Diezel Dog
Nov. 17th, 2009 02:12 pmWent to bring home the 8 week baby yesterday. I had him on my knee in the car all the way (2 hours) and after five minutes of yowling he settled down and slept for two hours with no more fussing and (thank goodness) no sign of travel sickness.
Diezel puppy duly installed in the household with usual expected puddles (and more) and yowling when he's left alone for a moment, but all that will pass (hopefully). It must be awfully strange for the little chap to be yanked out of a cosy billet with his brother and sisters and mum and dumped with two complete strangers. At the moment he's fixed on BB as his alternative mum and gets awfully anxious if separated, so we're gradually training him by ignoring all yowls and whimpers and praising silence. This afternoon he learned how to kill his blanket and now wants to play.
He's grown tremendously in just the last week. Just compare the two photos.
Diezel at 7 weeks
Diezel at 8 weeks
