A few of you will know me from when I posted in December about when we lost our old boy. Well, our new puppy is home. His name is Monty, he's a Labrador and he's gorgeous!
Been feeling very nervous and apprehensive about this day. Part of me thinks it's too soon and I feel guilty about 'replacing' our old boy. Part of me is so relieved to be able to call myself a dog owner again.
He's currently asleep in his crate in the kitchen. Bit relieved as when I put him in just now he whined like mad. I took him out again, once he was quiet, in case he needed a wee but he fell asleep on the floor so I've put him back in. Touch wood he's asleep for now. He's got a heat pad wrapped up in a blanket from his breeder to hopefully emulate a litter mate so he doesn't feel so lonely.
Not looking forward to having to get up every night for toilet training though.
So far he's only wee'd in the kitchen once and that was only because I spotted him circling but couldn't get to him in time. We've been outside with him most of the afternoon and he's wee'd and poo'd out there which is good.
It's the start of our journey with our next dog. Quite a monumental day really. Feeling a bit overwhelmed!
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
The doghouse
Our new puppy is here. And he's gorgeous!
