Peppi
We have a puppy! Her name is Peppi, and she is 4 months old.
The pack
After a minor spat when they first met - we think Paco was overwhelmed when she bounced around him as soon as she saw him - they seem to be getting along quite well. Although Peppi is quite a feisty little thing, growling at Paco when she tried to take his bone from him. (They’ll need to be supervised as they sort out who the Alpha Dog is. We’d assumed Paco would be top dog, but looking at how Peppi bosses him around, I’m not sure…)
Bad hair day with puppy
They kept me up most of last night, running around playing chasey.
I can haz pizza?
Hopefully they will become good friends.
Last Sunday was a beautiful day for a walk. Specifically, the annual Million Paws Walk.
A beaut day for a walk
Paco had a wonderful time.
Oo-er
He enjoyed being with so many dogs, even if he did get slightly overwhelmed at the drink station, where lots of the bigger dogs were very enthusiastic when having a drink of water.
Who’s excited??!
Paco even jumped into the river at one point, while watching the golden retrievers retrieve sticks. It looked such fun, he forgot that he normally dislikes getting wet… Seconds after I took this photo he jumped in - and jumped out again quick smart. I love the expression on his face!
Walk’s end
We walked the entire 5km or so of the walk. At walk’s end Paco was still energetic and keen to say hello to other dogs!

Tired

Paco’s been a little lethargic in this heat - it got to a sweltering 39.8°C (103.64°F) yesterday.
