As some readers will know, very sadly we lost Jack-Jack at the end of May when he was knocked over by a car - it was one of those one in a million happenings. Both J-J and the car were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We decided that we needed to start again straight away, and found these two beautiful little chaps, aged about 4 weeks old, living in a family home in Dunstable, with mum, dad, big brother and three little sister litter mates. We had to wait for them to grow up a bit more and be ready to leave mum, Tessie. That time has now arrived, and here they are! Both of them were little stars on the two hour drive home and slept on my knee throughout the journey, except for a short wakeful period where they just sat and looked around. There was no whining, no car sickness and no fear. They were troopers!
Arriving home, they investigated the garden and both had a good long pee - as in they held on in the car. They tell us they want to go outside when they need to, which is superb in little chaps of their age. After some meat and biscuits they played some more, investigated the house, and slept again. Today they've been to the vet for their first innoculation and they've had a carry-walk along the river bank to see what it's all about. They are now fast asleep in the basket in the kitchen - but am sure will be up to mischief later. Click to enlarge.

They are adorable and oh so tiny. Should make for a busy household. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing that they're so tiny they can fit in your hat, it make a cozy looking bed. And such a big yard to explore(and such a beautiful one too). The attack photo is hilarious, they are smaller than the shoe the person is wearing.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching them grow up.
Thank you for making this blog Elizabeth - it's a delight and an honour to share in your joy (and the puppies!)
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks beautiful by the way.

They are gorgeous and so well behaved for such tiny pups, (except when in 'attack' mode maybe!) I wonder if you will ever get to wear that winter hat again? They may start a tug-of-war over it if they both want to sleep in it!
