Subject: "HAMLET"

Well, just had to put this down- I'm besotted!!
Hamlet( the new pup) arrived 3 weeks early- and is having a rough settling in- but he's very cute!To me, he's very cocker spaniel'ish- that gorgeous soft fur, little jowly bits on his face, loong ears, and the roundest, softest feet...His colour tho, is coolie- he's a red merle( like a red heeler, with dark blotches) he has green eyes, and a very loud voice!
I think he's meant to be here for some reason- my old cocker cross mate "Mitchell" (who was my constant shadow in the City, and for a couple of years up here,) had the nick name of the little Prince-(he used to look down his nose at us "Plebs")- anyway, this pup arrives, already called "Hamlet"- a prince's name, and he's only little-- well, I lok at those spaniel eyes, and then at him lying under my chair, or sleeping on one of my jumpers and i feel a sense of fate.... We'll see.
Kieran( my large "lap dog" ) is a bit put out- he doesn't like pups at the best of times, and cause this one's inside occasionally, he's a bit grumpy. Hamlet sleps outside, in a shed near the house- has a carton with a wool filled mattress, and some old jumpers, his toys, and bones- not bad accomodation in a hurry! There is a pen which he will go in when he's a bit older, all being well.
I was going to be all firm- He wasn't to be inside as yet, and was going to be used to being nice and independent! HAH..my Mum( NO MORE dogs inside! Dirty damn things...) has him inside at every opportunity, and sitting on her lap(she never does that!)I've got no say..."Here's a sock for hamlet to chew" has Hamlet got enough food?" Where's the spare h/w bottle?" "Give him some of Kieran's toys..." This pup will need to be vaccinated against spoiling, I think!!
I guess its that he's a different type- he is a sort of dog to cuddle, unlike the "working "'ones outside
Hopefully he'll stay well, and grow into a decent little man.
More later..
Oh, The little (human) baby has a name- (I'll call her "A" )and is doing well- Grandparents get custody next week.She's drinking from a bottle now.Her little brother loves his sister, and nurses her when he visits at the hospital.

Hamlet sounds absolutely wonderful. I hope he continues to settle in as he has been.
I'm so glad baby A is getting stronger and healthier and going home to her Grandparents.
