Introducing Lyric

Well we thought that it was time to actually name Little Miss Purple, and have given her the name Lyric.

The name has been waiting for a LM puppy for a few years now, and it was funny (or strange) that when she was just born and we were checking her over I asked her is she was the long awaited Lyric.
As the horror of dead and weak one puppies unfolded I never got to ask any of the others, it just didn't seem appropriate at all.

When LMP was the only one left, I couldn't bring myself to give her the name.  I wanted to make sure that she was staying with us and not going off with her siblings, on Monday I did start to use the name on her and had planned on sharing the news.  However that evening, we were surprised and disappointed to find that she had put on very little weight.  This continued the following day, and again we were worried about her.

Well yesterday, she made up for the shortfall in weight gain, gaining around 80 grams that day.  This pattern has continued today, and is probably due to Trio being more settled and eating better.

When I got the grooming equipment this afternoon Trio was so excited and came bounding out, she thoroughly enjoyed having a groom.  Loads of coat is being lost at the moment, so I think she really did benefit from this.  She was even keen to have a trip out to meet the girls from the bus, her first walk since having the pups.  She was keen to get back, and made a beeline for Lyric when we returned.  So lovely to see a wagging tail again.
