A CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL JOINS THE FAMILY

LITTLE MISS TARA

This is quite exciting - my first blog on our new updated page. I just love the look and listening to the soothing music. It has given me the inspiration I needed to get myself organised and back in action.
There is also a little girl who is putting the sunshine back into my life and her name is Tara. She is a ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and is now 12 weeks old.

I didn't know if I was ever going to have another dog after my beautiful Bella passed away at the age of 11 years. But 15 months later here I am with a gorgeous little girl who has stolen every ones heart. She is already a favourite with Aunty Lyn who drops in on her way home from work for a cuddle.

The only one who isn't too happy about the arrival of Tara is my Daughter's little dog named Indi. She has had 'Grandma' to herself for a while so sharing isn't on her agenda at the moment but she is slowly coming around. Tara doesn't help when she jumps all over her and tries to bite her ears.
INDI -SHARING 'GRANDMA' ISN'T ON HER AGENDA


I feel guilty saying this but I found Tara on the internet - it seems a harsh way to buy a precious little puppy. Tara was born in Inverell so our journey to collect her turned into a short 4 day holiday. We drove through Kyogle, Casino, Grafton, Armidale and then on to Inverell. My Husband and I had never driven down that way before so it was all new and interesting. We actually got to see the start of the Autumn colours - really lovely as we don't see too much of that on Bribie.

We picked up Tara early in the morning and drove back home in one day. She travelled perfectly. Frequent stops in parks along the way meant that we talked to a lot of people. It is amazing what effect a puppy has on people - they open up and tell stories of their own pets and then strangers become friends for a short time.

I realize now how much I have been missing Bella but I couldn't be happier with the way Tara is fitting into our family. Tara will never take Bella's place in my heart but she has already found a new place in my heart which is just for her.

TARA - THE HEART STEALER

I promise next time to blog about something other than my puppy but I will keep you updated with her progress.

Something to make you smile to finish off my ramblings for tonight.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a receipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honoured.

Till next time -Live, Laugh, Love
