Trips to Scotland

My lovely quiet weekend wasn’t so lovely and quiet, since I agreed to travel up to Scotland with Katie for her new puppy.

Baby Rave (Capehope Rave On) is very very cute and tiny and naughty! I am puppy sitting him one morning this week, so I can get a healthy dose of Do Not Want a Puppy again. I’m also puppy sitting a relative’s Shih Tzu for 2 weeks in July; Alfie is 6 months old at the moment, a very cheeky and confident little man, so I’m feeling lots of puppy love.

My puppy is 10 months old this week, and I’ve got all my fingers crossed that she doesn’t come into season when Alfie is here, since I definitely do not want Shih Tzu x Aussie puppies. I’m also hoping she holds off so we can go to the Champs; I don’t trust some of the flyball community when it comes to keeping entire dogs under control, so she’ll have to stay home, which means I’ll also have to stay home! Thankfully I can ship Dylan off with my mother but I do really want to be there. In a perfect world, I’d really like her to wait another two months and come in on her birthday in August, since we have a quiet September so I won’t need to miss much, and then I can get her spayed over the winter. Rio likes a schedule so hopefully she’ll stick to this one!
