E.mail From Lisa ...

... and it's made me quite emotional .. Thank you so much for your kind words Lisa, and thank you all for loving Luna. 
Hi Rhian
Have been doing lots of reminiscing this weekend as no doubt have you! Here's a little something I pulled together, hope it's ok x
They say things are meant to be and finding Rhian and her wonderful Blanik babies definitely was! After months of consideration, in November 2013 we were finally able to say we were getting a dog!
We took nothing but reassurance from our correspondence with Rhian and knew we'd found someone who really cared about who and where her future puppies would be going, this just what we wanted. Suddenly The excitement about christmas was all about the new arrivals and checking Rhian's blog for updates and how the beautiful pregnant Ziva was progressing. On Christmas Eve we were delighted the pups were safely here and of course there were four bitches in the litter so knowing we'd have ours sent excitement levels through the roof. We'd named her Luna before she was even conceived so in reality had began to emotionally attach to a dog that wasn't even ours yet but for now her name was Jingle! 
What followed were the most wonderful pictures, videos and updates of the Blanik 'I' litter and the countdown to picking up day, oh and a visit from 'the dog inspector' aka Linda Lawton, I've never been so prepared for anything in my whole life but so nervous! 
We made the exciting journey to Fron on Sunday 16th February 2014 and meet Luna for the first time. And how special to not only meet the remaining litter but also her mummy and daddy. 
There were so many emotions when we left, suddenly we had responsibility for such a vulnerable and fully dependent young thing but made easier knowing Rhian would be with us whenever we needed her every step of the way. 
Luna settled in wonderfully, we've had so much fun with her around, some things were a challenge but we were enjoying the journey and her firsts of everything with us. The past year has passed so quickly and we've done so many things that have totally enriched all our lives. She is truly loved. 
And all this leads to a big thank you to Rhian for allowing us to discover that a home without a dog is not a home! X
And some photos I took yesterday.
