I have a new springer spaniel puppy called Maddy! She is nine and a half weeks old and has been with me for almost a week now.
Having a new puppy is very full on. My friend/housemate/puppy co-parent is moving in with me in a week or so, so that should give me more time, but I probably won’t be doing much blogging or commenting on other people’s blogs for a while (I haven’t got much time for serious reading either!)
Maddy is a very good girl already, despite her dislike of The Perfect Puppy, and I’m sure she will soon settle in ♥️

Totally adorable! It’s been a very long time since I had a dog and, since my current feline companions would veto any additions to our household, I’m afraid I don’t have any prospects of getting one in the immediate future. Your photos, however, remind me of how much fun a puppy can be.

Thank you! She is Quite A Lot at the moment but learning so quickly! I grew up with a series of springers but she is the first dog I’ve had in my own right.

Maddy is so cute! Springer Spaniels are so clever and affectionate. I recently adopted a Brittany (not a puppy, though), and I totally relate. It took me some time to get back to reading and blogging, but it was totally worth it. Have fun with your new dog! 🙂

It’s so tough in the early days! I imagine it’s a whole different set of challenges with a new adult dog.

How adorable 🥰 I would love a dog and now that I finally own my own apartment I can do so. But but but … I don’t think it’s fair to buy a dog and then keep it indoors all day while I am at work. So that dream is on hold for awhile but I like to live vicariously through other people’s dog adventures. 😃

It’s so difficult isn’t it? I’ve wanted a dog my whole adult life but my lifestyle has never been right for one (renting, moving around a lot). Now I finally own my own house and primarily work from home my dream has been realised, but I know how lucky I am!

She’s lovely and I hope you have lots of fun together! I have a friend going through puppyhood at the moment and it’s pretty exhausting and absorbing but does improve.

Aww, yay! Welcome to Maddy. Even adopting an adult cat was quite the learning curve for us some years back. I’m sure a new puppy is up there close to a new baby for disruptiveness! I was too young, or off at uni, when my family got our pups, so I don’t remember the tricky early days. I hope all goes well and you are soon taking her off on your adventures to the sorts of lovely Northumberland places I’ve been seeing this week 🙂

Yes, I’d always assumed cats are ultra low maintenance, so have been surprised to hear how much work it is at the start from friends with new cats/kittens! Maddy is very full on. We had two new puppies in our family when I was 15 and I did help out with taking for walks etc but it’s completely different when you are totally responsible!
