Rusty the Dog
Rosie has yearned for a pet dog for ages. And today Lynda and I fulfilled our commitment to get her one soon after we returned from Bundaberg.
Lynda and the kids were introduced to Rusty, a ten-month old Fox Terrier cross, yesterday at the Somersby RSPCA and today Grandma and I had the chance to meet him too. This time next week he will have been to the vet for a certain operation, our back yard will have been puppy-proofed and Rosie should be happily indulging her new pet.
For all of us owning and caring for a dog will be a new experience. But when you meet Rusty (pictured below) and see the imploring look in the eyes of your children, how can you say no?
Just wondering how Rusty is settling in to his new home?

He's an excitable little fellow but if he keeps yapping at 10:30pm or 5:30am our good relationships with our neighbours may become a little strained!
