This was going to be part of an update post I had planned at the beginning of August but it never happened so Stormy gets his own post now. I have to admit that I forgot how tiring a puppy can be, our last one was 14 years ago, and it has kind of taken most of my energy making sure he goes out when he needs to and pretty much resting when he does so my blogging may have suffered a bit. Also I’m doing a customer service course now from home so that’s another factor, but this is about the puppy!
July didn’t start as a great month as our 14 year old dog, Ricky, died. He had a heart condition and never got on well with the heat so the heat wave did sort of finish him. He was a great dog and had a good life but it was his time.
We weren’t expecting to get a dog so soon afterwards but a friend knew someone at dog training who had puppies and Stormy was one of them. He’s a bit of a mix, his dad is a Labrador and mum looks like a lurcher but might be a rottweiler retriever cross.
It’s going to be interesting to see how he turns out. He’s already almost the size of our old dog and he’s not even four months old!
So far we know he loves water, that’ll be fun when we go places with lakes, and he seems to attract leaves and sticks in his fluffy fur. He’s also not sure what to do with new toys that squeak, he’s still a puppy then.
I won’t spam here with a load of posts about him, though he’ll probably creep into any update posts, especially as we’re probably taking him puppy training, or trying it out anyway. But there will probably be quite a lot on my Instagram if you want to see more of him as he grows up.

Thanks, Ricky was a good dog but it was his time, still miss him but Stormy has definitely settled in fast ☺️ it doesn’t seem like it’s only been six weeks we’ve had him, it seems much longer.

AWWWW Stormy is such a little cutie! 😀 I thought he was a Schnauzer when I first saw about him on your social media, but alas I was wrong! 😛
Either way he is adorable and I cannot wait to see updates about him on your blog!
Also, I’m sorry to hear the loss of your previous dog. 😦 I know how shitty it is when an old friend passes on. *cuddles*

I love his little moustache and eyebrows, they do give him that Schnauzer look. He’s already met most of the village dogs and there’s a we new puppies in the area do there may be cute doggy friend pics and adventure here too in the future. Yeah, it sucks when pets die, it’s the worst bit about having them, but we knew it was his time. Thanks ☺️

Thanks, yeah Stormy is definitely full of energy! He needs more exercise than any of the dogs we’ve had before.
