Cristina kindly sent a special package !


…………………………………………………………………..

“Oooh ! … What’s in the parcel” ? asks Truffle …

Conker answers “I don’t know. It looks exciting !”

…………………………………………………………………..

They sniff the package and read the labels :

FRAGILE ~ WITH CARE

………………………………………………………………….

Time to unpack the polystyrene granules.

Conker and Truffle volunteer to wait safely in another room. Lol.

………………………………………………………………….

There’s something interesting here …

………………………………………………………………….

Oh, good … looks like he’s arrived in one piece !

…………………………………………………………………..

He’s almost ready to meet Conker and Truffle …

……………………………………………………………………

Truffle gives a kiss to his new friend, and says to him,

“In the summer, we’ll take you out in the garden, and give you some new paint ~ like we did last year for Gromit.

Then you’ll feel all bright and happy."

……………………………………………………………………

The model dog has come a long way from his paving stone in Cristina’s garden …

……………………………………………………………………

Thank you, Cristina …

Your little dog will be much-loved in his new home.

All dogs here are handled WITH CARE … Lol …

Hello Hywel, Gee, Sandra and Amy ...
Thank you... so kind of Cristina ..
I'm not yet sure whether the dog would survive better indoors... must wait and see ...

23 Feb, 2011

 

It's a bit like the Jack Russell my grandson bought me for Christmas, TT, and I keep that indoors. They look lovely sat next to the fireplace but I had to move mine because Millie throws herself and her toys around and I was worried it would be damaged :)

23 Feb, 2011

 

Yes, Gee ... this seems to be made of resin ...
Maybe the paint will peel off too much outdoors...

Hi Grandmage ...

Hello Lulu ... I have to think hard each time I key in "polystyrene" it doesn't look right...lol.. Luckily Cristina warned me about the inside packaging, so the polystyrene granules are all safely in a plastic bag.

25 Feb, 2011

 

Hi Pip ...
Glad you like this :o)

25 Feb, 2011

 

Lol! Very nice blog- poor conker, I bet that sticker drove him crazy!

25 Feb, 2011

 

Hi Red aly ...
Conker loves "wearing" anything and everything ...

At first, I put the sticker just above his nose, and he wagged his tail .. didn't try to remove it ... lol.

25 Feb, 2011

 

Lovely pictures Terratoonie, lovely dogs :-)

26 Feb, 2011

 

Hi Louis ...
Thanks... My dogs say "Hi" :o)

26 Feb, 2011

 

You'll have a very obedient pal there, Terra. Very nice of Cristina to remember you with the gift of her doggie...and a nice change for him too :) New home and playmates too! lol

26 Feb, 2011

 

Hello Whistonlass ...
Yes, Cristina and her OH were so kind sending us the doggie model ... it is VERY well-behaved ! lol.

26 Feb, 2011

 

How could I do anything but approve Terra..a jack russell! Very kind of Cristina, but I don't suppose he will be able to win any prizes for tricks like lovely Conker:-)

27 Feb, 2011

 

Hi Bornagain ...

The model dog has legs long enough that proportionally he looks, to me, more like the old-fashioned type of Smooth Fox Terrier ...
I'll have so see if he learns any more tricks than "sit-stay". Lol.

28 Feb, 2011

 

I can't even get mine to do that Terra...lie on the settee all day..they can certainly do that lol. As far as I know, they were bred from fox terriers originally and of course jr's come in all shapes and sizes now except for the parsons which are recognised by the KC. mine have quite long legs, they're not the short, Queen Anne legged type. There's an old wire haired fox terrier living near me who is rather fluffy as he doesn't get stripped. Hardly ever see fts now though and never the smooth, thank goodness for Truffle :-)

28 Feb, 2011

 

Johnjoe put a pic of a Smooth Fox Terrier on GoY the other day... "Stripes" with interesting black and white markings. :o)

28 Feb, 2011

 

I'll have a look:-)

4 Mar, 2011

 

Lovely addition to the family. I was just going to tick the I like this blog box but there isn't one. I am still catching up from being away for three months.

6 Mar, 2011

 

Hi Scotsgran...
the like box should be just below the last photo of Conker ...
Is it there ?
nice to have you back on GoY :o)

6 Mar, 2011

 

Oh dear this new site is taxing my poor brain a lot. It is indeed there. You had better send me that sticker lol.

6 Mar, 2011

 

Lol... Glad you found it :o)

6 Mar, 2011

 

Lovely blog....reminds me of the story about the Garden Gnome that disappeared from someone's garden once. For months the owners of the gnome received postcards from all over the world, then one day it suddenly reappeared in their front garden...as if nothing had ever happened! :-)

3 May, 2011

 

lol look at my garden on your pics t.t ................ it looks so diff now , wot a change !!! how is the little fellow lol ..............

3 May, 2011

 

Thank you Sunrose ... I remember the story of the gnome which disappeared for a while ... :o)

Hi Cristina ... I'll take a look at your pics later today...
my latest blog features Gromit, Wallace and lots of others, but your little dog is still waiting for better weather for a repaint.... he is being very good... very patient ;o) Lol. x

3 May, 2011
