It’s been a very busy time just recently in the house of Frost, and as the title of this post suggests…we have a new member of the family. I would just like to state here and now that No, I have not given birth again, our new addition is of the four legged variety.
Introducing Ruby, our new standard schnauzer….*drum roll*

We had been looking for a dog for some time, so have spent much of this year researching various breeds, and we decided on the standard schnauzer. You don’t see many of them about these days, plenty of minature schnazers, and a few of the giant variety but not many standards. Anyway, enough of the technical stuff, she is here and settling in very nicely indeed.
The children, especially Matthew, are very much taken with her. Jack likes her and puts his hands on her, but she has taken to pulling his socks off with her teeth and nibbling his toes and he is highly unamused at that! However, I am ensuring they are getting some time to bond when Ruby is in a calm mood and I am there to supervise the goings on. It’s quite funny, but Ruby seemed to sense Jack was different the first time she met him – she just has to learn now that he can’t chase about with her like the other two can.
Apart from our canine addition, there isn’t much else to write about – all things as normal.
