Buckley Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 she is so adorable <3 Thanks spitzbaby, we are taking her (and Ringo) to the beach for the first time today, I can't wait. Awww do they get to play in the water? it's a lil cold here where I am though xD any photos? photos? and more photos? Hi all, I'm a total newbie, so I figured I'd start in this post seeming as I found my puppy through this very website :DIt's been 5 long weeks now since I first met 7 squirming little Welsh Pembroke Corgi pups, one of which I get to keep. Nearly two months ago, my Corgi X, Shandy, passed away. She was turning 15 this year. It was absolutely devastating, especially because it was so unexpected (she ran under a family friend's car) and for her age, she was doing so well. She was losing her hearing a little (I think that's why she didn't hear the car), but other than that she was fine. She was my childhood companion, my best friend, and it still hurts thinking about the fact that she's gone. I just never thought (or wanted to think) that she would ever leave us. Whilst I'll always miss Shandy, I knew that it I couldn't live without another little friend to look after, which is why I did some extensive research and found a reputable breeder to get my little boy from I'm getting him next Sunday, so I'm pretty excited as you may expect! Hi Buckley! welcome.. I'm new here too and also waiting on my baby boy Mine won't be coming home with me as soon as yours though.. but I'm already excited.. can't imagine how it feels for you.. remember to take photos and show us :D Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll be sure to take many photos ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verdant Amphibian Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Aww so many beautiful puppies! I have been rather slack posting photos. Bjorn came home on saturday and he's settled in beautifully. He's sleeping well, responding well to training and is just a sweet, gentle confident little thing. He did very well at puppy preschool on tuesday night, the trainer commented on how confident and placid he was in my arms and he played really well with the other dogs - very full on but not rough. I thought he did particularly well since he'd only had a lead on that morning and all the other puppies were 12-16 weeks compared to his 8. He loves going outside which is making toilet training that much easier "Pinebark is awesome Mummy." "Geez, don't panic I'll spit it out." "Wow what's that?" "Hey this one drops food! Daddy didn't think that through." Kirby, Evie and Bjorn on The Kitty Tower of Doom. Evie got stuck since Bjorn fell asleep there. They've now taken to sleeping in Ava's cot since he's nearly always under the scratching post now. I told them he'd be too big soon but it didn't seems to comfort them much Edited June 30, 2010 by Verdant Amphibian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornell Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) VA- Whow - your photos are awesome. Bjorn looks like he is going to be a great addition to your gorgeous family. It's so much fun to watch your puppy explore things for the first time. Thanks for sharing them Evo - Looks like a definite winner to me - Congratulations !!!! How long now QBF??? Clasic - What a wuzzie - you must be so pleased Edited July 1, 2010 by cornell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccamli Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Well, it's been a long wait but we're due to pick up our new Border Collie pup on Saturday. We had our name down on a waiting list before puppy was even conceived! We (for we, read my better half) has decided the dog is going to be an outside sleeper. Call me soft but I'm a bit concerned about leaving the 8 week old pup outside in the cold of winter ( we live in Perth so it will get down to about 4 or 5 degrees). We've got a nice kennel which will be under cover and fairly sheltered from the worst of the wind. We will have a nice soft bed for him to lie on inside the kennel. Am I just being soft? After all, I've seen eight below and they seemed ok ;-). Is 5 degrees cold for an 8 week old border collie pup??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my dogs sleep on the bed with me... one sleeps under the covers so he can have some of the electric blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickbrownfox Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 How long now QBF??? Hi cornell! Lovely photo of Hudson I hope he is settling in well and not causing too much trouble! I will be picking up my little boy from the airport on the 24th Hopefully I get to choose my pup very soon. 4 weeks old: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickbrownfox Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Also I thought this was too cute not to post: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornell Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 QBF - Wow what an agonising wait for you as it feels as though you have waited been waiting for so long already! It is an anxious time knowing that your family is so ready but the pup has not fully developed yet. At least you have the most amazing photos to coo over. I must say the visit to the airport is incredibly exciting - like going to the hospital for an adoption. Hudson is definitely a live wire - quite the opposite to our older girl. Fortunately for us he can also be sweet and charming which kinda makes up for his shockingly cheeky antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
