Ollie, Ollie, Ollie!

She arrived at 6.30pm. Poor little thing had had quite a day/journey all the way from Wangaratta. It's hard to not feel a little guilty yanking her from her siblings and placing her in a new environment.  

The noisy trains freaked her out at first, but she seems to be a whole lot less bothered now. She's playful, calm and curious. A delightful girl.

 Katrina (breeder) delivering her to us. This isn't a normal part of the service we were just lucky they were coming to Melbourne this weekend.

                           

 First hour at home, not sure of where she is or who we are - poor little thing.

Who are you? 

16 hours later and she is settling in well with lots of play in the back yard.

A girl named Oliver

Finally, I'm getting my girl. This beautiful babe will arrive on the 27th of February. I think she is beautiful. The boys are delighted as you can imagine. She is a medium Labradoodle from Wangaratta (my ancestral homeland). 

Originally she was promised to another and we were on a very long wait list for a puppy in the far future, however the puppy god shined on us with this lovely sweet little girl who had been ear-marked to be a therapy dog. 

Due to her calm and gentle nature the puppy god thought this girl was right for a family with young boys. We welcome her with loving arms (eight to be exact).
