Well, the new puppy arrived last night. Thankfully, the kids decided to call him Oscar rather than Spot (whew!) and he really suits his name.
He sleeps an awful lot, and is scared of his metal feeding bowls. I have had to buy him china ones. 
Daft Mutt!
The other boys like him a lot, and he really enjoys their company, but unfortunately he is about the size of Angus' head, and he keeps getting trodden on. I am sure he will be able to hold his own when he is bigger, but just now, I keep having to put the big dogs in the other room, because they think they can rough and tumble with him like they do with one another. I'm frightened they are gonna break him.
