Good luck, and have lots of fun with your new soul mate !

Well.........how's the newest four legged forum member settling in....

yyyYYYyyyyAAAAAaaaaAAYYYYyyyYYYY!!!!!!!

Got my little potato back home...and he's finally ASLEEP!!!

He's taken to his crate like a duck to water, i even fed him in there..little git repaid with a weewee....  ;

Thanks for all of your enthusiastic comments!!

Real drag of a drive...like 500 mile round trip, but he was great on the way back..A bit stressed and panting for a while then he slept on and off..and only 1 little wee...
Turns out he's a fantastic pee'er and poop'er!! I literally turn my back for 1/4 second and i can hear him grunting..next thing, there's a chocolate Mr.Whippy on the floor!
However, he was pushing for the burn earlier and i grabbed him for the umpteenth time..he'd already left me a small gift but when i took him outside AGAIN, he had a little sniffle and a snuffle then pooped like a champ!! I made such a fuss of him i think they were wondering what was going on next door..
He got a bit spooked earlier when next doors yappy Pugs started, but eventually he shrugged it off after i waved a toy in his face...
I'll be sure to bore you silly with Spudley's progress...I've also got a couple of short mobile phone vids that i'll try and upload tomorrow, but for now, im going to enjoy a minutes peace!

You can bore us as much as you like Si we will love all your updates on your furbaby

Ah sounds like you have had a wonderful day! So lovely to hear he was so good on the drive home. Hope you both have a good night tonight.

Oh yeah, puppies are SO boring

sounds like sooo much fun!

i havent had a moments peace since i woke up! We had a 'poo-incident' (P.I) in the crate over night, where upon i think he'd tap danced through it all night..poor bugger had squished himself up into a corner to get as far away as possible..then the little tyke nearly went in the living room...i did my now familiar puppy grab/sprint to the garden as he dropped a present off along the way....sadly after 10 minutes in the garden trying to eat leaves, there was action..well not until i shut him in the kitchen, turned my back to have a shower...about an hour later than normal...to find the mark of Spike on the floor...oh, and a wee...
Off to the vets now for an MOT, but i think this one's broken...luckily i did keep the receipt..(i wonder if the breeder does returns..)

What's an MOT ??

Just got back from the Vet....yes he's mental but otherwise healthy..we're just waiting on one his love eggs descending!

It's the UK annual car roadworthiness test. I'm surprised Spud's had one already as usually you don't need one for the first 3 years.

he looks sweet, but this drew blood earlier!! those bloody teeth....he mistook my ear for a piece of bacon and my finger for a sausage.....didnt half hurt...

I'm only ever so slightly Jealous Si... He's awesome

ENJOY I've never had a staffie puppy, but I have had lurcher pups and I do NOT miss those teeth. It's gonna be a whirlwind, but you'll miss it when he's all grown up

paaaathetic....

Awwww... Ya big softie

Aww, so jealous! He looks like he is settling in well

thanks everyone

i took that photo about 2 hours ago and he's still in pretty much the same position now!! We've had a bit of leg kicking, and a bit of growling but basically he's out for the count...gonna try and sneak him into the kitchen and put him to bed, but i GUARANTEE he'll wake up and launch at me.
I'll leave the door to his crate open tonight in case we have a poop situation in the night...I'm waiting on a puppy pen to be delivered so that should make life easier..
Spike had a busy day today...lots of play, a visit to the vets, a couple of car journeys, visitors, and i drove him to my barbers to say hello to everyone there!! He's becoming quite the celebrity!
