Sadly not Awks. We used to live in Lancashire, which was fantastic for keeping dogs, but now we're down near Warwickshire. Have fun at your puppy party.
Sally, you're a great big softie like me - hope your dh isn't still on the sofa in a week's time like we are. 
He looks so cute pooped out on the floor in your photo.
I've put a couple of new pics on my profile. It seems Pip has discovered a new toy - needless to say Lurcherboy isn't so keen! 
Birdmomma, sounds like she adapts well when confronted, even if she does react at first, it's great that she can settle down and make friends soon afterwards and the more she gets of positive interaction after being scared, the better she'll cope with new situations in later life. Puppy classes will really help with that too.
Jax, I feel your pain. Pip tends to fall asleep about 10.30, but then wakes at 2.00 am, so we've been trying to keep him awake at least an hour longer. Last night, after his busy day, he fell asleep at 10.00, before he'd had a last wee, so we woke him up at 11.00 and took him out for a wee - and that was that. He was then awake, but whingey and grizzley like an overtired toddler until 2.00 am. 
Then he woke at 4.15 for a wee and did the biggest wee I have ever seen such a small dog produce and was again properly awake and being a full on landshark. Put him back in his crate about 4.30 ish without engaging him and he did go straight back to sleep, then dh got up at 6.00 and woke him up again. Fortunately he said I could go up to bed and he'd have Pip until he had to leave for work at 8.00 am. Apparently Pip went out, had his first feed at 6.30 and then slept until I got up at 8.00 am.
Unfortunately it takes me ages to fall asleep, so I've probably only had two lots of just under 2 hour slots of consecutive sleep.
Having lots of issues with ds1 today as well, not good on such a small amount of sleep.
MissMummy, sounds like you had a perfect night. Way to go Aulay and dd.
Pip has finally gained some weight. Just over the weekend his bones have started to recede and he's looking a whole lot better. Vets tonight, so hopefully we can start weaning him onto a complete food and he will get his second vax, meaning he can start puppy classes on time. 
Major fail on my part with housetraining this morning. Making breakfast and couldn't see Pip, so called him. We've been working on recall and 'come' = huge piece of chicken, so in charges Pip from the garden, trailing wee all through the back porch and kitchen floor on his way. He'd gone outside for a wee, which is why I couldn't see him. Doh! On a positive note, at least it seems his recall training is working.
