The first 24 hours (with my new family)

My name is Lennon, a name in keeping with my other four legged friends in my new home. Joining Ringo the Rabbit who lives down the road with Zoe, Jons girlfriend, George the guinea pig, I am dreading them acquiring a pet called Paul I can't imagine what that new playfriend may be, a pig, a porcupine, a pony or even a pygmy hippopotamus! I first met my new human guardians Linda, Derek, Jon & Paul on Saturday 18th March 2006 just a few weeks since I came into this world on 3 Feb 2006, I am a Lakeland Terrier puppy who was still with mum having seen my 5 brothers and sisters leave for new homes the previous weekend.I was growing up and ready to face the world on my own with some loving new humans to be there for me, so a quick tearful goodbye to mum and off in a car!A bit flipping freezing out there mid March "I can't believe it" anyway I was given plenty of affection during the two hour journey where I think I impressed them with my behaviour, I even pretended I was asleep for part of the trip. We even had two comfort breaks with a drink of water. In my new home at last I was keen to explore and one or two new treats were provided but I was much more interested in making my mark about the place. This was great fun as I was picked up every time, then rather rudely rushed to the back garden still very cold dark and windy out there. I thought I'd then impress having got them trained to clear up a little liquid I'd get my own back for putting me outside with a dollop of the solid stuff, a bit sterner reaction so I though I'd better oblige by completing the business outside. Well rewarded I might try that again. Time for bed a bit of light music in background, a new den with bed and blanket with mum's scent so I would be too homesick. I thought I 'd let them know I wasn't entirely happy by whimpering for a short while then after a very exhausting day I fell asleep. "This seems a good home to have a fun life in."
