Hi all
I've made a few comments around the place, but I haven't actually introduced my boys yet, so here it goes!!
This is our blue heeler/kelpie cross, his name is Dog (my husband's dream was to have a dog called Dog. So random, but I'm used to it now...)
This is our spoodle (or cockapoo for all you Americans

) His name is Cupcake
Here's a pic of the boys together
These pics are a few months old, so the boys have grown a bit since they were taken... just couldn't find my most recent ones!
We did buy them from a pet shop back in February, being uneducated. However Dog at least came from a local breeder who was friends with the pet shop owner. Cupcake, I've learnt, is a product of a puppy mill.
They'll be a year old at the end of the year, and they're just so amazing. My husband and I had been desperate to get dogs for a couple of years - we both grew up with plenty of dogs in our respective families.
Hope I can learn from y'all while I'm here, and maybe offer some input here and there too.
