Chapter 4 - April 2009

I saw Bronte again at when she was five weeks old. This time she was interative, curious and quite a bit more active that the rest of the litter, little lazy bones some of them.
We spent some time together, her sussing me out and playing with her litter mates.
It was getting closer to the time I could bring her home and I had to get everthing ready at home. The backyard was being revamped for her, I was having the house painted so it was done and finished and I didn't have to disrupt her settling in, it was all action stations.
Well finally it was time to bring my little princess home. Her breeder brought the whole litter down to Melbourne for there Collie Eye Anomaly test. Thankfully Bronte passed as normal with flying colours. Unfortunately the whole litter got quite car sick on the two hour journey to Melbourne, so poor little Bronte was very weary, a bit sickly feeling and a bit puked on by the time I picked her up.
Luckily she just needed a gentle wipe with a damp face washer to clean her up and a good long sleep. Poor Lara my cat had a bit of a freak out and I eventually found her inside a pillow case, with the pillow, on my bed.
Bronte settled very quickly into her new routine, not really showing too much pining for her brothers and sister. Lara picked up in a couple of days that the new puppy while a little boisterous really just wanted to be her friend and was prepared to back down when Lara wanted peace and quiet.
