 Introducing Mama's new boy....Tucker!
Thanks everyone for yor input. I went out to see the 2 little guys last evening. The breeder was excellent in answering all my questions. They were checked by her vet(all papers were shown and given to me) and given the 1st shots, dewormed, tails docked and dew claws removed. They are AKC registered. I spent about 1 1/2-2 hours asking questions and observing. She had both Mother and Father on the premises which was neat & clean. The dogs are kept in her home. She also asked me a lot of questions also, as she is very perticular as to who's adopting her pups. She had them on Halo Spot Stew(rated A1) dry puppy food and gave me a new 3lb bag to take with me. As I stated, there were 2, 12 week old little boys. One was an itsy bitsy fellow and the other was much bigger..not fat, just bigger. I opted to adopt the bigger one. She gave me her email address and said please send pictures and followups as to how the puppy is doing. When we left she had tears in her eyes. The drive home was very rough on the little guy. He started to throw up and then salavate quite a bit. The sleeve on my t-shirt was soaked. Thank goodness home was just a few miles away. He didn't looked too well when we got home so I gave him a little karo syrup and in about 5 min he perked up tremendously. He was very frightened and scared most of the evening but started warming up to me. He ate a bit and drank a little. Settled in about 11:00pm in a make shift pen(until we get to Wallyworld today)and didn't make a peep all night. He played all morning with some stuffed toys and barked a little for me to hold him and started to investigate his new surroundings. Took a drink but still hasn't eaten anything yet. We went out to the grassy courtyard for about 20 min where he romped and played with the leaves. That tuckered him out and he is now stretched out on the couch snoozing away.If he would eat soon, I'd be such a happy Mama. He is the most adorable little man I have ever seen. Funny how you can fall in love immediately. He is my precious boy. Gotta run...time to call the vet for his checkup. |
