Vlad "bonding" with Dita (our gorgeous moggy)

Sorry this took so long everyone... I am a bit of a cabbage when it comes to posting photos... had to wait until the husband could show me how to use photo bucket

Excellent boy! He looks full of personality!

Cabbage

Fab pics, thank you and oh

Thank you If you mean by full of personality, naughty, then you've got it in one He looks all innocent in the first couple of photos, but he's really one of the cheekiest monkeys around!

Never!! lol x

He's a good looking boy.

aw he's gorgeous

Thanks He is very cute... when he isn't up to mischief! We were told by the breeder that he was always the first awake and last to sleep in the litter! Him and one f his sisters would manage to escape their little enclosure and run into the breeder's kitchen and just sit there and wait for food and cuddles! He has been really good here. We thought the thunderstorms we have had over the last couple of days might upset him... but nope, still wanted out to play and toilet. We have started putting his harness on throughout the day so he can get used to it... and there is something about it that the instant it goes on, he's better behaved This morning I got up and he was still asleep... this is after 12 hours! I had to force him out to have a wee (obviously quite cosy on his bed under the heating) and afterwards he came straight back in and went to sleep for another 1.5 hours!

LOL......that's a new one to me, but I like it

Vlad looks gorgeous. I especially like the pic where it looks like he's "talking" to you

Cabbage just sums up so much without the need to use offensive names (but sometimes they are called for )

LOL @ Vlad "talking" that was Vlad voicing his opinion after being told "No" for barking at the cat :p

That's the sad thing: Dita (cat) has turned into a little bit of a bag of nerves. She has always been fairly shy (we think this is part her nature and part because she is a rescue cat) but because of Vlad she hides in our room, and has lost a bit of weight (I tightened he collar 3 holes and it is still a little big ) She eats and is using her litter, but I am concerned. If it continues I will take her to the vet. Unlike most cats that will swipe and lunge, she hisses and runs away!

Great looking pics.

Cheers. He photos well... he puts on his good boy or cute face for them

Jon: Your Ty is only 4 days older than Vlad

Aww!! What a cutie pie!!

Cheers.

how is he feeling today

he's a verrrry cute boy! can't wait to meet him some time

A couple of weeks you'll be able to Yiu'll see what a cheeky little bugger he is!

thats a few times i have looked at these pics now and i still think he is absolutely adorable a podgy mass of cuddly dog

LOL.. he does love a cuddle... when he is not squirming to get free and cause mischief! He is starting to look more and more like his dad! And, he has some lovely brindle bits coming through the black. Looks gorgeous in the light!

i love the black brindle. but i'm biast cos my lemmy is black brindle with a white chest like your vlad

YAY! We have noticed a couple of patches appearing over the last couple of days. It looks lovely in the sun, doesn't it?

Vlad his second day with us. The white around his neck is gone and he isn't as black now... bit's of brindle. Can't wait until there's enough to see to take a photo!

he's lovely. i love the puppy shape so podgy and cuddly. the brindle looks gorgeous when its out i love black brindle

What a lovely pup! Reminds me so much of Ty(son) at that age. There is no other breed as special as a Staffie IMHO.
I have two cats and Ty has always considered them playthings in spite of being told off. For the first few weeks they hid and now we have an easy truce. Mostly the cats (male & female) ignore/avoid Ty but if he gets a rise out of them especially the female who is grouchy then its game on!
Nevertheless, all three are not averse to curling up together with me on the bed in the mornings or. This is getting better as he is getting older.

so theyre nice and comfy where do you sleep

He has a bed in the lounge room and we sleep in our bed... he snores too much for me I can hear hime from the other end of the house! LOL

He would love to play with our cat, she, however does not want to play with him. I hope they will eventually get along! She won't even be in the same room as him!

I'm sure they wil settle in eventually
