 Puppy LoveLast night the people came to visit the dog to see if they wanted her. They travelled from near Barrie, so were very committed. The woman came with her daughter and it was love at first sight.They simply adored her, which is very understandable as she is lovely and cute. Widget also seemed to like them and lapped up all the attention she was getting. After spending about an hour with us going through everything we had done with her so far regarding vets, training, feeding etc they left with her. We were very sad to see her go, however we are extremely confident that she has gone to a loving home and that she will continue to thrive there. They have promised to keep in touch and send the odd photo over as she grows. We are glad we turned the other people down, even though they were actually prepared to pay more for her. Our house was very quiet once she had gone and it will take us a while to get used to her not being around anymore. We had got used to one or other of us being followed around the house by our little red shadow. Anyway, the basement is progressing. Most of the structure for the walls is now in place, as is one set of French doors. Hubby spent most of yesterday working away and is doing an excellent job. He is however; constantly bemused by the standard of electrical work he comes across. In a past life he was a qualified electrician, so knows his way around the subject, but stares in utter amazement at some of the ways the work is carried out in Canada. It has not been done wrong by Canadian standards, but apparently some of the techniques used were phased out in the UK fifteen years ago! Today he aims to do some more to the basement, whilst I will do some baking, which I haven’t really done since being here. I also have to force myself to do some ironing – boring!
