    Good Morning all,

    Rachael, I should have put a different title to the thread sorry!! I've been singing it as well & it's driving me nuts :) :)
    With only 4 yes 4 days to go I will see Charlie today for the last time until collection day...did i say it's in 4 days??? ;D

    I have to confess though i am not just going to see Charlie but to see the breeders little girl who has looked after 8 puppies through her summer holidays...she's loved them, hugged them, kissed & cuddled them & she's only 7!! Today is her last day as she will be off on her summer holiday with her Mum! So i thought she deserves a big treat for doing such a great job....the bestest puppy sitter in the whole wide world. So off to the toy shop & sweet shop for me later ;)

    Lisa the days can't go quickly enough but you're right it'll soon be here

    Enjoy your day everyone...i will as I have just finished for the day :p

    Ah that's a really kind thing to do Dave,that little girl is going to be glum when her puppies leave...are the breeders letting her keep one?

    I'm with you on the Final Countdown.......I'm one chorus away from getting my air guitar out! ;D

    Wishing you hadnt mentioned it, its in my head now ;D ;D

    Sam was a good puppy on the whole, quite serious and calm but he did have his moments, the running in from the garden, doing a flypast the coffee table, snatching anything we had been daft enough to leave on it, then into the jungle at the bottom of the garden to hide his treasure ;D Then there was the sheepskin rug incident, a hearty dislike to it led to said rug being demolished , all good fun ;D

    That's lovely that you are getting the breeder's daughter a gift :) They will be sad :( But also grateful to know that their much loved pup is going to the best of homes :) They would love it if you kept in touch afterwards with regular updates - and I'm sure you will :)

    Oh, Julie, just when it had started to recede.... ;)

    What about 'Locomotion' by Kylie Minogue? That's always good for a few consecutive days of solid torment.

    Hee Hee Kate will appreciate this...

    We went to "last night at the proms" on the town quay tonight (my boy was a star, everyone there had a pint - including me - so he said hello to them all, and they were happy to rub his ears and tummy).

    We walked home singing (very badly) - hic hic:

    And shall Trelawny live?
    And shall Trelawny die?
    Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
    Will know the reason why!

    That got rid of loco-motion!

    3.00am in the morning & you lot have set me off again...air guitar in the garden....glad the neighbours are all asleep ???

    Well there is good news & bad I'm afraid..first the bad The breeders daughter looked ever so sad this afternoon :'( All the owners had been over including me so i think it all started sinking in for her....big softy here was really gutted for her but on the plus side 6 puppies are staying in their village. She will also see plenty of Charlie as the breeder is a good friend & we'll get together on a regular basis...so not all bad!

    The good news is

    Its NOW 3 DAYS ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

    It is going quicker than i thought but it still seems along way off ;) Well off to do some work, one run to the airport & that's me done for the day. Have a great day everyone wherever you are

    Cheers
    Dave

    Re: Final Countdown

    Woo hoo!! 3 days!!!!!

    I remember when I got my first puppy. There were two young kids and they and the breeder (their Mum) were both crying :'( They put so much into the pups, like your breeder, and they loved every pup to bits. But it's wonderful that in your case so many are staying in the village :D I'm sure that the daughter will just love seeing them all regularly. It's fab that Charlie has had all this positive experience with kids and many visitors already - it's invaluable.

    Only 3 days!!!! Really excited for you ;D

    Is Charlie coming home tomorrow, Tuesday, or Wednesday? Just so I make sure I log on to hear about your first day - can't wait to hear about him coming home. I bet it's been a long month!

    Good Morning Julie,

    Charlie will be home tomorrow about 5. It's been an exceptionally long month but finally the day is nearly here.

    I will put out an update later tomorrow...when Charlie has his 8 hour nap ;)
