The Arrival of Chilli

We are now the very proud owners a dog :)

We ended up getting a female rather than the male we looked at originally – the female was much more laid back and gentle than ‘Igneous’, who seemed to be intent on killing as many of the other puppys in the kennel as was possible.

Our dog is a beautiful female Staff called Chilli, and has been living with us for just over 3 weeks now. Shes coming up to 12 weeks old, and is a completely brilliant animal with bags of personality and energy. She switches between being incredibly affectionate and mellow to being stubborn as hell several times a day, and has completely taken over our lives.

Yesterday evening we let her off the lead for the first time during a walk, and it was just brilliant :) To see her free, running about and having a good time was so nice. Plus she got growled at by a couple of other dogs – its always good to give a potentially over confident dog like Chilli a bit of respect for others.

Really looking forward to the weather warming up, so we can take the Chills on longer trips into the mountains. Winter is doing its best to cling on at the moment – its still snowy and cold, although the sun isn’t setting until around 19:00 now. The switch over from dark winter days to light summer ones seems to happen so quickly. And the clocks are going back next weekend, which also helps :)
