Well after months of searching, and then weeks of waiting, we finally brought our new puppy home tonight
We are now the proud owners of a beautiful 8 week old golden bitch called Honey.
So far so good
She spent the first few minutes having a good sniff around, met the cat :twisted: and woolfed down her chicken dinner. We then played for a while before she decided she wanted a kip. She cried out mid-play (I thought she'd hert herself) then promptly trotted off to her crate and fell almost instantly asleep. Is that normal? It was as though by crying out she was telling us 'nice to meet you folks; like the look of my new home and all that but I've got to get some shut-eye!'
She's spent most of the evening asleep in her crate but we've had a few successful 'toilets' on her paper - even waiting and crying at the back door for a number 2 :wink:
I'd just like to thank everyone on COL who have offered me advice and guidance over the last few months. I am sure that I wouldn't be half as equipped as a new owner had it not been for you guys
Look forward to updating and exchanging thoughts with you very soon
All the best
Phil (& Honey!)
