Going back to my puppyhood.............

Well it all started on a Wednesday evening 21st November 2001. Mum had been out to Shropshire for the day on a dog grooming event - to see if she wanted to take it up.........at the time they had no dog as the old one (such a good boy he was I have been told!!!) had died a few months before..............yadda yadda yadda!!!!

Anyway it was a horrible night raining and wind howling when Dad got back from his sisters house and said there is an advert in the paper selling Airedale puppies - well mum had said that IF they ever have another dog it would be an Airedale and he would be called Eric!! Mum said it's a horrible night we'll think about it......then she went out to get something from the car and found a cage in the back that he had fetched off his mum!!! So off they set - to Sheffield to just look at these puppies........

Well they got there an hour and a half later - and were taken down to the kennel run in the garden to meet 8 puppies.........we all came tumbling out and I thought ---wey hey I like these two. So to get noticed I started to drag the great big yard brush about and they picked 3 puppies to take into the house to have a closer look at.................and gues what..........................they picked me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!! the people asked when we were coming back for him and we said we'll take him now thanks! I'm so glad they did....................more to follow!
