2010 YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread.

Can't have her Angie, she is all mine  .  Her name is Maggi and as she is very smart, full of fun and beautiful as well I think it suits her perfectly  .

Didn't think you would part with her and yes Maggi suits her perfect. Our Maggi surely hasn't seen her yet, she will fall in love with her like everyone has. Will look forward to more pictures of her soon.

Angie

[Lesley Cox]

I agree she doesn't look sad, she's just realizing the world of full of all kinds of doggie delights, to pounce upon, to eat or chew, to discover and explore and to DIG UP! (or bury).

[Gunilla]

I agree, she looks like a Basenji but I can assure you she knows how to bark .  She is a smooth collie, 9 weeks old.  
We lost our two old collie bitches in less than two years and have missed them very much.  It's so good to have a puppy in the house again.  

She is digging and chewing her way through my garden and are attacking my tulips at the moment. It is a big world out there to explore.

Hi Anthony,yes the ashes and with a bit of luck you won't be smiling in 8 months time .
I am smiling again as our girls won the womens 20/20 competition at the expense of the Kiwis .
bye Ray

[Ragged Robin]

Gunilla, It's great to see that you have such a lovely puppy to share your garden with and walking, I'm sure. She has a really sweet look in her eye - I bet your grandchildren are over the moon too

All right, all right.

I had looked at Maggi (M) and thought she was older than 9 weeks but looking again and at the pot nearby I can see she is still small and a baby. Collies here tend to be black and white and used as sheep dogs so I didn't make that connection either. She will be the darling of your heart for years to come.

[Maggi Young]

I am filled with delight at the thought that my name is shared with this gorgeous young creature, Maggi in Sweden. I believe I see great wisdom in those eyes of hers ( well, I would say that, wouldn't I?!  ) and little Maggi will surely prove a fine and faithful friend to Gunilla and her family.  She will be a big strong girl, if  the size of those paws is an indication ... and Smooth Collies are quite sizeable dogs.
They are so rare around here.... mind you, even the Rough Collies are not that plentiful ......I cannot remember when I last saw a Smooth in Aberdeen.

Yes, happiness IS a warm puppy.... even if the puppy is ancient!

[Anthony Darby]

I'm all for warm puppies too.

I thought I had killed off my Lilium souliei seedlings last year, but there's three of them poking up in the pot!

[Rogan]

This may seem to be vanishingly insignificant to most, but I finally managed to flower a Crocus from seed after many years of trying - I am now officially a Croconut! I live in a very Crocus-unfriendly climate - not enough cold weather and far too many Crocus-hungry pathogens. Anyway, my C. goulimyi seedlings (ex JJA) produced a flower unexpectedly and it was great - what a beauty!    

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Many congrats Rogan !!
Welcome to the Croconut Club !! 

[Lesley Cox]

Well done Rogan. You'll be nutty as the rest of us in no time.

And I'm so happy that I have not yet got around to commissioning a doggy brooch from Foxgloves.... because now that Poppy has joined the family I want a double westie brooch instead!!
