Oh Bless! How cute is that little chap! 
I wonder if his name is Peter? He looks like he should have a blue coat and be in the pages of a Beatrix Potter story!
Hello All,
Thank you for all the lovely comments! I have to confess, even though my sewing was nearby, I was actually eating a sandwich when I took this picture on my phone!!! LOLOLOLOL!
Hi Alison/Clare - its funny but before I bought Bella I really wanted a tibetan terrier as my mum had one when she was a little girl. However whilst walking Lilly one day, I met a lady who owned one and she really put me off getting one by saying that they were very stubborn and hard to train.
So we decided to get a Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel cross Poodle) which Bella is. I wish I hadn't listened to that lady in some ways but I'm glad in another way as I love my Bella soooooo much!
Both my girls have lovely tempers but love to play and cause chaos - so I'm very happy. Bella also hates being left out of any affection and if my husband kisses me, she will climb up between us and sticks her head between ours and gives us both kisses!
You're very clever Sophie! They are all fantastic. 
The fashion over here this winter has been woolly hats with ears and bear faces on them. So cool!
Just wanted to share with you a picture of my very own audience. We had 4 dogs in the house over the Christmas period. My mums 2 westies and my own babies Lilly & Bella!
Anytime I was up to something that looked interesting, there they would be!!! 
Brilliant picture!
They are beautiful! Cooper has very soulful eyes and I love Miss Tiff's fashion sense.
I would be doing the happy dance too! What a cutie.
Now thats a cuddle I would like to give to that big chap! Gorgeous!!!
I love your dog she is beautiful! The hat is very cool too!
Hi Sophie!

Next to Lilly is my Mums Westie called Pip who is the old man!
Hello All,
Clare, your post must have been calling out to me as this is the first time I have posted since 2009.
Life has been very up and down! I lost my 2 beautiful dogs in 2009 and they passed only 3 months apart. Needless to say we were very upset. 
Work has been keeping me busy but after 4 years Im finally back working from 9-5! Yay.
I also have 2 new babies. My new pups are called Lilly & Bella. I will pst a piccie as soon as possible when I can get my computer to work!
Just wanted to say hello to Sophie and let you know that Martin is still being a good boy and is a very caring member of the hug!
Bye for now!
Claire
I love everyone's puppy pictures.
This is what I did to my poor dogs last year for my Christmas card. You can see how ecstatic they were!!
Hi Jane,
Thanks for the link.
For the last 2 years, my friend and I always do the Race For Life for Cancer Research.
It's all women and a great cause, as well as good exercise that's a bit fun. To also see so many women united in their efforts to fight cancer is also very humbling.
Already looking forward to next year!
Hugs
Claire
Hello All,
Can anyone help me. I'm looking for a giraffe pattern to make for a friend.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
I like Bo or Beau for a girl!!! My husband doesn't like that name!!
Bo in chinese means precious one and the other is short for beautiful!!!
I also like Mia as it means 'mine'.
Good Luck!!
That is so cute !!!
I'm so sorry for your loss!!! If being upset about losing your baby doggy is silly then I am silly too with you !!!
I have 2 dogs, one of which has to have an op tomorrow. I would be bereft if anything happened to them!!!
Big Hugs
Claire
Oh I love these pictures!!! What a little darling to help out with the gardening!!!
Hugs
Claire
