She is a cute little button! I love that you're thinking rationally about her future. Puppies are as much of a commitment and responsibility as a kid, and you sir are a VERY busy man! I'm thinking one of your neighbors, with the sheep as you said, might be missing her. I love how far you've progressed since deciding to keep the house and land earlier this year. Having made the decision really spurred you on! Well done!

what a beautiful girl.... I think the Obamas were gifted a dog same brand, sounds like a great family dog... she's so cute...slightly too quiet for a pup... she looks so easy to love but we don't have the responsibility.... isn't it sad how they're totally at our mercy and by he look of her she accepts you straight away... she knows her fate is in your hands. She looks like Burt... Everything's coming along so nicely and now the road ahead is clearer in the mind... design, plans, windows ... its all looking great Andy. The universe has its plan too :) Have a fabulous weekend x

The puppy looks sick to me. Eyes are not clear and lethargic. Needs checking out with the vet as probably has a gut parasite overload. If you can’t find a good owner for it (maybe your brother and sister in law?) I would not be able to let her go to a bad life. You could look after her for them if they went away and your two would help with training. Build is starting to take shape now and the work you do makes a big visual difference. Good for the soul to see results.

Hello Andy. Fantastic progress on your house!!! Glad you’re wearing protective gear (although flip flops made an appearance 😅). Thank you for update on cistern. Nice to know you put it to good use. As for the puppy, I can’t help thinking that it is fate that brought you together. If she’s a Portuguese water dog, you have all the elements within your property to make her, your boys and you happy. I can feel your dilemma though. She will be higher maintenance with her hair to prevent matting too and, of course, more vet bills. It must be your decision and yours alone. I’m glad I’m not in your shoes. Please find her a good home if you choose not to keep her. She seems very young and still in need of milk. Best of luck.

Pretty good job Andy , the works are going on well . About the puppy wathever you do with her, you you should bring her to a "refugio animalar" near you ( maybe Sao Bras ) for an examination by a veterinar ( it's free ) . We did it in Tavira last month with the ............4 kitties + mother that arrived one by one during three weeks in my garden . You are not obliged to give your name even if you keep it and she will have a chip with her name . Keep on working winter will arrive .
