Saturday's Dog - The Promised Dog

Phew!  It's been over a week since a blog post from me.  We've been making the most of the very few fine days that have been around and have hit the beach and the parks to burn some pent up energy that's been building up in the kids.  It's also been lovely getting all the family together, especially meeting some new little members, plus catching up with friends for a few lazy bbqs at our house.

We celebrated New Years at home with some friends & did manage to see midnight in, but paid for it the next day.  Hubby & I have never been one for making New Year Resolutions but one BIG statement that came from Hubby was 2011 would be the year we'd get a new dog.  Um ... did I hear right?  Has he actually committed himself to buying another dog?  Hubby even made the bold statement in front of the children ... twice! I think Hubby probably knew his number was nearly up in that if he didn't come through with a dog this year, then I was going to spill the beans on his "little secret".  You see, Hubby has the children convinced he's allergic to cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc, hence the reason why we can't have any of these.  It's not a stretch for the children to believe since Hubby is allergic to crustaceans & bees.  Why not ferrets as well?  So the search will be on for a 4 legged friend to join our family.  We're pretty much settled on a Poodle, most likely a miniature.  We used to have Dobermanns, but now with 3 kids and a smaller back yard, a small dog is the way to go for us.  There are lots of other breeds I'd love to own but Poodles are ticking all the boxes for us at the moment.  What breed of dog do you own?

Not sure what colour poodle for us.  Maybe black or perhaps the one above.

Happy walking, folks!
