and I am pretty sure we must have met at the New Forest meet-ups - we had Bramble who too sadly passed a couple of years ago, so would have been roughly the same age as Fern.
We recently took the decision to have another furry monster in the house, and thought it may be a long wait, but I was contacted by a lady who had someone pull out due to current circumstances, so we are expecting a delivery this Sunday!!! (delivery, as in we have booked a very reputable pet transportation company to delver.....) It is very strange times, as we are doing everything we are not supposed to, but the person we are getting her from has been wonderful and extremely open - lots of face times, photos and videos - with Mum as well as pups..... a whatsapp group for all us excited soon-to-be-new owners, etc, etc!!!
Looking forward to seeing your new pup, and maybe when all this madness is over, we can have another mad new forest meet up?
