    He has a cage to sleep in, first night he cried alot, but last night (only the 2nd) he was silent as a mouse!

    WE gave him a blanket that his mother has work as a cape for a day, and soooo many toys.

    Not at all, these is alot of divided opinion about when a pup should leave. 7 weeks the pup is in the playful, exploring stage, 8 weeks they are much more fearful. So they will settle into a new home better at 7 weeks over 8 (apparently) trade off is you have to teach it some extra skills it would have learnt in the litter.

    I spent about a month reading up on this, and opinion is divided 50/50 on most dog forums. He was fully weaned at 6 weeks.

    He looks much bigger in real life than in the pictures.

    Nice dog.


    I understand you've done your reading and everything and it will have advised you to expect a certain amount of carnage.

    Multiply it by ten.

    I know, were trying to teach him what he can chew, and what he cant.

    I have even sacrificed a pair of socks (that had NO holes in) as he took a liking to them.

    Rather that than the sofa!

    He looks small enough to fit into a jersey back pocket! Am sure he would love it.

    Good point, I had noticed that the thing doesn't seem to have legs. Neither do Tribbles...
    Looking for a cycling buddy?

    Unless it's a Shutt jersey, cos that would be animal cruelty. Dogs need exercise and they wont get it in a Shutt jersey pocket.

    Forget about that green water/food bowl thing. Whatever it is supposed to do won't work. Especially if that mains lead stays there. I give that cable about thirty seconds and the dog thirty one if it's plugged in.

    Your house is now the dogs.

    It smells.

    You have no time to ride your bike.

    Not that I would be without my dog but it's a hundred times more effort than I imagined it would be. I now understand why the dogs home are inundated with unwanted puppies from March to May.

    Mine eats floors and sofas.

    Good choice going for a little one though.

    Good luck

    Nice dog , not exactly carbon neutral all the way from tibet according to wikipedia :)

    You gonna keep him trim or go for full length hair? Will turn him from a tribble to cousin it
