Well done Mitzie.

That's really good news. Your going to have your hands full

Good stuff but there’s something missing, do we need Zippy to say it? No broadband isn’t an excuse LoL.

Great news mate

Not really my kind of dog breed, but pups are always fun

Congratulations!

We just got a puppy at work, when she’s older she will be trained for Search and Rescue. She’s a little Springer Spaniel, photos look great of her. As Paraclar says puppies are always fun.

So nice to know the recent disturbances haven’t upset the dog. Now you can both enjoy some great times but they’ll be hard work I’m sure.

Congratulations!

We had German Shepherds for 30 years but with our advancing age we just found them too much to exercise etc.
We had our first Chihuahua back in 2000 ish whilst our Belgian Shepherd "George"was still alive before they became a fashion accessory.
I was quite surprised to find that ours are not snappy little noisy cretins but are more like a large dog trapped in a small body. I guess dog temperament is more nurture than nature in our experience.
The birth yesterday has brought a lot of joy to our household after the fire. We said at the onset that we wanted to keep one bitch out of the litter but we will probably keep the dog that took some saving when he was born.
The light coloured bitch is "Lilly" named after my mother-in-law who died in January. The brown coloured male is called "Half-pint" due to him being the smallest who took some reviving when he was born.
The black coloured male is "Norman" named after my father-in-law who has had Prostate Cancer for the last two years. He is about to start Palliative Care Chemo in a few weeks as it has spread into his spine & lymph glands.

We took them to the Vets yesterday as two of the Pups had some lumps on their skin felt like a mole or skin tag. Turns out they were scabs from small bite marks where Mum had been a bit rough with them when they were searching for her Nipples ! lol

[jims-terrano]

Great to hear they are doing so well. How long before they open their eyes
