Anyone had Puppies? Part 1

[JanieB]

As I said before, Bessie will from now on start to disassociate herself. She will still look after them but will try to hide from their persistent want of milk from her. As to them still recognising their siblings later, my two are siblings from the same litter. I had Holly at 6 weeks as her mum was no longer interested. Prince went to the daughter of a friend of mine who found she was pregnant and decided she couldn't cope with a puppy and a baby. As we were friends the two pups had seen each other often enough to remember.

When Princes owner wanted to send him to Blue Cross I offered to take him on but could they hang on to him 'til Holly finished her first season.

He's a lovely, intelligent dog. Holly is too but she's very mummyish.

I'm currently sat in a pub with them, they are a big hit with any children and very well behaved. I love the daily fix and it reminds me of how my two once were. See my avatar for Holly.

Have you made up your mind which is your first choice to keep VC???
(Is it Spud?)

Beautiful!

[Jeanied]

So you have a neighbour wanting one of the black girls, two others go to this new offer and one for you VC - so you just have to re home one puppy! I am sure it won't be long before that happens

[Bren In Pots]

I know as aunties we're not supposed to have favourites but mines Spud

I must check with the neighbour as its their s-in-law who wants a pup - and I haven't heard anything since Christmas.

As to which is my favourite - I'll wait to see which one is left over - but if its Spud or Bear, I'll be very happy - only because they have such amazing fur - like plush/chenille, and a cheeky, bounce

[Scarlet]

Oh, you will miss them when their gone VC.

We won't tell Bren they will never know!

[Mikey]

They are all fab, though I have to admit a soft spot for Nellie.

[veggiechicken]

Which soft spot is that Mikey?

[Mikey]

Cheeky mare!!

It's the bit around the middle that she chose to have a nap on.

[Jeanied]

To everyone that has just one dog, I have to say life improves for the dog and for you when you get two!

[Mikey]

Not sure that's always true jeanied, what if dog two is anxious, nervous or aggressive?

[Scarlet]

I think it depends on the breed or the dog. Everyone told me to have another dog when my old Dog Bob was about 10 but although we looked after several other dogs throughout the years, neighbours dog was more often with us ! I know that the times it was just him were the ones he preferred. He was much calmer.

[Tripmeup]

They have got so big, so quickly VC...
I know you'll miss them, but think of all the time you'll get back... Maybe

We take Max's father walking with us from time to time but, he just teaches max bad habits like whining in the car and licking the glass, I'm not impressed. The good habits like swimming he doesn't pick up though!!
