Piero.
That will be the name, apparently. His name, to be precise. It’s always been this since the idea was first floated. It could change, obviously, but I think that is unlikely.
Apparently, I don’t pronounce it correctly. It should be said short and I stretch it out. So I am told, by the women in Purchasing.
So, Piero. I know, in my heart, that we shall want him as soon as we see him. That’s why they are always (?) cute, isn’t it?
He is about 4 weeks old now. We won’t get him until he is at least 8 weeks old. It’s another month. I keep wondering about Rufus. And having three of them if Rufus is still going strong – or just still going, which is much more likely.
Although, right at the moment and for the last few days, Rufus is definitely much better. I can tell by little things. He now pulls on the lead sometimes whereas, normally, he is right by my side so that the collar doesn’t pull on his neck. I imagine, without all the hair, that his neck would be scrawny and saggy, like an old man’s – like mine, a bit, I suppose.
If he were a man, he would have a zimmer frame by now. Or, at least a walking stick. But he’s not so he can’t so he does the staggering bit if he stands still for a few moments, unable to keep still and upright, his body ‘falling’ to one side and he having to correct himself – well, mostly. Except occasionally when he falls to the floor with a crash. Like the other day when he was eating. I heard the sound and went round to find him sprawled on the floor – legs spread out. Poor thing.
But he’s definitely a lot better. It’s a little worrying – the idea of having three of them. But, also, I know, it will be a few weeks afterwards before he can go outside. But three. Hmmm.
Still, I want him too. It will be better for Dino and, maybe, Dino will leave Rufus alone more.
All the thinking about it is irrelevant, really. At the sight of him, my heart will melt. I know that much. It will all depend on F, I suppose. But we won’t have the discussion that we should, I am sure. About the training required – about the things that must and must not happen – about the help I shall need. No, that won’t happen.
But, he’s sensible, right? Right? For in this situation, I can lose my common sense.
Probably, pictures to follow after Saturday afternoon. And are you doing anything just as fun and exciting as me for the weekend?
OMG, Andy! I can’t resist puppies eyes
or, I should better say, I can’t resist puppies.
Post some pics, pleaasssee!! I love the name, by the way.
3 dogs is a LOT of work, especially if one is 8 weeks old. I had 2 dogs only once in my life and it was both funny and demanding. However, I’d do it again. Actually, having Duick is like having 3 or even 4 dogs, he is VERY demanding and also quite big so it’s not easy to live with him if one is not familiar with gordon setter.
I’m glad Rufus it’s better.
Yes, well, me too – and F, I think.
Of course I will post pics. I already know they will be so beautiful. *sigh*
can’t wait to see the pictures.
We’re going to the mountain in the weekend… romantic dinner, relaxing spa etc
Oh that sounds lovely, Lola. I hope you both have a lovely time.
Hi Andrew…A name I know (when we were kids my sister called me ‘Piero’), it is funny.
After Argo, I (ok, mainly my parents) said “no new dogs”, however I’d like to have one. When Wolf (the first dog) arrived, he was 30 days old. I was a boy of 8 years but I loved him since the beginning. Argo was 2 months, we choosed him and the only bad thing was that we took him away from his brothers, mom and dad, but the day after, when he was with us was really funny, he was lovely. As he was the first time we took him to the sea. Can you imagine a puppy, three months old, running on the shore??? We were the stars of the town!
Now I cannot resist to the eyes of the two stray cats that always are in my garden, asking (with their eyes) for some food…that’s why I have it in my car!
For sure, puppies are, nearly always, very cute. They are this way so that they will be looked after. And, it seems, the first thing they learn is to how to make humans love them hahahahaha
I could never be without a dog, I think. But the results of yesterday is another post………….
