It's funny how days never quite turn out the way you expected them to... Here was a snuggled up to my brothers and sisters, wondering who had wee'd on my tail, when all of a sudden we were met by a couple of strangers, one of which seemed to be holding a large toy.
Of course, instantly we all lept up, wagged our tails like our life depended on it and clammered to be at the front of the pen. Now, I personally felt like continuing my rather cosy kip, but every puppy knows then when prospective new owners come along, you don't want to be the one in the corner.
Anyway, they seemed very pleased to see us - the girl was particularly impressed with our cuteness, which we did our best to emphasise! I wasn't so sure about the man, he kept looking at our eyes and noses in a very suspicious way, and I am sure he had more than one glance at our tails and bottoms too! Cheeky so and so, does he think we are some sort of dirty creature?
The humans had quite a chat, and I am certain I overheard some mention of even smaller (maybe even cuter) puppies in the main house. This caused great alarm in the pen and we all agreed to go into cute overdrive to ensure we were picked. Several of us got a cuddle. I was bursting for a wee and hoped that I wouldn't get picked up before I had had chance to sneak into the corner.... Never a good idea to wee on a prospective new owner!
They spent some time admiring us all and then finally decided to go for a girl puppy - it was clear then it was a two way scramble to the finish. My and my sister were thrust into their faces and asked to choose. I did the big eye thing, and it seemed to be working a treat, but a glance over at my sister filled me with horror - she was doing the eye thing and turning her head to one side too! I thought about a cute yawn or a little whimper but I was stopped in my tracks when the big toy the gir
l human was holding started to move and giggle - it was one of those human puppies! He seemed to like me! The big humans seemed happy that he liked us both but still couldn't decide. Then at the last minute they noticed my white toe and seemed to find it rather sweet (very odd!) and that seemed to swing it!

It turns out that they have decided to call me Molly. I kind of like the name Molly - doesn't sound like a name that can be used in a cross way when I have eaten their shoe....
Unfortunately, I can't go home with them for a couple of weeks, so I was back in the pen... Everyone seemed very pleased for me and agreed that as far as humans go, they looked OK! Maybe they will come to visit me again soon...
Right I must stop now, time for a snooze.....
