we have had this wonderful, sweet, funny grey dog in our life for 2 whole years.......
minus the 8 weeks that she was with her breeder x
we had booked our pup before she was even born and on Sunday morning Debbie phoned to let us know that mummy Fleur had given birth to 3 pups x
1 black
1 blue
1 fawn
xxx
i knew instantly, even before i had set eyes on her that the blue pup was meant to be ours.
the breeder emailed us lots of pictures from day one until we met the pups when they were 4 weeks old x
we travelled each and every Sunday to see the pups until we were able to bring our pup home, still not knowing for sure which pup would be ours!
our breeder was keeping one pup for showing and would not make the decision on which pup it would be until the final few days of week eight.
Talulla had shown no show qualities so we and the breeder thought that she would be ours.......
the day of the Crufts judge arrived and she picked out Talulla as a future show dog!!!!!
Debbie phoned the shop to say that the blue pup would be staying with her and that she was really sorry.......
my life fell apart as i suddenly realised how attached i was to her.
i left the shop and went home
i didn't even lock the doors or empty the till
amazingly it was all still there when Stephen went up 20 minutes later!!!!!
thankfully Debbie had a change of heart when she realised how upset i was and she sold us the blue pup xx
we were sooooo lucky and will never be able to thank Debbie enough.
so that is how Talulla came to be ours
and now she is 2 x

Hi Tracy,
Thank you so much for the comments on my blog - I will post some pictures of the boys soon.
Thank you for the info on Coast and I think I will subscribe - I envy your move to the sea as it will be sooner than mine. I will read about the move with interest.
I have been intending to place an order at your website as I have been covetting the milk carton for a while, and you have so many other lovely things too.
I will certainly let you know when they arrive - I love getting packages through the mail.
I hope the animals enjoyed their birthday tea. Give your doggies a hug for me - they are scrumptious x

Aww, Happy Birthday Talulla!
Happy 2nd birthday Talulla,
Looks like you all had a lovely day and everyone enjoyed your birthday cupcakes. A girl after my own heart, nothing makes me happier than a cupcake treat.
Molly and Daisy send you two big kisses for you nose X X and a belly rub.

Looks like Tallula had a wonderful birthday! Our little Sam's birthday is in just a couple of weeks and Princess had her birthday last week.
The cakes look very yummy! Happy, Happy Birthday Doggy Diva!
What wonderful animals you have. Happy birthday Talulla! The pic of her with her bunny is just too cute for words.
i have kept these pictures away from my children incase they realize that your lovely doggies and cat fair better than them when it comes to birthdays!! and i have most definatly not shown them to our 'used dog' whom we love dearly and came our way after being abandoned twice...how ever it bought a smile to my face and i send your Talulla a big sloppy happy birthday kiss...
Happy Birthday, Tallulah! Aren't you a pretty birthday girl? I hope you enjoyed your awesome cupcake and your gifts!
I'm glad you got to come home with your 'mommy' because it sure sounds like you were meant to be together!
I'm so glad you got your girl in the end. Sounds like your animals have a lovely home and birthday cake is included! Wonderful!

Happy Birthday Talulla! She is such a pretty doggy. Cake looked scrummy - once we made my guinea pigs a 'cake' that had 'carrot trees' on the top! I think we were more taken with it than they were!
Happy Birthday, Tahulla - you cutie!
My gorgeous Springer Spaniel - Silas is 3 on July 6th and I too can clearly remember seeing him as a tiny puppy and falling immediately in love with him. He is the first dog I have ever had (although I constantly pleaded with my parents for a dog as a child) and I can't believe how much joy and love he gives to me. I love it when it's just me and him out for a walk together. An hour and 3 miles seem to go by in a flash - now when my two boys are with us it's a different matter! Happy birthday Talulla - you obviously give your Mummy joy and happiness too.
with love,
alice
Isnt it just amazing how much joy a dog can bring? Happy Birthday Tallula.
Happy Birthday Talulla - and what a lucky girl! The cakes are just so cute. It's Tiggy's birthday next month maybe I should make more of it - although she'll probably celebrate with another yummy dead mouse!
Hi Tracey
A friend of ours has a dog just like yours...a little boy called Storm and up until then I didn't think I liked that breed much...but he is the most gentle and gracious sole ever with such a smooth soft coat. We look forward to seeing him on the beach when the boys go surfing...which he really enjoys. It looks like Talulla had a brill birthday
