One of the kids taught him to give a paw, so everytime he wants something thats what you get..... a paw!!!

The way he looks at me now is like he nows exactly whats happening (haven't told the 3 kids yet,although we have hinted)

Now we just need £2500 (gonna start a new charity...'get Snoopy to Aus')
Things didnt work out with the other family, their goldie was quite old and suffers from arthritis and I think Snoopy was a bit too lively for him. Basically the other dog hid upstairs crying (maybe he saw snoops as his replacement...poor thing)
What really swung it though was a conversation I had tonight with quite possibly the viliest man in Britain (its a long story, hes a local breeder) but he asked if I wanted any money for my dog.
I said no, I just want a good home for him.
He went on too say good because my dog, our family pet who we all love to bits was 'second hand goods'.
Well I'm not having that, told him where too go and that Snoops was going no-where apart from Australia.

We pick Chester up on Monday !!!! Can't wait.
I think first stop will be Whitfords beach.
I don't care how much it cost now, I just want to see him again. - If he'll speak to me that is. I may well be completely ignored for being such a horrid mummy.
p.s we need a floppy dog smiley please
