Oliver's New Friend

On our way back from Minehead today we had to stop off en-route to pick up a surprise for Oliver.

A number of times in the past Oliver has expressed a desire for us to have a dog. We thought about it, and decided that it would be good for him to have some responsibility. We hadn't even told him that we were looking, or that we had found a dog. It hadn't been mentioned on Christmas lists, so it came as a complete surprise to him, and he was speechless when he realised that she was coming home with us for good.

She is a cockerpoo, and as yet doesn't have a name, though Beau is high on the list.
