Benny – 7wk old Terrier x puppy **HOMED**

[dianneh]

This little bundle arrived this afternoon.
What can I say,Benny is tiny and so cute.

Crying a bit on arrival but quickly quietened when he met my gang.They did not know what to make of him trying to nip their feet.A bit wobbly on his back legs if they even touch a toy.

He was reluctant to have eye contact but will briefly already.Plays with toys even those that squeak.Loves cuddles too.
Ate well but needs it well soaked.
Had a sleep and is now playing in the kitchen happily.
Off to the vet tomorrow for puppy check,weighing and to get worming treatment.
Whoever gets Benny will be very lucky.
One photo is with my inquisitive small to medium Sheltie to show how tiny Benny is.I tried putting him beside the remote control but he was too active which is great to see.

He’s a heart breaker for sure! Love the photo of the inquisitive Sheltie – good size comparison!

Benny had a great 1st night sleeping from 22.00 till I got up at 6.30.
No crying or noise at all.He slept in a small bed with a fleece in a crate and he used the puppy pad.Toilet training not good but he is only young and tiny and would have had no previous training.He did wee in the garden after his afternoon nap.
Outgoing for his size and is not fazed by my 4 at all.Teething and chewing at anything in reach.
Eating,drinking,playing and sleeping well and much better eye contact today.
Was at the vets this morning and weighs 1.7 kgs.Benny had his first vaccines and was treated in case of worms and fleas.He cried briefly but quickly wagged his tail again,he also cried when I tried to put a collar on him so I left it off for now as he has been through enough over the last few days. He has over riding of his jaw so his front teeth overlap completely but the vet said it should not be a problem.
The vet thinks he is 7-8 weeks old and may have border terrier in him.He has terrier behaviour already hoarding the toys in his bed and if you give him a piece of his dog food he moves away or turns his back,he also puts his front paws on top of the ball and tries to balance.

His parents may well have been heinz variety too.
Everyone who has met thinks he is sooo cute.

Very cute and very small.
I cannot see any hint of Boxer in this tiny tot.
I think the vet is close with terrier x.
Lovely photos and update thank you for fostering the little man for Christmas and giving him a place to hang his stocking for Santa

Benny has settled really well.
Realises now cuddles are great and loves to snuggle and then falls
asleep.
Objects briefly at bedtime as he does not want to miss anything.I give him a warm hot water bottle and last night he had settled before I had even left the kitchen.
Toilet training is going well if he is taken out regularly.
Benny would love the company of another dog to play with.

Benny is doing really well.He is a typical mischievous puppy.He loves to play with his foster brothers.He loves cuddles and falls asleep while being cuddled when he is tired.
He is thriving well and is now 2kgs.
Benny is very smart and understands the command sit.
Toilet training is going amazingly well for such a young pup.He only had 1 accident today and his crate was clean and dry this morning.I take him out before and after meals and naps and if he becomes restless.
Benny loves the garden and runs off exploring.He does not mind the wet grass but he does come back if he hears other dogs barking or sirens.
I hope to have more pics tomorrow.
I tried tonight but he was playing and would not stay still long enough,the pics were all out of focus.

Benny has a great appetite and now takes his food dry.He is gaining weight well.
Benny has been a little afraid of the strong winds when in the garden.He is a great little actor and whines and sometimes cries to get his own way eg eat Max’s food.
He gets excited when he meets people.Benny still dislikes going to bed some nights but settles quickly.
Benny just loves his cuddles and the company of his foster brothers.
