Ah Niamh and Sean, that is just brilliant for you all and especially for Millie!
I am thrilled and, like Aggie, not one bit surprised. 
You will end up with 5 just like us yet – NOT!!!!! We have been able to see another wonderful side to this little man’s personality in the last week or so. While dropping and collecting my little niece from our local summer project, Samuel has come into contact with hordes of children and he has been amazingly good with them.
He sits quietly and calmly while they rub him and pet him and fuss over him. He is not jumpy or barky or bitey or even licky!!
He just calmly submits to the attention. He is an incredibly calm and gentle pup – even living with "Tornado Thor" hasn’t knocked that out of him!! A great little man.Got this beauty weighed yesterday and he is over 10 kilos!!! A fine big man for his age.
He still has the same gentle, playful, affectionate nature though and that is something he won’t lose no matter how big he gets!!! He loves to play, he loves his grub, LOVES his cuddles and adores the bigger dogs. He is missing both Sugar and Thor today as Sugar – although on the mend thankfully – is still in the vets and Thor joined her this morning to have his "little operation". 
Can’t wait to get both of them home. 
CAM_0551.JPGSamuel has been promoted to sleeping with the biggies since his little sis got sick and I would say there is no going back for him now!
He snuggles down at night with them all and there isn’t a peep out of him till morning. He continues to thrive and is getting bigger and ‘boulder’ by the day!!! A total lie, he is a really good little pup but he has become so much more playful in the 12 days or so that he is with us. He missed Sugar when she ‘disappeared’ at first but he has settled into life without her now – bet he will still be glad to get her back though! A great little guy. Everyone who sees him falls in love with him and I am not ONE BIT surprised. Haven’t updated on this little angel for a while because she has been in the vets on a drip since Wednesday
She was really, really sick, so much so that Mark (the vet), on Friday night, warned us that she may not last the night. 
We were devastated but the little fighter made it through the night and is getting better and stronger by the day. 
We are visiting her daily and can’t wait till she is well enough to come home. Can’t thank Mark and all the staff at the vets enough for all they are doing for Sugar (and all they did for our other sickies before!!) Will get some more pics of this little lady soon, please God.
Picture 467.jpgShe is absolutely beautiful!!
If I wasn’t in danger of becoming COLGAN KENNELS PLC, I would adopt her myself. This little man is developing into a right character!!
Always the more confident of the two, he is even more self assured now – in the nicest possible way. He now knows that if he shares his meal, he will still get enough to eat and if he clambers up on to the sofa, he will find a really comfy place for a rest – and maybe even a human or canine hot water bottle He has become really playful too, just like Sugar, and really curious – he wants to know exactly what is going on all the time!! He is an absolute joy and he will make a fab pet for anyone who chooses to home him (just sad that it can’t be us )
CAM_0558.JPG"Sweet" is absolutely the right word to describe this little girl. She is an angel.
In the few days she has been with me, she has become really playful and loves nothing more than a game of chasing with Samuel and Thor. She adores her toys and loves to run around showing all the others what she has, hoping for a chase. She is growing in confidence by the day. When she arrived first, she wouldn’t sleep in a bed but lay on the floor to sleep. Now, her little posterior will not settle anywhere but the comfiest bed in the house Preferably with a warm, furry companion already installed!!! A little dote. 
CAM_0547.JPGThis little sweetheart is a dream to foster.
She is very quiet and calm. No chewing, no play biting, no barking – all she wants is a cuddle, a bit of grub and some play time with her big bro, Samuel. I say "big bro" but they are the same age – he is just a lot bigger than her, 2 kilos heavier!!! She is eating well, sleeping like a top and there have been very few toilet accidents. Like her brother, Sugar is very people orientated and she will never stray very far from me – wherever I go, there shall she be!! She is an absolute joy and any family would be so lucky to have the chance to home her. 
CAM_0561.JPGWell our gorgeous little man continues to delight us all here.
He has become a little more settled but will still not stray too far from any available human. He is REALLY affectionate and very calm for a boy of his age and breed. That said, the breed thing is open to discussion – there is certainly something other than sprollie in him, just not too sure what. I reckon he will be a big lad when he has finished growing but he is a very well behaved pup. There are no chewing or play biting issues at all and very little in the way of toilet accidents too He just potters about the place, loving everyone and everything. Sleeps all night without a peep. An all round GREAT little man. 
CAM_0562.JPGThis girl is a little angel. A really stunning looking puppy with a personality to match. She is quieter than her brother and quite timid really.
Spends her entire time under my feet either sitting or lying and she follows me – or any available human – everywhere. She is a real cuddler who settles into your arms so calmly when you pick her up and nuzzles your neck. She has amazingly soft fur, just like her brother (which makes her very easy to hug too!!! ) Love having her in foster. Will keep you posted.
