Hi ! :)
I'm new here...let me start by saying Frank and Waffles are ridiculously cute!!! We're getting our first ever dog, he's 3 weeks old today so we should get him in about 6 weeks :D Super Super excited...he's a Golden Retriever. Have done loads of reading, organised vets, puppy schools and puppy daycare, spent ridiculous amounts of money on everything puppy related and even imported an awesome crate from the US.
I have two kids 9 and 13 years old who don't know we're getting a puppy, thought it might be nice to surprise them with it...started off not telling them because we wanted to wait till it was all set in stone, now we're thinking it'd be cool to spring it on them :D
