* 1 / 2012 *

 I didn't post much at all over the Christmas period I think mainly due to work / home commitments but it's all over now in a blur of excited boys and much Lego of the Star Wars and Harry Potter varieties. As for New Year I was in bed by 10.30pm, gone are the days of drinking and dancing my little legs off at midnight and way past for that matter!

  I don't know if you'll remember but last year I posted every day in January so I thought what the heck, let's try and do it again and to start I thought I'd introduce the newest member of our family. The very curious and camera shy Freyja. I think I've taken about 60 photo's of her so far and these are the best .....

 We never had any intention of getting another dog never mind another German Shepherd but when we heard of an 18 week old girl who was in real need of a good home we just couldn't refuse. So yesterday we went and got her. She was living with 7 other Shepherds including her sister and the owner just couldn't look after them all. At the minute she is curled up over my feet chewing on a bone which she pinched off Kali. Luckily the two of them are getting on okay, there are instances of snapping and teeth showing and quite a bit of growling but that is just to be expected and should ease off eventually.

She loves being cuddled and stroked and judging by the size of her compared to Kali I think she's going to be a big girl . I will try and get a picture of them together at some point but don't hold your breath.....
