Out with the old and in with the new?
Yes, out with old worries, grudges and bad habits
As long as you’re not replacing them with new ones.
As for us, we have something new for the New Year —
Meet Ruby, Oscar’s great-granddaughter.
We’re fostering her for a few months before she’s due to go off to the breeders again for another litter of puppies.
As for the old —
Well, Oscar makes life golden with his sweet, white face
And humour and grace.
He doesn’t really have white hair – these are his wisdom highlights!
Wishing you all a new year filled with light, strength, beauty, good health and laughter.
For more good wishes, please visit: Our World Tuesday.

Oh Fi, she’s gorgeous! Good luck sending her back – I know I would never be able to resist those eyes. Hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year with Miss Ruby Tuesday. And special wishes for dear Oscar.

The plan is that she comes back to us after she’s had her pups!

That sounds like a brilliant plan! Welcome little Ruby (a perfect name for your little red haired princess). I wonder if she’s inherited the Oscar winning swimming-in-all-temperatures gene 🙂
