Oh you dear little dog, I hope your forever home is the best, best, best home ever. You deserve to be cared for like the precious creature you are.
So excited to see the little pups born safe n sound and Dolly too!Can’t wait to see them in person with a view to adopting one or Dolly herself. We’ve had our HV so it’s a case of being patient now!
Well done to a great foster family and little Dolly, a true little star!
Wow Dolly has had so much support and well wishes on Facebook!!
Here are some photos of Dolly and pups this morning…..I can see the pups getting chubbier each day.
After a quick little peek, the boy seems to be the light brown pup and the 2 darker (and smaller) pups are the girls.
Dolly is being great with the pups – a super mum. Her tummy is a bit upset though, but she’s going to the vet today for her check-up so we’ll see what the vet says.
Dolly is getting confident enough to come into me in the sitting room for some cuddles and TLC for herself, and then head back to her pups knowing they are safe in their basket.
It’s my first time to foster a dog with newborn pups and it’s a wonderful experience!!

IMG_1125.JPGHi
We would be only too happy to give Dolly the love and attention she needs after doing such a wonderful job with her pups.
It is terrible that she was found in such a state.
We have a 2yr old female Yorkie (Bday on 1st Sept) and were thinking about getting her a friend when we came across Dolly.
The whole family are just so taken by her and she is nearly identical in looks and actions to our dog (blankets and tummy rubs are top of her list)
So if you would like to contact us we can be Dollys new forever family.Dolly is recovered from her tummy bug and is doing great. The pups are getting fatter every day
So the whole family is doing well. Dolly is a little restless at times, so I took her for a short walk today and she was delighted to have some ‘me’ time.
I think her stitches are itchy and she’s a little uncomfortable, but they’re coming out on Tuesday.Dolly’s little trade mark is sticking out her tongue when she’s snoozy – I got a little photo of it below – how cute is she??

They must be growing every minute. Dolly, go straight to the top of the class, you are a little treasure 
So thrilled to see them all thriving! Is it too early to guess what breed the daddy was? I’m still really interested in adopting either Dolly or one of the female pups! Our whole family are following Dollys journey and waiting patiently for the time when we can give one of them a home!
Happy 1 week birthday to Dolly’s pups!
Haven’t they grown so much in the week – they crawl all over the bed so I’ve moved them into the crate so they have more room to move about.
At this point I need names to identify them, so in DID tradition if anyone can think of 1 boy name and 2 girls names starting with ‘D’ (after Dolly) we may have a christening soon. I’m brain dead at the moment and can’t think of any nice names.
Dolly likes to take breaks away from the pups now, but last night she was so tired she fell asleep on my knee for 10 minutes. Suddenly she jumped up and headed for the door where her pups were – poor little thing, guess she thought she’d been asleep for ages and left her pups.

IMG_1143.JPGSuch cute little pups! And Dolly seems like she’s doing brilliantly, what a wonderful mummy
How about Dipper for the boy? And maybe Daisy and Daffy for the girls? I’m thinking Diego for the boy and Dana and Daisy for the girls? D’s are difficult! !!
soooo cute though!Thanks for all the names – ‘D’ names are hard.
Keep them coming and I’m going to get my 18 year old niece Sally to pick from the list on Tuesday when we’re off to the vet to get Dolly’s stitches out and pups weighed (they’ll need a strong scales ). Sally is a real animal lover and has been a great help to me with the pups (as she is with all my foster dogs).So far I’ve 12 boy names and 10 girl names to choose from. Dexter and Daisy have been suggested the most.
Indianna I love Dilly and Dally!!! However they are more like Speedy and Gonzalez the way they move around the crate.
Enough about pups and back to Dolly…
Thanks Milyana and Macks for showing an interest in Dolly and her pups. Having seen poor Bruno being returned to the pound, I’m going to be very honest about Dolly’s good and bad (
) points.
Dolly does need some re-training but as she was pregnant and now being such a good mum, I’m finding it hard to be firm with her at the moment as she’s enough going on! (Plus she looks at me with that stunning little face and I melt
).
Macks – I’m not sure from my experience if Dolly would like sharing your attention. Also, without training, she currently doesn’t seem like she’d be a good companion for your yorkie. However, this is only my opinion.Good:
1. She is a beautiful little dog2. She will cuddle you forever and a day
3. She adores adults (she hasn’t met children yet) and welcomes them with tag wagging.
4.She LOVES going for her walkies and walks well on the lead and was very well behaved when walked with my 2 dogs.
5.She is a good eater and eats her dog food and is now getting used to treats.
6. She is fairly quiet but likes the occasional little fit of barking in the garden. She is however very quiet compared to my 2 dogs.
7. She sleeps all night in her own area (now with the pups) and is quiet until woken up.
Bad(ish)
1. She is a dominant dog. She gets along nicely with my 15 year old JRT as they both do their own thing and don’t bother each other. She growls and is not happy in the company of my 7yr old yorkie who is much more interactive. She makes no attempt to play with either of my dogs. She also stalks them in the garden when they are piddling and then puts her scent over theirs – guess it’s her way of saying she’s boss!2. She is not used to dog toys/play – she growled when Tio and I played a game of tug – I think she thought he was attacking me. As she’s only around 2 it would be nice to see her being silly and playing. She is very mature for her young age – the only fun thing I’ve seen her do is rob tissues or serviettes and shred them??
3. She is toilet trained but sometimes can’t be bothered
and will go wherever she happens to be. She will NOT go outdoors in the rain and will piddle indoors 4. She is very jealous of my 2 dogs when I interact with them. She will move closer and closer to me trying to block them from getting at me. She even growled at my golden oldie when my sister rubbed her! I think Dolly would be more than happy to be Number 1 and only dog. However this could change with training……?
If anyone has any questions about Dolly, post them and I will answer as best I can. I will say, it’ll be a sad day in this house when my little Dolly leaves me.
