So today we went to meet Barkleyfor the first time. I was so suprised at just how tiny he was because in the photo's he looked a lot bigger!! He was adorable and Pat from Polycinders was lovely and really helpful.

We got the news we wanted to hear; Mummy is DNA tested clear through parentage so this has been the icing on the cake.

We had lots of cuddles as you can see. All the pups were beautiful and you may also notice in the group photo that there is a rather different looking puppy in the middle of the pile!! This is a pug, Pat has fostered him as his mother rejected him, he is doing really well with his adoptive poo family :)

It is beautiful, i was really pleased. They were so tiny, Barkly slept the entire time, woke up once and had a little yawn and then dropped straight off again. I mentioned to Pat that we had been chatting, she siad you had confirmed your second pup!! Couldn't resist hey ;)

I emailed Pat not too long ago as I was made aware she had a photo of my dog on her website, she was very polite in her emails and removed the photo as soon as she could ... as you know I like nice people and she was very sorry and polite :)

I am so pleased you are happy with Barkley :) :)

Hi JoJo, she really was lovely :). Although it's no excuse Honey really is beautiful so i can understand why she wanted her picture. I will send her some of Barkley as he is growing as i know she gets sent puppy pics i don't think she has been sent any recent pics of her adult dogs

No excuse at all don't know why she felt the need to use another persons photo a bit irresponsible but I guess she won't repeat the error! I suppose you could take it as a compliment that she thought your dog was worthy of showing off.(!)

I agree, i'm sure she wouldn't do it again. Was Teddy quite nervous when u first met him? He soon came round and then couldn't get enough of all the attention, mummy was also a little nervous at first

Teddy spent most of his time with his head on my knee I would have taken him home! Hope Hattie gets her Eric sometimes I think maybe I should wait for another 12 months but then think may as well get it all over in one go! We will see unfortunatley I am a push over for a puppy! Will see how Hattie copes whilst I am away at Badminton she will be living with family on farm in Moretonhampstead where my terriers have stayed previously, should do her some good as there will be other dogs in the house so she will have to get on with them. Sometimes think she gets a bit bored with just me so pup 2 will be good for her. May as well get all the mess over sooner than later and hopefully summertime will be a bit easier!

Beware the sleeping puppy! They are just conserving energy for when they get home trust me Hattie seemed quite quiet Pat said she thought she was about third in pecking order of the litter.Believe me she soon stepped up to the plate and some!

Haha i can imagine!! Barkley was the biggest of the bunch, they say males are bigger though anyway but he has got a right little milk belly on him!!

Think the end of June is a forgone conclusion and poo two will be moving in already broody all those weeks of toilet training and sleepless nights seem months away! If there are no boys will have to be an Erica!

We had a great visit today too! In fact Kirsty we were the family that came in just after you at 3pm- should have asked who you were! The puppies are adorable and I agree we also thought how small they were, but so cute! I think you must have had their nap time as once we had a cuddle from our little one, they kind of woke up and were having a play- really funny to watch them.

Teddy & Blossom were a little quiet to start with, but soon very friendly- especially Teddy. Good to know our puppies have such good natured parents.

Pat too was lovely and obviously really cares for her dogs.

Will post pics soon- seems along time to wait until we bring them home now doesn't it!

It will go in an instant. Teddy is the most adorable dog, I could easily have kidnapped him he spent all the time I was there with his head on my knee! his temprement is passed on to his children Hattie loves nothing more than to put her paws on my chest and her nose under my chin!
