In just over 24 hours we will be travelling to the airport in great anticipation of the arrival of our new pup
"LEXI".
Lexi was born on the 1st December 2013 - one in a litter of seven puppies - bred by Marycke Ackhurst, and is now eight weeks old.
She will be flying "Kulula Airlines" and we will welcome her at Lanseria airport at 14h10 tomorrow afternoon.
Lorraine (my dear friend) and 'The Boss' will also be at the airport - to welcome, to help and (hopefully) to take many photographs.
In the meantime, we have been preparing...
Getting ready for an active and happy little Golden bundle is no easy feat.

This particular product, although very expensive, is highly recommended to calm and comfort dogs in stressful situations.
LEXI will be fed on HILLS PET NUTRITION: Puppy
Last night, we received such pretty puppy pictures. Little Lexi will soon be saying "Goodbye" to her siblings, her Mommy 'Emmi' and the puppies' breeders Marycke and Wayne Ackhurst. I know Marycke's heart is heavy with the prospect of saying "Goodbye", but she can be reassured that this particular puppy is flying towards a life of Golden luxury.
Last night, the puppies spent time playing with their new, 'go home' toys.
Apparently it was a Golden frenzy of fun and delight. Lexi joined in the fun...
The pack here at home is also ready...
Travel well, little Princess!
Many, many thanks Marycke for your love and care of these precious little ones.
You deserve a medal for your compassion, care, professionalism, knowledge, advice, focus, determination and commitment towards the welfare of Golden Retrievers in general.
I (and the Goldens) am very, very grateful! Thank you!
With love

Sounds like you have everything ready for Lexi! Don't forget to tire Toby out in the morning (perhaps an extra long walk) as Riley was so excited when Enzo arrived he almost jumped on top of him!
Wishing you all the best for Friday.
