So, another person has opted for the best dog in the world - a chocolate Labrador – yes, Emma Bunton, we salute your choice!
Or do we? I wonder, did Emma have any say in the matter when boyfriend Jade Jones surprised her with a gift of a dog (very high risk strategy and not to be recommended, to be honest)? If she did, well done her. If not, well done Jade.
Yes, Emma and new pup, Phoebe (named after Phoebe in Friends - don't quite get the link) will be enjoying fun and frolics in the park before their world is shattered with the arrival of...a baby. (Emma is pregnant, hence the arrival of a puppy to “practise parenting skills”.)
Most dog experts will advise to wait until the baby is born before bringing a dog into the family. Because, that way, the dog has nothing to be jealous of - well, that's the theory.
I wish Emma and her growing family well; I hope they realise what they've taken on. A chocolate Labrador is not low maintenance – particularly a young one - and, when you've just had a baby, the last thing you feel like doing is going for a long walk!
Woof Woof
