Hello you lovely lot! So sorry I haven't been on for a few days - had other hectic stuff going on with family etc...
I must say a huge and heartfelt thank you to Lettie10 for sending me the puppy pen. We tried it for the first time last night and she settled very quickly. She did manage to shred and destroy the puppy pads we put down for her, and she wee'd and poo'd all over the shredded mess.... But her bed remained clean, so I guess that's the positive I need to focus on (a blanket that we can keep and use again whoop whoop!!!)
Lettie10 it was so very kind and generous of you to do that for me and I won't forget your kindness. I have to say, if this is what Cocker People are generally like, then I have definitely made the right choice of breed
The newest thing that Lil Miss Lily enjoys is BITING!!! I actually was feeling quite smug the other day, reading about other puppies that are biters..... Because she hadn't shown any sign of even realising she had teeth....but lo and behold, she's found them now, and don't my ankles know ALL about it lol!!
Maybe you can tell I'm feeling a bit better, I can now laugh at some of her antics (springing in and out of the long grass like a lamb is my personal fave!) and I can see that you were all right, she's not doing it to spite me, she's a baby who needs love, care and guidance. I do have some feelings of love developing for her.... It's very different to how I felt about Moby but I'm sure that's normal. I find myself calling her little nick-names like I used to do with Moby (he was Mobes or Mobsey Moo Moo! - yes I am a lunatic lol!). I keep calling her Lilo-Lil (anyone over 30 who used to watch 'Bread' will find this amusing!) - especially since my friend keeps tickling her tummy and saying "she is a tart" Lol!!! (Which Lily seems to love!)
So all in all, I feel we've taken some steps forward. She has her 2nd jab tomorrow afternoon, so then it will soon be 'walkies time!' - I can only imagine what a little madam she's going to be with a public audience!!!!
Thanks again so much for all your help and support, it really has helped me so much xxxxx
