In last Saturday's post, I mentioned that we had to take a trip to fetch 'something special', and that I'd keep you all posted. Well .... here's what the 'something special' was ..... a dog called Lulu !Lulu is actually Dibble's grandmother, and her family are relocating to Zimbabwe and could not take her with them, so we offered to give her a home with us ! The photo above shows Lulu getting out of the back of our car when we first brought her home to the farm - Maxie, Dibble, Josie and Mbwenya (not pictured) all ran to the car to welcome her !
In this photo above, she had just jumped out of the car and was surveying her surroundings for the first time ! She is 5 years old and is a Ridgeback Cross (Labrador, I think ?) She's had 3 litters but has since been spayed - thankfully, else I would've had her spayed straight away.She's settled in really well so far ... is getting along with the other dogs ... and is a real sweetie - always wagging her tail and licking and 'smiling' at us ! She comes from a very loving home and was brought up with a little boy who is about my daughter's age - so she loves kids. He was very sad to see her go and gave her lots of hugs and pats as he said goodbye - his Mum was also very sad to say goodbye to Lulu - heartbreaking stuff ! We have promised to keep in touch with emails and photo's .... and they are happy that we are going to provide Lulu with a loving home.
This photo of Lulu was taken on our veranda yesterday - as you can see, she looks a lot like Dibble. I think she'll fit in well here, and we're lucky to have her ... welcome, Lulu !
