FD26

And does he not have insurance, didles?

Oh my god, didles...this is not your lucky week, is it? :hugs: I hope everything sorts itself out!

Jaxd - no I wish! lol, picking him up from the airport on Monday lunchtime. Picking the OH up from the airport tonight though, so that's exciting lol. Glad your little guy slept through the night for you! Didles - how exciting, I can't wait to hear about how the kids react! Littlehoot - one more day, right?

Oh how exciting didles! It's such a relief when you feel like you've made the right choice, isn't it?

Melon is like that, too. In fact when she wants anything she wants it now

Siamese cat dog or so she thinks..

"But mummy, I thought we were getting a dog"

She's gorgeous, didles. But she doesn't look 1 week old? ;)

How exciting!! 4 days left here! Got the crate together last night, it's much bigger than I thought it would be lol, not sure if it's going to fit in the bedroom. I also have to figure out how to partition it. Aslo bought the dog bed with shade from dealsdirect, but after a few cut fingers and many unsound words I decided I'd leave that one til my partner gets home on Saturday morning ;)

Nah Jax, don't leave. Maybe we need to start a new thread "Just got your puppy" or something I wonder where Jesslivedie is, haven't seen her in ages after she started the thread..

I would dob them in for that aswell So if you add up the Frenchies and Bulldogs that 26 puppies x $2000 = $52,000 I would too, doesn't centrelink have a fraud line? You probably don't need to give them very much information to cause an investigation. These people knew before Monday, didn't they Didles? Or at the very least BY Monday. What a disgrace not to call the people who they'd sent puppies to straight away! That's surely what I would be doing. I'd be doing everything I could to ensure they don't get away with it.

Wow you are on the ball! lol 5 days left for us. I reckon I'll count down on here every day I'm that excited lol

It's so exciting! I haven't found a job yet (been searching for a few weeks), which I'm relieved about as it means I get to stay home with him hehe. I actually got a call for an interview today and they wanted to do it on MONDAY! I felt a bit silly saying I couldn't because I'd be picking a puppy up from the airport lol, but it'll be Tuesday now. Can't wait to compare pics with ya! Wuffles, what a cutie! I love her colour/markings, just gorgeous!

Didles, I don't know if it will be helpful, but remember you can broaden your search if you want. We only have one local breeder who isn't having pups for quite some time, so we had to look interstate. It opened it up and we were able to find the best breeder we could without having to wait ages.

6 days left! I'm actually turning from excited to nervous now, lol. It's always been such a long wait that it didn't quite feel real. Now I'm going into mini-panic mode and wondering how he'll get along with the cats, and how we're going to go keeping him mosty inside...anyone else feel this as it got closer? Didles - any luck on your breeder hunting? ETA: We had 3 different pups fall through before we got this one! So I know how frustrating it can be. The situations weren't nearly as bad as yours, but it was still a rollercoaster ride for everyone!!

On the topic of kongs...are the puppy kongs worth getting? Is there any difference really, should I just get a normal one?

I bought more things today while out shopping for my son's birthday I got him a little blanket for his crate, a few toys, a lead, and some tennis balls (although I'm sure I have some around here somewhere lol). Think I'll try and hold off now til he gets here, aside from his food. Cause I'm sending us broke 7 days to go...so excited!

Oh gosh, what a pain!! Wonder what state the poor pups were living in then I hope you can get your deposit back and find a good breeder in the near future!

Did hubby ask why he was at the vet? Perhaps you can ask for the vet's phone number as well and give them a ring to see what's happening. I imagine that should be fairly standard anyway. I would think all sorts of things could go wrong when they're pups? Hope he's better for you soon.

We may show him. It's our first time considering it though so we'll see how it goes in a few months.

Woohoo! How exciting. How'd the first day go? He's a cutie

yes! I went to petbarn to get some cat food today and left with a few bones and a car harness. When I ordered his crate the other day I ended up getting a bed as well. I'm sure there'll be a lot more between now and next week, too.. ;) I think we have most of the things we need. Just waiting for the crate/bed to show up which should happen this week. I want to get him a few more toys, and I'll need to get his food but forgot to ask what he's eating so I'll do that later on. When we lost our last pup we'd just ordered him a collar and name tag...they showed up while we were burying him After a bit of thought we have decided to use them for this pup, but I think that may make for a hard moment. It's my son's birthday on Saturday so we're flat out financially trying to organize his party/presents and get all this puppy stuff lol, bit of a stresser! Oh well, both will be worth it in the end. Oh, and we're getting a staffy.

Yes he is cutie FD 26 Very exciting. Yes we have been to Tamworth before but a long time ago. Whereabouts is your little guy coming from? My old cat lives in Tamworth Our guy is coming from QLD.

I would notify the council for sure. Don't expect her to pay to get the microchip, but at least let them know all that's happened. Thanks...should I be notifying the council that I bought her in? Not the one I live in? Hmm, I guess I'd be contacting the one where she lives.

My OH is a softy too. Good thing, means he gets the 5am potty runs lol.
