21/09/11 - Dog Day

Today we went to pick up the dog from the Spanish Embassy, he was sitting in their garage waiting for us with the gardener who looked after him most of the time. We were presented with a 50lb bag of food, two batter bowls that had been run over at various times by delivery vans and cars, an awful lot of shampoo and one dog who was in desperate need of a bath. The dog's name was Bosco but we decided that wasn't a very good name so we are going to see what suits him better. He didn't come with a collar and his lead was broken so on the way back home we stopped off to buy a new collar and lead. The only problem is that Doggy is a big dog and the collars had a maximum size of 16 inches, we did get a lead however it was for 'ooh la la pooches,' not exactly 90lb Labradors!
When we got back home we considered some new names - eventually we narrowed it down to three; Arran, Harris and Lewis all of which are Scottish islands. He responded best to Arran, and as it was the name that got the most votes we decided to call him Arran!
