My advice to you is concentrate on Christmas as it'll help the time go quicker  ;)

Then make the rooms that your new addition will be in safe for a very inquisitive toddler / crawling baby and that way you should have most things out of harms way  :D

Blimey 6 weeks to wait - I don't know how you lot choose a litter and then have to wait  :shades: With Fern I saw her as her littermates were going to their new homes, we weren't meant to be having one and hey presto 2 days later she came home with us  :005:

Then with Braan (rescue at 14 weeks old) I was told about him on the Monday said no I'm not having him on the Thursday lunch time and then (after a call on Thurs night) friday night I went and got him  :005:
So as you can see I never wait long :005: so don't know how you are going to manage as I definately couldn't  :embarassed:

Looking forward to seeing pics of Jaffa  :D

Me too! I'm a doggy mummy in waiting too! Only 2 weeks for me though! I've been waiting for my very own dog now for about 20 years so to say I'm a little excited may be a bit of an understatement!

Don't worry the xmas hols will make the time go quicker! I've just been busying myself  and trying to make the most of my freedom until my little man arrives! :D

I had to wait two weeks for Barney and that seemed for ever!
At least Christmas will keep you busy. Hopefully you can visit him over the next six weeks. :-\
Can't wait to see him.

I think I'd go insane having to wait 6 weeks!  Either that or I'd have exhausted our bank account shopping for the new arrival  :005:

With Mindy we spent 2 weeks looking for the right pup, saw her & brought her home a week later - that wait was agony.  With Darby we decided Friday night we definately wanted another, saw her Tuesday & brought her home the same day.  With Dex we heard about him Saturday afternoon & had him home by the evening  :luv:

Hope the time goes quickly for you.  At least you won't having to fight to keep your Christmas tree up :lol2: and once Christmas is over & most of us are feeling depressed you'll have something fantastic to look forward to  :luv:

I counted sleeps until I could bring Paddy home  :005:
The 1st morning we had him, I got up at 6, went down stairs and gently pushed open the lounge door. He was asleep in his crate and he stood up and yawned. Remember that feeling when you were a child and you went downstairs xmas morning, you opened the door and thought 'He's been  :blink:',
Santa had been and left your prezzies, thats the nearest I've ever got to that feeling again  :005: Feels like xmas every morning when I see his little face  :blink:
