If you guys read my post from yesterday, then you would have seen me mention a new member that was appearing within the next month. Originally he wasn't coming home until the beginning of November, but when we went to visit last night, the breeder told us that he was already weaned, partially puppy pad trained and ready to leave mum. So, without anything prepared for him, we took our new bundle of joy home with us.
If you follow me on Twitter, you would have already seen me gushing about him.
If not, meet BUG!
He is a jack russell x border terrier.
One of the biggest in his litter but was the last to be chosen. When we originally contacted the breeder she had two of the six pups left. Both boys, which was totally fine by us, and we arranged to visit yesterday to choose one and pay a deposit. A couple of days later, I received an email from her saying that one of the pups had been chosen and he was the last one left and did we want him. After seeing a photo, I fell in love!
That pretty much takes us to yesterday, when we ended up bringing him home early.
On the way home we stopped off at Morrisons to buy some puppy food and wee wee pads, then took him home to settle.
Because we have carpet upstairs, I decided to stay in the living room with him for the night. In all honesty, I thought it would be 100 times worse than it was. He cuddled with me all night, woke every two hours for a wee and a little play, then woke at 6:45 this morning. I knew it would be and it totally was like having a new born baby in the house. Lucky Liam was snoozing away in our bed whilst I was cramped on the sofa. But, he's so worth it.
I'm doing the same thing tonight and hopefully by the weekend, he will have settled enough to snuggle in his new bed (buying that tomorrow) by himself. As soon as he can use his puppy pads completely on his own he can come upstairs with us and the kitties. Who, I forgot to mention, have taken to him so well!!
Anyways, I think I may have spoken puppy for too long, so I'm going to leave it at that.
One thing I will mention though is, with the new addition will come a new addition to the blog.
Every now and then I'm going to post 'pupdates'. These will become to be what I'm calling

He is adorable!!!! I remember when Cali was that small.. :( Oh how she's grown, but still quite a small jack russell.
ReplyDeleteWas bugs mother and father quite small?
Love his markings as they may will change.. Cali was really black faced when she was young, then after a year, the black disappeared.
Such a great addition to your family. :)
