Fifi is doing very well, her stitches look great and are not bothering her at all. We have found if we put her on her back on our laps she loves this and smiles a lot and you can see her tiny teeth, so small ! She has spent a lot time like this while we watch the t.v. Max has really taken to her and she sleeps with him during the day. On Saturday we bathed our two and she just stood at the edge of the bath watching and at one point got a splash but she came back after about 5mins and then ran off with a rubber duck.She takes anything she can as most pups do but we have moved a lot of things away from her reach. She is doing very well. Keep you posted on her progress. Have not walked her , she gets cold very quickly especially in the mornings on the first visit to the garden.She loves her comfort and as soon as she sees a hot water bottle she waits for me to put it in the bed under a blanket and then she is happy curled up and cosy.
The other dog Max does not like the camera so we are lucky to get this photo ! He usually legs it as soon as he sees the camera coming out !
Fifi is a tiny little girl, very silky short hair. So tiny ! She arrived here last week end and immediately she took to the dogs.I was a bit concerned we would have a David and Goliath situation here but the dogs seem to know that she needs to be treated with care. Within 24 hours she had started lying up on their backs as they slept, even when they were up on the settee. I think she likes the warmth she gets from them too. Had her outside a few times in the garden and she does get cold very quickly.Tried a warm jumper on her but she wasn’t having any of it and three times she took the jumper off herself. She likes a blanket over a warm hot water bottle and this settles her very well and she is nice and warm. For a tiny wee thing she can really jump so she needs to have no route to the table etc or she is up in a flash, having a root around ! Same with the counter in the kitchen. She is never happier when she is sitting on your lap ! Lovely little dog, I don’t think I have seen one so small. She maybe tiny but she is very affectionate and also we have found she is quite a good guard dog, slightest noise and she yelps and runs around to see whats happening.
Very affectionate little fellow, not here 24 hrs yet but wow he is such a great little dog, with our dogs too, he is asleep with Max at the moment.He will be back with his foster family tomorrow who I know will be missing him . He didn’t get much of a run around the garden yesterday due to rain but the little time he did spend out there he had fun, chased the ball , didn’t chase the cat either ! He had a good look around, searched every corner, then had a run around with our two. He was in the back door before me, he has great energy. I know he is missing his foster home though. I am sure he will be happy when they arrive home .He slept well last night , John was down here at 3a.m. and Tigger didn’t even get out of his bed .I came down at 7.30 a.m. and he was still asleep. This little fellow would be great company for anyone , he is a big softie ! John said he ‘s like a big teddybear .Very soft hair , silky. You just want to keep stroking him !
Paws crossed ! Hope they will all be ok . Its a round the clock job so if you need a break contact Kathy she knows where we are , even if its just a week end so you can have a break and get some sleep !
Buster is very well. We decided not to put him through a full bath and just washed his lower body as he was due to be neutered. No problem to the little lad ! We were both there in case he wasn’t too keen but he was fine and it was a sunny day so we dried him off really well and he went out and got some sun afterwards.He is due more flea treatment next week so may give him a full bath on Sunday.He is a happy little chap and we have noticed even when he is asleep there seems to be a faint smile on his face. Buster has a very gentle way about him and when he is given treats or food he doesnt snatch or take the fingers off us, he is a real little gentleman. A pleasure to have here and very easy to look after.We had a visitor during the week, a nun, Sr. Angela, who for the last year has been on a mission in Peru ,well, she said she thought he was so well behaved . she had an encounter with stray dogs in Peru on the way to mass one day but many people came to her rescue, so we were a bit worried about introducing her but she loved Buster.He sat at Sr’s feet until she left.
