Aw thanks for the lovely friendly welcome one and all. It's now only two sleeps till I get the pup...not that I, sleeping much, too excited! Guess I should be trying hard to get my sleep while I can though eh?
Elaine- no definite name yet but two two highest on the short list are: Meadow (after Meadow Soprano in The Soprano tv series) and Jura (after the Scottish Island and whisky. My mum named her two dockers after Scottish islands, Harris and Isla so I thought it would be nice to follow suit). Anyway we've decided to wait till we see her again and see what suits best. I've only seen her once as we re in the North East and are travelling up to Scotland to collect her.
She's a Lynwater pup so saying as I've heard such good things about their dogs (and my mum had a lovely one) I'm hoping the waiting will be worth it. The only thing I'm a bit wary of is the fact she's a kennel pup so hasn't been brought up in a household with as much socialisation so far so I'm going to concentrate on that when I get her home.
