My husband and I went out to look at the puppies at the antique shop in Langley, BC, Canada today - oh, look at the time. Actually it was yesterday. I am pretty tired! Angus is on my lap while I type, and he like to rest his head on my left arm. I had written about the proper age to adopt at. Some people said 12 weeks for sure. Others responded with some breeders letting them go at 8 weeks. Well, I know I will hear from many of you - but I got there and found out that she was almost 7 weeks (had gotten her first shots). We brought her home (I know . . . I know. . . ) and tomorrow she will go to our regular vet's for a check up. She is drinking lots of water, and had some goats milk, but she wouldn't eat any food. She slept a lot when we got home, but then got quite playful. Angus did not know what to make of her! She was active for quite a while - drinking but not eating, though. I am keeping a close watch on her. As soon as I figure out how to, I will post pictures of her and of Angus. We don't have a name yet.
Tomorrow I will try pablum and softened kibble. Any other suggestions? I know that they should not go at such a young age. I met the dad (mom was not there). I also saw the other pups, and watched them interact. Going to bed now. I think I'll be up later!!
