Pocket

She has soft, brown hair, big brown eyes and the face of an angel.  She is so excited to see you when you wake her up in the morning that could bring joy to the hardest of hearts.  She knows her Daddy and Mummy by name and will come running when called.  Her Daddy calls her Tinkle Bear, her Mummy calls her Scooter..

Watch out Cindy Pawford.....

Everyone, meet Pocket!  She is love and happiness rolled into one puppy.  She pulls at our heartstrings with just one lick and we are putty in her paws.

She grows like a weed

I have wanted a dog for ages, having grown up with a dog always around me.  Not to mention a very sweet dog named Belja back home in SD with my parents.  Though, as T never grew up with a dog, a little convincing was required... It called for my secret weapon... the big bottom lip! Finally, after my daily / hourly pleas, he gave in!

Look at that face.. who could resist!

I found the perfect litter that still had puppies available.. in Scotland.  To my SD friends, a 7 hour drive is like breathing.. you just do it without thinking... though to the Londoners of the crowd; driving to Scotland... for a dog... for 7 hours... may cause one to hyperventilate... It did in this case.

Scotland Road Trip to get Pocket Girl

Anyway, up and back to Scotland we went for our precious cargo and our lives haven't been the same since.  Yes, the midnight bathroom runs outside in December and January haven't been what one would describe as "fun", but both of us would agree, we would do anything for that Chocolate Button.  

How much is that doggy in the window...!

I recently read a quote (sorry no source) that said "He might be only part of your life, for him, you are his everything, the only person in his whole life."  We can't imagine life without Pocket, as she has added so much happiness, joy and fun!

Stay tuned as Pocket will definitely be making further appearances!

Never too old (or big) to sit on Mummy's lap
