Blythe at eight weeks:

                         

Blythe is the newest member of our family; we brought her home to live with us on the 5th of December 2008. I was lucky enough to witness Blythe's birth, and then to see her at least once, and often twice, each week as she was growing up with her brothers and sister. Although she has only been with us for a short time, it feels like she has been part of the family for much longer as she has slipped so easily into our existing 'pack'. Blythe is a very beautiful, charismatic, chunky puppy who is growing by the day and learning just as fast. She and Hermione instantly became best friends on her arrival home, and they are rarely apart, whether eating, sleeping or playing. Blythe is a very clever little girl, just like her mum and dad, and has that look of mischief in her eyes that lets us know that we are in for a lot of fun over the next eighteen months or so, as she grows up. We are all enjoying having another puppy in the house for now, and are looking forward to accompanying Blythe as she embarks upon her show career early next Summer. We cannot thank Steve, Sandra and Adam enough for allowing us to bring our own little Blithe Spirit into our family.
