Well we went to see the litter in Dewsbury and met 5 tiny little gorgeous springer pups. We had previously decided on a bitch - our thinking being that a bitch would probably be a bit smaller than a dog and hopefully less had strong!
Out of the two bitches we initially couldn't decide and left saying we would be happy with either. However after much puring over the photos and lengthy discussion we decided on the smaller of the two - mainly because the marking on her head looked like harry potter's scar!
Next came naming our new addition...we tried to think of Harry Potter related names - Hermione was vetoed straight away and the only suitable name seemed Bella (after Bellatrix Lestrange) -however we have a good friend called Ella and she is easily confused when it comes to dogs so we thought Bella would be a bad idea. Now this seems like it is leading up to a logical explanation as to how we ended up with Tilly but I am sad to say I have no idea where it came from but it has stuck.
So 'Tilly Best' will joining us in early July - we can't wait.
From Ella:
ReplyDeleteI promise to remember this one and not get her all confused with other dogs, of completely different shapes and sizes!!!!!
P.S. I was admiring the new fence around your garden and for some reason I can't see Cadbury's world at the bottom of your garden any more? Where has it gone????"
I am obviously a bit late here, but I have to say that should you ever get another springer and want a HP name, I cannot recommend Luna high enough. Surely, they are Loony. We called ours Hazel which has worked out in our favor because she is really a nut.
