New Dog… but still no new car…

Chandler

Patrick brought Chandler home yesterday.

Chandler is a lovely 5 year old Golden Retriever and is very well behaved… he even smells nice.

Now I absolutely can’t wait to move to the new apartment so we can take him for lots of walks each day around the lake.

We took him for a walk there this afternoon and I discovered the added bonus of having a large dog… Everybody is too busy staring at him to stare at me! Yay!

We haven’t got the car yet though, I had forgotten that “soon” in China means “Possibly this year”… Still waiting! I look forward to taking Chandler our for drives and discovering all Hefei’s parks.

At the moment Patrick hails a cab while Chandler and I hide behind a bus stop and then we all quickly bundle into the car before the driver can comprehend what is happening and tell us that dogs are not allowed. The drivers are usually stunned into silence when a foreigner AND a great big orange bear of a dog magically materialise, so we generally get away with it.

    Thank-you Johno! I was waiting for your approval on the header image, that was fast. :) I don’t like it as much as the other but thought I should make it a bit more Chinese now we’ve moved!

    omg, Chandler is so adorable. But what happen to getting an ugly pug ? haha.

    Hi Lisa, he is adorable isn’t he!!
    Patrick is mean, bought himself a golden retriever before he bought me my pug. Ugly pug comes next! I think Chandler would enjoy a little bugger to play with…
