The patter of NOT so tiny paws!

And the smell of puppy breath is overwhelming.

I'll get a few more individual shots as and when I can.

 

Can you bottle it, Vince?

I remember as a small child walking up the High Street past the pet shop; in the window there was always a litter of pups (or so it seemed then). I could stand for hours and gaze/inhale/gaze/inhale.

 

It is addictive isn't it, alas can't bottle it, be a trillionaire if you could?

Now it looks like Amber might be coming into season, she had a litter last year, duly hijacked by Shadow, so going to be hectic here keeping the girls and boys separated as can't breed from Amber until next year.......


...... Good job we're dog mad here?

 

Can't breed from Arwen either, not had her health tests done yet

 

So cute, thanks Vince.

Pet shops should NOT sell puppies, they are from puppy mills --horrid places.

 

My reference was to many, many years ago when I was a small child, Redstar. You don't see that anymore

 

That is good. They, unfortunately, are still around in few places in America. And there are still the puppy mills.

 

We call them puppy farms here Redstar.

 

Horrid also, same situation then.

 

Nearly time for Shadow and the pups to move home, to the downstairs pen!

I got greeted this evening with a "nip" to the nose, drew blood but not malicious, I think Shadow want's a bit more fuss and time from me, she's my girlie afterall?

Yeah, she did get told off, I knew it was affection but do that in public with someone else and she gets a death sentence?

Pups are finding their legs, not long now before they're running riot!

 

A fun time ahead then Vince. Good luck!

 

Regular reports please Vince , and hope fully a few pics soon ?

 

Will do Harry.

Shadow almost went through the night, 5:30am before she woke me up for a toilet break this morning, hopefully the 2 - 3am toilet breaks are behind us now?

 

Just spent 1/2 hour curled up with the puppies in their pen, their socialising starts NOW... Shadow was confused but after the last issue, didn't complain!
