First day at our house

The boys visited us today for a few hours. McGrew and Cuthbert were so excited to see their new bedrooms, they ran round and round shrieking... normal house rules were suspended for a while!

Dibble was in his element, speed crawling from room to room and looking longingly up the stairs through the bars of the gate! He was intent on investigating every corner of every room, and seemed exceptionally happy!

McGrew spent quite a bit of time testing the boundaries, as we thought he would. But he was almost inconsolable when it was time for him to go, with real tears of distress at having to leave. It must be so confusing for them all. Having seen their bedrooms and their beds, but not be allowed to stay and sleep in them. But McGrew loves doglet - he gave her a huge cuddle and a kiss before he left, and told her that he loves her.

Cuthbert was his usual happy self, with only the occasional grumpy face when Dibble did a good impression of demolition man with the wooden railway track.

They're back tomorrow for the day - hopefully the rain will stop long enough to get out for a walk in the park with doglet.

Are you all going to be trated to a case of JDS next week? (Jealous Dog Syndrome).

So Monday morning is your last lie-in for... ooo how many years, then?

Enjoy!

Adoption is such a beautiful thing. To think that we are Gods adopted Sons and daughters. The way you love your boys is such a great example of Gods love for us. God Bless
