A good trade

Postby boing » Mon Dec 28, 2009 12:09 pm

I eventually decided it was time for a change and have traded my 2 house-mates and townhouse for a garden cottage on a 9 hectare property just outside PE and a beautiful Lab puppy!! Jack is nearly 12 weeks old and already loves roaming the 'garden'. I am not going the reptiles as pet route though as the electric supply is not always reliable at the cottage and I am concerned if heating pads and lights go off for long periods. But who needs pet reptiles at home when you hvae them at work all day long and 9 hectares to search for wild ones whenever you want. I have already been 'warned' which areas the Puffies like to bask in...

Pretty pup indeed.

I reckon that's a good trade. You have the best of both worlds now. I Love Labradors so you defenitly have my vote :)

Beautiful dog boing! Labs are really cool. Hopefully he won't find any of those puffies by accident! Enjoy your new lifestyle in the new year.

HaHa, I thought it would be fun to have something completely different for a change...

Jack is just too adorable! Missing the little chap ... got so used to seeing him the whole of last week.
