Our new addition

Yesterday, the kids got a surprise that was better than birthdays and Christmas rolled into one.  Coco arrived at our house.


Coco Doonbeg Dilnot
 
Coco is a ten year old Irish Water Spaniel, who loves long walks and tennis balls.  She loves children, which is more than we can say for our other family pet.
 
I am the only child and pet you will ever need. Why do you insist on introducing others?
 
Pangur Ban is understandably disgusted that, in addition to having two small children, we now have a dog.  She is currently haunting the upstairs of the house giving us dirty looks.
 
We had a great first day, going on a long walk across the fields, playing lots of ball and trying to stop Itsyboo from feeding all of his food to Coco (because it is apparently hilarious to give her toast and fish fingers).
 
Life here will clearly have its downsides for Coco, though.  The endless rain has turned everything to mud and, for the foreseeable future, Coco will have to get hosed down after every single walk.  We hope that this will be the worst thing that ever happens to her!
