I am delighted for Saba. I have followed her thread all the way and am thrilled she has found a forever family of her own. I also have loads of sympathy for you, Tracy. I have had a few fosters gone to their forever homes in recent weeks and I cry EVERY TIME! I am storing up the Kleenex for later today when Vicky goes off to the UK with her sisters. Just remember how lucky Saba was to have you to get her to this day. Well done.
Whoever decided that 6 weeks old was a good age to leave their mammy had it all wrong! This little baby is SO needy – of both canine and human company. She seeks out the dogs for play and curls up and cries at the feet of the nearest human when she wants to go to sleep. You have to actively ‘put her to bed’ just like you would a human baby. I am sure this isn’t news to all of you but I have never had such a baby puppy. To be fair, she is eating great, playing away, sleeping through the night and taking no guff from any of her foster siblings. It’s just when she cries to go to sleep and needs you to sort that out for her with cuddles and company, you are reminded just how young she really is. She is the most adorable creature and I feel so lucky to have the chance to take care of her for a little while.

CAM_0186.JPGThis little baby arrived here this evening and she is a STUNNER!! Pure baby puppy with the offbeat little run that all baby puppies have. We are in love already. She is adjusting to another new set of surroundings and I am sure it isn’t easy for her but all my mob are being very patient with her – and gentle (well relatively). She and Calvin are firm friends already and they have just finished a good hour of wrestle / chase. Both unconscious now to build up the reserves for Round 2. Looking forward to getting to know Dani a little better in the next few days. Will keep you posted.
Hi there,
Calvin loves everyone so, although he isn’t around young children here, I would be amazed if he didn’t love your 3 and a half year old to pieces! He is a really sweet dog but with the lovely feistiness of the terriers. Best of luck on the home visit. And I will hear in due course, I am sure.Susan
Just an update on this little man. He is doing fantastically well and has developed a REAL personality of his own – leave it to the terriers!!! He was very traumatised last week when his little sister Coco went to her forever home – he missed her terribly – but he is coping much better now. The arrival of little Vicky on Friday gave him somebody else to boss around and they get on like a house on fire now. He is just about toilet trained and he has a great understanding of the word "NO" cos like his brother Casper he is a chewer! He will make a fabulous pet for whichever family is lucky enough to get him. A little gem!
CAM_0181.JPGThank you SO MUCH, Wendy for that fantastic update and those lovely photos. I am thrilled to see she has settled so well for your mum and dad. She is a real sweetheart. Calvin missed her terribly for the first 24 hours, especially at bedtime but he is coping o.k now. I know that Zoe has gone to a wonderful home and I couldn’t be happier for her. Give her a big hug from me.
Susan
Can I just add my best wishes and thanks to Carol for all her work with these little babies. It is no mean feat and HUGE credit to her that they survived at all and to think they are thriving is AMAZING!! Well, well done.
Coco has just left for her new life in the farmlands of Wicklow. Wishing Hilda, hubby and Coco all the very best.
Susan
