Janet and Gordon meet Beau
Hello, down there
The first meeting is always fascinating to watch, For Janet and Gordon it was bitter sweet they had recently lost their very precious Bolognese Sebastian and only now felt ready to contemplate a new boy in their household. I think it was instant they both homed in on Beau, or did he home in on them.
Do you choose your puppy or do they choose you, I wonder. All I do know is nearly always it is a match made in heaven and instinctively each one knows who is right for them.
Will you look after me and be my new mum please

Sitting Pretty
Beau is a beautiful little boy loving, adventorious and will suit his new family well. I had chosen him especially as he had and important task ahead of him. His new family had lost their first Bolognese Sebastian recently and were devasted, Beau was not a replacement but he will fill that huge gap left behind with his own special magic. He had to be introduced to a very large family cat, who had been Sebastian's close companion over the years - would it work there were to be anxious moments ahead.
This is their first encounter.
Good heavens, What do you smell
what are you like
Which is the right end I'll whisper my name
Now you tell me yours Really!
I think I like you
Hi Janis
After a long and tedious journey we arrived home at about 6 pm. Beau was sick an hour and a half into the journey. He didn't seem anxious at all. The only time we sat up alert was the sound of a police car siren. When our cat met him Beau was in his bed and Wellington looked at him as if to say: "My Sebby, what launderette did they send you to?" When Beau saw Wellington in the garden Beau let out an enormous sound as if he was a German Shepherd rather than a Bolognese puppy. Wellington took off and landed on the shed roof.. Both were scared of each other. Later Wellington came and sat on the sofa. He kissed Beau and they sat on the sofa together. It was beautiful to watch and made me cry. I think they are going to be good friends. The weather was awful yesterday evening. Teeming with rain and our grass was absolutely saturated but bless him he did his wees on the grass. We felt it was most important that he learnt where to go immediately he arrived in his new home so we stood in the rain with him. Beau cried and howled when we put him in his crate in the kitchen so we took the crate up into our bedroom and he cried and howled for a while but settled . He awoke at 4 am and I took him into the garden where in pooed and peed. We all got up at 8 and he has been eating and playing and exploring each room. He follows us everywhere and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. He is quite a character and congratulations to you for breeding such a beautiful little creature. As I type this he is curled up on my lap and sleeping quite contentedly.
Janet
