I met my puppy today

[cheeseisthebest]

And I cried.
I'm 42, I've always wanted a dog, I've never had one and when he was put in my arms I totally welled up.
Just wanted to share as I'm so excited and happy.

That’s so lovely ☺️, what sort of pup are you getting, how old is he/she?

I have a litter who are just about to leave, when I was interviewing their perspective families several of them broke down in tears when I said they could have one ( I have a rare breed, some people have waited years for a pup). It’s very emotional finding the right home for pups.

It's a shitzu, he will be 10 weeks old when we bring him home.
He was so chilled and lovely, the whole litter were. I know that will change but he feels a part of our family already.

Congratulations on your new fur baby 🌸💕🎉

Oh it must be so emotional!
What type of dog is yours?

Thank you queenbee we are all so happy. Going to buy some bits tomorrow that we still need.

I couldn’t hold back the tears when I met my first pup.
Good luck op.
If you’re on FB then the puppy files in dog training advice and support are BRILLIANT!!

Mine are Irish terriers. It’s mayhem in my house at the moment, they are not calm or quiet and they will only get more boisterous. I blummin love them!

Thank you both!
Yep I know it will get crazy but oh I can't stop that thinking about that amazing moment. I didn't have that when either of my children were born (long story!) So was a lot of emotion building up!

But I also feel terrible guilt about taking him away from his mum and his brothers and sisters! He will be so loved though, no matter how crazy and exhausting it gets!

I know the feeling. We're bringing home our chichon in 7 weeks and I can't wait. It's going to be like having a baby again.

If there is a dog spaced hole in your heart it’s a magic feeling to fill it.

Thank you, that is exactly it! Definitely been a long thought out and planned for puppy!

Any photos 😆😆😆😆

By the time he leaves his mum will likely be quite glad of the break!! Each puppy should have an adoring family (of slaves) like yours!
I’ve stayed in contact with brothers and sisters of my pups. It’s lovely.

Bit outing! Would love too though! Still need a name!

Oh that's nice Wolfiefan I hasn't thought of being in contact with the other new owners.

I actually had a lovely evening with brother and sister of my eldest dog in a pub the other night. Their owner/slave is lovely too!!

My puppy has shih tzu in him and you can tell with how he looks. I think they’re fab dogs

A lot of the families of my pups are already in contact and planning to stay in touch. They are spread all over the country so social media helps a lot.

Yep, I was a wreck when I met my first baby too! I also felt guilty about taking him away from his mum!
