New town, new home and a new family member :)
Permalink  

We haven't been online for a while as we've been extremely busy shifting into our new home in a new town, south of and within an hour's drive of Perth (moving sucks! cry ). 

It'll take several more weeks to get things from chaos to what looks like a bit of order.  Fences are complete except for one large gate and lawn to be laid is next on the list.

Whilst I'm at it, I'd like to introduce Charlie, he's been with us for 3 weeks.  Born in Adelaide and he's 11 weeks old and a BIG boy and he'll grow into an even BIGGER boy.  biggrin

Cheers

Neil

Congtat's on the new home, 3 months from now you will be wondering what all the fuss was about, what a cute face on puppy, he will bring you many years of memories and happiness, however you do realise that 6 months from now he will be running the place and have you right where he wants you ??? [ and you won't mind at all ]  Good Luck  Dazren

Congratulations on your new home Neil and Lynne, sounds like you will be busy for awhile. Hope there was plenty of room for the wood working gear!

What type of dog is the pup?

Did you ever stop, look around at everything packed up, the chaos and the mess and wonder why?
You're right. Relocating sucks!
All the best to you and your family in your new home. Lots of "new" in there.

Looks to be a Golden Retreiver Vic. I could be wrong though.

Yep you are right... moving house sucks!! Moving a caravan is a whole different thing though, I like it much better.
Welcome to your new friend Charlie! Eventually when you can get up at night without switching on a light, you'll know you have settled in.

I'm not so sure about the caravan move either. After being parked up for 2 years everything is out where I can grab it when I need it. Then I have to pack it all up where it goes when I travel.
It's a great feeling to back up to that A frame, hitch up, plug and and roll on out of the site and the park.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing the black top in my towing mirrors, and through the windscreen.

You could be right Marj (about the dog) I thought it looked a bit like a Lab, but it seems to have a very furry head. A cross maybe?

Welcome to the south of Perth, we are in the south also.

love the pup, we do not have a dog, restricks us too much when travelling, but a lot of GN's do it with dogs and still enjoy our country.

we do have a pet, her name is Marj (stimpsoni python) she does not come away with us on trips, tried it once but she keeps slipping out of her collarbiggrin

Thank you all for your good wishes.

You're spot on HappyWanderer, he's 100% Golden Retriever. The breeder in S.A. has been fantastic, doesn't mind our 'help!!!!' phone calls asking for advice, she actually welcomes our emails and calls. We did have another Golden but he passed away in 1998 and it's taken us that long to let another one into our lives. :)

Milo, you're welcome to babysit him for another 6 months then give him back when he sleeps through the night. LOL

Hey Wombat we actually moved up to Pinjarra from Bunbury to be closer to family and friends. Bunbury is getting to be really metropolitan like Perth whereas we're in a lovely little community just outside Pinjarra. No more constant traffic noises, heaven!!

Hi Vic, the shed is big enough for the 'woody' stuff but, alas, there is so much other stuff in there too that I can't get to it. :(

Congratulations on the move and the new aquisition, he looks adorable.  Pinjarra is a great place to live If we ever move again I reckon that would be the place we head for.

Fantastic Place, if I had my way I would be living there too JRH. Neil, I can just see you in the shed doing a big clean out.....better ask Lynne first though she might object to just throwing her stuff in the bin but keeping yours, lol !! wink

Dob, Dob, for anyone that doesn't know, Ian does some great woodwork....biggrin

Are they bluetongue Vic. I don't mind any other reptiles, love them all, just not snakes.
I am more worried about getting a snake in the van while travelling than mice.
