The kids pulled out the video camera and made a film of Roland the Puppy

See the video

We got a new member of the family over the weekend

He came to use from a place called Fluffy Puppies.

This is our second puppy - the last one didn't fare too well.

• Our puppy is sick
• Farewell LuLu the Shih-Poo - we hardly knew you
• A poem for LuLu

Good Luck Little Puppy - I hope you survive longer than a week.
