I did tell you on twitter that this wasn’t all that exciting, just exciting for me.
You know what you need to do when life is stressful? You need to add more things to the family, so you don’t have any time to worry about anxiety or panic attacks.
So would you please all welcome Susie, the newest addition to our family.
Please, ignore the fact that my feet are purple in that second photo. I’m a bit EDS-y lately.
Susie’s Mum was a Springer Spaniel x Border Collie and her dad was a purebred Springer Spaniel. This is the closest to a purebred dog I’ve ever owned in my LIFE! Normally I go in for mongrels (like Seven, she’s a terrier x daschund something mix), but Susie needed a home when I needed a puppy, so here she is.
I suspect we’ll have a bunch of OMG puppy stories coming, but for now, she has fit in really well. Seven is following her around, doing nothing but wagging her tail and trying to lick her.
The cats however, they’re not too keen. Both of them still look a little like I plugged them into an electrical outlet. They’re going to be sulky for weeks and I fully expect a display of decapitated birds to be awaiting me when I feed them tomorrow.
Hehe.

Yay! Welcome Susie!
Awww… Susie is soooo adorable! Hannah (my 6yo) says she’s soooo cute!
aww!
Very cute – but I still think you are mad, in the nicest possible way of course 😉
She’s beautiful! Congratulations. (Those are some great photographs, btw.)
Ooooh! Puppy! So cuuuute! How exciting.
She is precious!
sooo cute
Susie is sooo cute!!! I love puppies so much…except the house training part. Congrats on you new addition, can’t wait for the stories!
You know you’re *really* not helping my I DO NOT NEED A PUPPY thing… I mean REALLY! Bitch.
Welcome to the blogosphere Susie! *mwah* xxx
Didn’t even notice the purple.
How damn cute is that pup?! I want one!
Oh man she is too cute 🙂
She’s a beauty. Famous already. Looks like there’s lots of mischief coming.
Additions? Or addictions? 🙂 Very cute. That’s good that you have a puppy because you don’t have nearly enough to keep you busy you lazy girl.
The cats are surely plotting.
She is very very lovely. Love the belly.
Incidentally, my only pet was a Red Setter/Spaniel mix, wonderful nature.
She’s beautiful!
I cant wait to stop moving so I can have a puppy again.
I meant renting. I need some more sleep.
I miss puppy breath. How sad.
she is gorgeous – my mother in law has an identical version as does my sister in law )the dogs are sisters. Although they are way older than your beautiful girl. I see their mum and dad each day as they were gotten from a chap in our village. They are energetic and bark and bark and bark at everything. Mum and dad are working dogs, but kids are spoilt in a very responsible I love my dog way! This dog will keep the children so very entertained and hopefully give you a break. So I have given you a doggy story ha ha. Is it just me but I can’t see your feet in the picture…
Wishing happy doggy days, she will provide much humour and no doubt much chewed furniture, socks, and tales to look forward too. She is simply gorgeous lucky you.
aww
she is very adorable..
wow dogs cats.. lol
do you still have the horses?
how old is she?
She is absolutely adorable!! LOVE IT!
She’s adorable. And share the decapitated bird stories as well. 🙂
Awww. She’s very cute. I can’t wait to hear about of her antics!
Welcome Susie. You are so cute. I want to rub those lovely little ears and tickle her tummy.
Too cute!
Speaking of decapitated birds, that doggie looks like the springer spaniel I once had… It caught birds and played them to death because spaniels are bird retrieving dogs.
Ma be many dead birds in your future.
I’ve just realised why I no longer harbour particularly strong desires for babies anymore. I NEED a puppy!
She’s gorgeous – Hi Susie.
Awwwww, she is a gorgeous little thing.
Puppies are fun to introduce when there is much stress. Just ask Chippy the small sausage dog. he was a stress addition. He can relate.
She’s very sweet! And I bet she has great puppy breath. I <3 puppy breath!
There is nothing more heart-warmingly beautiful than a puppy’s smile.
…..in fact, I devoted an entire month to these wonderful animals in December!
Not exciting for anyone but you?! Whatever! I’m thrilled for you and totally envious of you!
I love Springer Spaniels! I had 2 of them about 14 years ago but they are gone now. Their names were Shasta and Sherlock.
Funny, I just watched Friday’s Oprah show. It was her birthday and she got herself 2 14 week old Springer Spaniels!
Oh god, now I have puppy envy!! I used to get a new puppy or kitten every third year on the nose — then I had kids. Now I seem bent on a mission to keep adding more mouths to feed to the house too. She is SOOOOO cute. It will be a pain in the rear, but she will be worth it. Dogs are teh bestest. Cheers!
