“What's in a name?
That which we call a rose 
by any other name
would smell as sweet."

~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

this rose is called Noodle Monkey-Nut... Noodle for short

Received this 'bench pic' from Mrs Breeder on Saturday. Thank goodness the sun came out! Our little Noodle is with her three sisters and 4 brothers! She must have taken 1000 photos to get 3 reasonably good ones out of them. If only I could see a video of the photo shoot - THAT would be cute and hilarious I'm sure.

ONLY 5 SLEEPS UNTIL NOODLE COMES HOME!

"Happiness is a Warm Puppy"
  - Charles M. Schultz

The puppies have arrived!!

4 handsome boys and 4 beautiful girls born on 21st October.

Here they are at 1 day old!

(Okay, so I realise they look remarkably like the last litter, but I swear they are different! ...
...and our puppy is amongst the bunch.)

Based on the waiting list, we will have our choice from 2 lovely solid chocolate girls.

Ruby and pups doing very well.

Soooo excited to see them grow and change.



**having blogger editing problems !! Ugh!  



“All you need is love. 

But a little chocolate 

now and then 

doesn't hurt.” 

― Charles M. Schulz

Imagine a record playing, a calm soothing feeling in the air, daydreams of all 

things puppy ... "and they called it puppy loooooove, la la la la la la la..."   and then ...

*SCREEEECCHH!!* 

the needle stops abruptly mid-song. What the... ??!!

“If you come at four in the afternoon,

I'll begin to be happy by three.” 

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

About 72 miles southeast of here, here being Northwest London, lives a gorgeous black and grey English working type Cocker Spaniel named Rosie who is expecting a litter at the end of October (only a few short weeks!) Inside this beautiful animal is, if all goes well, the little creature who will be a bundle of joy,  companion and partner in crime for many years to come. HOW MANY you ask? Well...

William - quite handsome, wouldn't you say? 

Before I get ahead of myself, and if you can bear to take your eyes off stunning Rosie, 
meet the rugged beast by way of miniature poodle who is the papa to Rosie's litter! 

So what do you get when you cross a Cocker Spaniel with a miniature poodle? 
None other than a cockapoo! 
Never heard of one?
