You will know that we decided that Pip would be happier in another home and had started putting out feelers before our week in Yorkshire. 2 prospective homes had been considered and rejected, I wanted her to be an only dog and she also would be better somewhere where she could be played with (a lot!) so ideally with older children or a single person who wasn't out at work all day. Both propositions broke these "ideals".
When Ralph went for lunch with his friends from work, the day after arriving in York, he was greeted with the words..."What a week! We bought a BC puppy on Friday and on Monday it died. The kids are distraught!"
Is that not the best timing for our little Pip? (sorry dead puppy...)
I was taking his mum out for the day and Ralph had both dogs in the car. He came home with one.
When I realised what had happened I naturally burst into tears. My little girl...sob.
But Pip is adored by the 2 children aged 10 and 13 and no longer terrorised by the shooting (outside) or Moss (inside).
The other benefit is that I have my beautiful dog back. Moss is now friendly and playful and obedient instead of having to keep her eye on Pip all the time. She is a different dog.
And one dog is soooo much easier.
