[AnnieK]

Oh exciting - can't see pic either though :laugh:

[AnnieK]

No he's male. Bean is the favourite atm but Black Bean Sauce rather than Jelly Bean :hehe:

[Niamh.]

Bean you can have so many nicknames too (as I swear dogs acquire about 40 nicknames in their life).

[Niamh.]

…runner bean…?….he’s totally adorable, I can see why you fell in love with him…when will he be able to be taken out for walking…?…

[Vicky.]

This is genuinely making me want one :laugh:

Apparently the kids got one at their dads last week but oddly they won't send me a picture..sounds odd

[Niamh.]

…runner bean…?….he’s totally adorable, I can see why you fell in love with him…when will he be able to be taken out for walking…?…

:laugh:

around 16-18 weeks, he's 11 weeks now

That's weird, are you sure they're not just winding you so you will get them a dog? :laugh:

[Vicky.]

Idk, they gave been saying they are getting one for ages which I never believed. Skye reckons it's too nervous to get a picture . :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

It looks like a Bilbo

[Niamh.]

lmao, did you ask Gavin if they got one?

[Vicky.]

No I don't really speak to him. My divorce is coming through next month!

[Niamh.]

No I don't really speak to him. My divorce is coming through next month!

Oh Skye is being very clever so :laugh:

….not long before she’s able to walk/run off all of that puppy energy…:love:…my son just got a puppy as well recently, I was telling Annie…and she’s already in the human bed also watching movies with her parents…

…I’m not sure what happened with the jumbling up of my post quotes there…I’ll just walk away and ignore it and pretend it all worked out fine…

[Vicky.]

Not sure what's going on. Will find out after school today

[Zizu]

Soooo envious …

We decided to not have any more dogs as its so heartbreaking and tying …

The downside is returning home to a ‘dead’ house though

AWWWW he's sooo cute!!! :lovedup: What breed is he? I'd go for the name Bean :bigsmile:

it is sad when they go but we had our last dog for 14 years so that's a good long life she had. It can be tying but tbh most of the time when we go places, it's places a dog could go anyway, plus we still have our adult son at home and he loves dogs so he's always handy to have on call. His g/f is baby sitting for us tonight as we're going to see Rhod Gilbert

His mother is a Border Collie and his dad is a poodle

Not a great two weeks …

Cute doggie ❤️. Bean is a good name for him too.

[Crimson Dynamo]

You need a 2-syllable name for shouting

[Adamw92]

He’s so cute :love:

[Livia]

We're going to need regular pup-dates.

[Benjamin]

Beanjamin

Perfect! :clap1:

[Glenn.]

Jealous!

He’s beautiful :love:

[Benjamin]

Showed the photo to my OH. He wants it.

A step closer to convincing him we’re getting a dog. :smug:

Haha I’ve been tempted. Once we travel less then will be the time.

If you lived closer we would dog sit. It's your own fault for living so far away.

[Niamh.]

Thanks all :love: we've decided on Steve/Stevie for his name I think (sorry Ben, that name is destined for when you get your dog [emoji23] )

[Benjamin]

It’s your fault for living so far away! Move to Wales. :fist:

[Livia]

You'd have two people to move, we'd have kids, dog, cat, parents and their assorted animals. You know the smart answer is for you to come here.

[Benjamin]

Booooooooooooo.

Still a cute puppo though. And we require daily pics pls.

You could get a farm house with land. And then host garden soirees with views of the Brecons. It’s be worth the hassle. ;)

Have you ever been on the Monmouth and Brecon canal? Is it close-ish to you? It's a really short canal, but you find yourself winding round a mountain with a steep drop off on one side and a mountain rising on the other. Easily one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

Yes, we often head around there, and around Wye Valley in the summer/autumn. Glorious places.

Gorgeous puppy! Very cute names! We just lost our cat Frodo in Ireland earlier this year, he was 11. The name Stevie does look like it suits him!

[Ammi]

….ahhhhh, I like Stevie, he looks like a Stevie…:lovedup:…Stevie the Wonder Dog…and you can still call him Stevie Beans…:love:…

…it’s funny how things can happen all-together like that at times, hugely emotional times and such a ‘flood’ like that is quite overwhelming…I hope that your son is living his very best life in the US…

Yes he’s actually living the dream with his lovely wife and two beautiful children a couple of miles from Disney

Just a shame we are such a tiny part of their lives

I initially fell into a 9 month depression when he left us … could be construed as selfish I know

It would be so much worse if they were home with you with no drive or direction

[Ammi]

…yeah totally, I have a boy who lives overseas as well and the greatest thing that we can give our children is confidence and self belief to be able to experience so any different things…I love having him back for stays…(…and I love when he goes home again…:laugh:…)…

Its good to maintain that couple relationship outside of just being parents as well.
