D-Day

We have just spent a really lovely weekend with our friends who live near Spalding.  In accordance with tradition we have been to Titchwell RSPB reserve which always seems to come up trumps.  Sorry to those of you who are not interested in our wild, feathered friends but for those of you who are, just a couple of photos:-

                    

TODAY ………….  the eagle puppy has landed!  Or, to be nautically correct, boarded/embarked. 

We thought she would be the last puppy to be collected but her little mate the lemon-coloured one, who has been named Cookie, was still there too. 

Lola wasn’t a bit fazed by the 2 hour car journey back to the marina.  I sat in the back with her and she chewed everything she could, clambered all over me and was keen to look out of the window.  I’m glad to say that we didn’t cause an accident.  She then crashed out and only woke up as we arrived at the marina.

 

Within 2 hours she had fully explored her new home, found the water bowl, had something to eat, done ‘the business’ – THREE times in the right place!, played with all her new toys and decided, like both Maggie and Maisie before her, that Mr Donkey is tops!  Blue Duck was also quite a hit – chewing him, squeaking him and attempting a bit of jiggy-jiggy!  At eight weeks of age!!!!!!  When she had worn herself out (and us!) she readily adopted her new bed. 

       

I can see we’re going to have our work cut out as she’s in to just about everything and has masses of energy!  She already knows the art of crying in an endeavour to get what she wants so we are fully expecting that ploy to be activated tonight!

What a busy but exciting day for us all.  xxoo

PS  The hard dog bed on the floor didn’t last long!!  Talk about make yourself at home!
