Say hello to Mina

I almost adopted another Brittany between Christmas and New Year but it fell through in really rather tragic circumstances.  On sober reflection we decided that having another Brittany after loosing George would probably be too much like trying to replace him.  In any event a different Brittany's personality would not have been like George’s and it was his personality that we loved.  That I thought was that until Mrs E spotted a dog in a local shelter that had just arrived from Romania.  A ten year old bitch of (lets be honest here) uncertain parentage, what my dad would have called a 'Heinz'  as in 57 varieties in there, but with a very laid back personality.  Good with other dogs and in need of a foster home.  So last Wednesday we drove over to the shelter and long story short came home with a new dog, on fostering with a view to adopting terms. Two days later we rang the shelter to make it an adoption!   Its a kind of doggy inertia selling I swear it is.

Mina, as that is her name, was a bit nervous of me to start with and preferred Mrs E's company and has been following her around like a shadow.  She has now overcome those nerves , it's amazing how far a goodly portion of roast chicken goes to earn a dog's trust, and has settled in rather well.  So we are once again a two dog family.  Happy days.
