Way to go, thats excellent news sure you will all be fine.

Hope Blue does not pass on his early morning singing to Spartacus, you will need earplugs!

Cant wait to meet you all out and about in the village.

Best of luck, (you wont need it of course)! Its going to be exciting times for the " Blue" household!!!

Just remember to expect the day 3 blues (how can you not with 2 of them!!) - no seriously...make sure you use folk on here for some much needed support...the 3 day blues exist -where you seriously doubt if you have made the right decision or not. Fear not as they pass just as quickly. Just gotta bear down & see it through. We are all here for you throughout so take as much from this experience as you can & more importantly have FUN!!

Heres to puppy puddles !!

Yay for your first attempt at fostering!!!  It's exciting stuff.  Must agree with Suzanne about the 3-day rule.  Have loads of rescue remedy to hand, for you and the dogs!!

Fiona

Well he's here!

Has so far polished the rest of Blues brekki off and eaten his chew so can safely say he's a foody!

Loads of grooming to do as puppy coat starting to come out

Blue has been very patient so far - has growled a couple of times as Spart wouldn't leave him alone.

Took Spart for a walk along the beech had to cross a busy road not impressed with cars! Sure it will get better.

Rather wet on the walk and he was going out of his way to walk in the puddles with his nose in them - sneezing

Have put him in his indoor kennel (Thanks Fiona and Steve - Managed to squeeze it in behind dinning room table!) to give us all a rest.

Will try and get photos when settled a bit more

Amanda

Hooray out of kennels, he sounds a wee character..

Hope to see you out and about.

Not going to happen Sha, though he does seem like a very well behaved boy at the moment, I don't think him and Blue will be such good mates during those difficult teenage years. We've already had them sorting things out round the garden - well, Blue did the sorting, Spart did the cowering. The seem quite good now that that's out of the way. A couple more pics for you,

I'd say the sorting out is to be expected especially given the difference in age/size between Sparty and Blue, Blue is defo putting the little upstart in his place, with a bit of luck Sparty will be intelligent enough to get the message. We always have a few 'moments' when we take foster pups into our house but they always get the message within the first day or so. Watch for Spartys body language round Blue, especially if he's getting a telling off, if his tail is between his leg and he cowers away acting all submissive thats a good sign, if he lies down and shows Blue his tummy then thats an extra good sign that he's got the message about who's in charge!..

And love the piccies! Will get them on the GAL website soon as poss, no one is going to be able to resist him!!

He is def submissive. Blue barked and Sparty put his tail between his legs and then cowarded under a bush. Sparty also peed himself as soon as he saw Blue which we presumed was an instant signof submission.

They have had a couple of good play sessions in the garden all in all not a bad first day but not looking forwards to the dreaded "day 3"

A

I`m on day 3 with Maisie - it`s not so bad, honest!

Awww, bless the wee man! Sounds like thing are going well. The piccies are lovely - who could fail to fall in love with that beautiful face? Can't see him being with you for very long cos he's such a babe.

Well one way to avoid the "dreaded day 3" ...........Poor Sparty is going in to get neutered tomorrow, A bit sooner than we had originally planned but it was either tomorrow or a week Friday and to be honest we are seeing rather more lipstick than we would like!

Sure this will help to get him to his forever home a little quicker. Go on you know you want him

Poor Sparty.  The things we do to our dogs eh??  Still, better for him in the long run.  I'm glad Whistler has already been done.  Didn't really enjoy sleeping on the kitchen floor with Luca and Eilidh when they were neutered.  Not comfy!!

Yes FAJ,

Eilidh is indeed diddly, dainty and extremely pretty.  Thank you very much. 

However, I can assure you that what she lacks in stature, she makes up for with her big gob!!! lol
