Last week Maru and I adopted Khalil, her family’s beautiful 4-year-old Border Collie. He arrived in the UK last Thursday from Argentina and we’re figuring out this dog parenting thing.
Since I’ve known Maru she’s been obsessed with dogs. She’s the type of person that stops at every dog in the street to say hello.
We always had a good reason to not get a dog. We put it in the “future us” bucket.
However, Khalil is special and we’re delighted to be able to look after him as our first dog.
He has the sweetest personality. He’ll chase a ball all day if he could, but also loves being close to his humans. He loves sticking close when we’re at the park and he’s off leash, and he detests having to wipe his feet before entering the flat.
He’s a funny, adorable boy, and we’re very excited to have him with us.
