See How They Grow....

I am so grateful to Amanda for keeping the litter photo page updated. She's very kindly been posting photos every few days (including on Christmas morning!) so that we've been able to watch the pups grow from tiny little creatures into gorgeous small dogs  :o)

Here they are:

1 day old and snuggled up to mama Connie

4 days old and one clever pup has managed to get some extra Mummy snuggles

7 days old and a special kiss for Mummy

8 days old and everyone is sleeping

9 days old and the milk bar is open again

14 days old and they've all grown so much!

17 days old and weaning has started

18 days old and one pup is just.............too............tired........to...........keep..........feeding

19 days old, eyes are open and they're looking like proper little dogs

21 days old and there are two very special gifts under the Christmas tree

23 days old and it looks like the sheen has come off for Connie  ;o)  but her babies still adore her

23 days old again and how cute are they?? Look at the kissing couple at the back 

25 days old and the two pups snuggling up to Connie are just TOO cute xx

25 days old again and they're looking for trouble  ;o)

25 day old cutie-pie

Ok and now for some new important information:

1. One family have been waiting some time for a Tamazan boy so they get first pick, but we get the other boy

2. Boy family 1 are visiting the pups on Wednesday 8th January and will pick their boy that day

3. We are visiting the pups on Thursday 9th January so we will get to meet OUR Cheese pup on that day!

4. Amanda is letting the pups go to their homes between 7 and 8 weeks of age so, after some inner turmoil and debate with myself, I've decided that we're going to collect Cheese at 7 weeks as he'll be coming home to canine company and we're more than capable of managing a youngster. I think the fact that he'll be that little bit smaller will help with the terrierists too.

5. We'll be the first family to collect our pup, so Master Cheese will be joining us on the very day that he turns 7 weeks - Wednesday 22nd January  :o)

6. We're waiting on confirmation from the Kennel Club, but Amanda has submitted KC registrations for the litter. Cheese will hopefully be Tamazan Wensleydale! If the KC say "no" to Wensleydale, then he'll be Tamazan Wallace  :o)

7. Cheese's first weekend holiday away is booked for Nottingham and Leeds in mid-February where he will get to meet lots of our special friends (2 and 4 legged!).

After such a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg wait for our puppy, it still seems like an unbelievable dream that he'll actually be here in just 3 short weeks!!! I may not be sleeping much between now and then  ;o)
