It's Alba's last day with us and she's finishing her packing.  

I've enjoyed having her here but I'd forgotten how much work there is to having a puppy around the place.   You can't leave anything within reach or face losing it.  She's tall enough to reach the back of the kitchen counters so nothing is safe.  She sheds so much hair, I could fill the hoover every day.  It's hard walking a dog on the lead when you're not used to it.  Despite all of that, I'll miss her big muppet face.
