It's quite a full-on occupation to establish the right routines and make sure he gets a good mixture of stimulation, affection, attention and real play and it's no wonder I feel quite tired as I'm doing most of it. The children and FR are doing a bit here and there but it would seem I'm the only one who's never too busy to put Pippin first. (Do I sound like I'm complaining? I'm not, I love it and I love him!)
Here he is - I can see already how he's growing in length. He is going to be quite big, I think. I can't wait for him to have all his injections so we can go out for walks - though I do hope the weather is due to improve when we get to that stage! It's yeuky and rainy right now - it was sunny on Saturday and felt like Spring all of a sudden. I am so looking forward to our long sunny days again....
Here he is...I'm sure I'll have more and different things to talk about again one day soon.

It's a hard life!
You need not fear of puppy bore here, Annie! Keep on showing pix of this adorable Pippin. Love knowing he has a good home and is settling in so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Penny - he's changing daily and despite being a dreadful 'nipper' at the moment he's showing signs of being a great dog. Axxx
DeleteOh I love him! And of course I won't be bored with your puppy talk. You'll need to go some way to beat me when it comes to talking about dogs, but you already know that :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess I knew you wouldn't be bored, Ayak! Right now, he's having a wrestling match with his blanket! This is just before he will collapse in a heap and sleep all night! Axxx
DeleteI bet you feel as whacked out as he looks in the bottom photograph by the end of the day!
ReplyDeleteHe's just lovely!
I'm still suffering from a bit of a virus, Helen and had thought it was that that was making me feel so exhausted - I think you might have hit the nail though! What takes up more time - a puppy or a lamb??

Pippin's paws look big to me.... and you know what that means! Enjoy x
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who is 'offering' sled rides over the Sierra Nevada - dog sled, that is, with Pippin on pole position - on the basis of those paws!

You can't bore us with puppy stories - I was just thinking that you were being a bit lax with your updates - more please.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get a mo, B2B, I've only just found the time to read your lovely comments! Axxx
DeleteLovely photos he looks as though he will be quite a big boy, one big bundle of mischief, enjoy xx
ReplyDeleteI do hope by the time he is big he'll be less mischief....I really do! Axxx
DeleteAdorable Annie and I am glad he is bringing a little doggy happiness back into your home.
ReplyDeleteA house to me is not a home without an adored pet!

He is such a sweetie, Sophie, though he's running me ragged at the moment. I'm hoping my patience and determination will pay off in the long run....then there will be time for adoration!

I'm not bored at all ... post away about him, please ... he's delightful :)
ReplyDeleteI can almost watch him growing, Annie - it's incredible we've only had him for 10 days! You will see more, I promise.

Blimey - take as many pics as you can! They grow so fast! I had a Shepherd dog... I recall that one week I could pick him up, the next he'd trebled in size! He did end up being about 7 stone...

I was looking at him today and thinking, he's grown so much in just 10 days! I hadn't planned on having a huge beast but I think we might get one before much longer....He's demolishing a shoe just now (it's OK, it's an old one..)
