Sorry for hanging on to the smiles for a bit. They were pretty exhausted when they finally left, so no idea what time they'll reach you.
Jack is installed and doing very well. No photos yet, I'm afraid. He won't keep still except when he's asleep, which is now. But you don't need to see Mr Snoop's pyjamas that Jack dragged out of the laundry basket to use as a bed.
The receptionist at the vet insisted he'll be 20-25 kg. At the moment he's six weeks and he weighs six kilos and absolutely no puppy fat on him. I still reckon he's going to be huge.
Because he and the rest of his litter were dumped at the cat and dog home at four weeks old and have been fostered out, the home were happy for us to take him now. He's coping quite well. Missing his sister whenever he gets sight and sniff of his favourite toy that he had at the foster home (they're keeping her), but other than that a very game dog. He hasn't chewed anything untoward (so far) and has discovered sticks (from our thick kindling pile) and has fun tugging the bark off them. I'll post some photos as soon as I can.
Still got plenty of work on, so will try and make a start on that while he's out for the count.
Have a great day, everyone.
Edited to add: very bright here. High midday likely to be around 40 ºC! Much too early in the year for that.
Good morning all...it's 21 degs here right now so it's going to be a hot day.
Not a lot to do other than keep the greenhouse plants well watered
Have a good day all and don't forget the sun cream.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Missie was doing all right, they had a nose to nose, she tried to bat him a couple of times, he tried to play with her. He's very cat savvy and read the signs very well. But then Frankie came in and he was so horrified he scarpered, making Missie think that perhaps she should do the same. Haven't seen Frankie since, though Missie is currently on her day bed next to my computer.
I'm not at all keen on today's weather. It's really hot, but not sunny! I seem to have the habit lately of nodding off for about ten minutes whilst doing my jigsaws. Must be getting old, although my GGs say it's called a Power Nap

Snoop, Jack looks a handsome pup. Good that he's already cat savvy as he sounds pretty hefty already.
Flo, I like the idea of power naps, they sound so much more planned than closing your eyes over a book or jigsaw and having forty winks unaware.
Blackcurrants, Nicos, mmmm. Wish I was closer to you. Each year I tell myself I'll get a couple of bushes, then somehow the spring slips away and it never gets done.
