... 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

some photos I took yesterday.
