Meet Our Newest Family Member


We’ve been back 7 months now, and have just added to  our family of four. Daisy was born 9 March 2012 and has beautiful soft golden curls, black-brown eyes and is gentle yet playful.  At present, she weighs about 4.6kg (10lbs) and is of average height--she's not going to be a 'big' girl. Our girls are over-the-moon with Daisy, and the I think the feeling is mutual.

Daisy is a Poochon pup, which is a cross between a Miniature Poodle and a Bichon Frise.  Their coats are woollen so they don’t shed and are actually hypoallergenic.  Her size makes her an ideal indoor/outdoor dog--she won't get much bigger than she is now.

Yasmine in particular, has always had a soft spot for dogs and has pined for one since we had to find Eddie a new home when we went on our trip.  She's been working on her Dad to get her a new dog since our return.  


So does this mean that we are staying put for a while??  Time will tell.  In the meantime, the girls are enjoying having a pet to care for and to play with, while Mom is kept busy with a new toddler in the house.

  3. Too cute!! I was singing your praises while urging a couple with 2 girls to take a backpacking trip through south india and they may reach out to you for advice. Hope all 5 of you are still enjoying being 'home' :)

    1. Hi Diya!
      There certainly are 'pluses' to being home, but miss the travel lifestyle too, especially the lack of domestic duties ;)

      how's home treating your family? thanks for stopping by!
