Mischka or Manuka?

After deliberating for several weeks, we finally took the plunge, and added this little baby to our family

Our darling 3-month old english cocker spaniel!

Getting her ready to be brought home - a puppy shampoo, 5 mins under the dryer and some powder had her smelling sweet :)

Pitstop at mum's place before we head home

She was pretty well-behaved, and only woke up to whine a little a couple of times in the night. But we ignored her as much as we could. It was heartbreaking, though, to hear her whimpering, and yet not be able to cuddle her. Sigh... you have to be cruel, only to be kind. But she's a strong girl! She made it through the night and woke up with a ravenous appetite, wolfed down her baby share of puppy food in no time at all. I'm so glad she's eating well and we didn't have to resort to the tinned food the pet store gave us for "just-in-case".

We missed her so much, we came home during lunch break to check in on her and she was thankfully fine, except for a bit of poo-mess. Toilet training her is tough! I hope it doesn't take too long more... =S

But for now... we need to decide on her name... What do you think? Mischka or Manuka?
