In the spirit of Eza, ONE DAY TO GO!

Puppy pen has been delivered today. I also want(ed) to get a crate but my father wasn't keen so that will have to wait until I can properly espouse the benefits to both parents (Mum doesn't know little dude is on his way).

I am printing puppy raising materials for them so they have good advice and don't listen to stupidly from friends, and I also have a list of good puppy/senior puppy classes, with location details and starting dates.

Our VB kindly forwarded me info about some excellent puppy related apps. Everyone should get their paws on the Sound Proof Puppy Training and DogDecoder apps. The latter is more for people who can't read dog very well, but the first is great for everyone. I also have Sophia Yin's socialisation checklist. Having a dog with anxiety disorders I am keen for puppy not to develop problems. Mr PK keeps reminding me that genetics plays a big part which I know full well, but oh boy does it scare me anyway. :eek:

It is very hard to get good pictures, you think he's still then he wiggles! The one I posted a page or so ago is probably best, lol.

But here he is with his presents from my dog, Malcolm, because regular food bowls are boring. The Kong quickly became his favourite toy followed by kibble itself. Who knew kibble was a toy let alone such a fantastic one? I certainly didn't, but apparently it is a lot of fun to flick it around and fetch! :laugh:

Adorable! Is your Mum pleased?

She's very happy. She's been wanting a toy poodle for a very long time and terribly missed having a dog of her own. She's a bit like me though, in that even if something is a GOOD surprise she just needs a little time to wrap her head around it. She might also be feeling a tinge of sadness for our late papillon. When I finally chose Malcolm after looking at dogs for a while I was very happy but sad at the same time and cried a bit. She really is thrilled though, she was so excited when I opened Malcolm's carrier and the little tike came out instead! It was adorable. :D

The puppy took strongly to me at first which is not much of a surprise, but he's settling. Dad sent me a photo last night of her on the lounge, sleeping puppy in her arms and a wine glass in hand and the other navigating Facebook. So Mum. :laugh:

I can join this thread now too, on the 6th of August Fozzie the Frenchie will be joining our family I lost my pom cross Shannon 5 years ago this September 14th and I am finally ready for an inside dog. Azure the Anatolian and Wolff the Central Asian Shepherd won't know what hit them. Luckily my neighbour has just gotten an 8 week old mini Schnauzer so Fozzie and Frederick will have regular play dates
