@arealhuman and @Caro Perry this post is for you two!
The weather is great, so sunny! So the puppies can come outside :p Olive loves playing outside with them and in the kitchen :) We get our first home visit with the puppy tomorrow if I remember I will take pictures I can’t wait adding another member to our pack! Our house is going to be crazy!
7 weeks old on Wednesday! :eek:

Am I reading this correctly, you are adding another puppy? If so please do some reading on littermate syndrome. I realise it isn't an actual littermate but if it is close in age to your existing puppy you need to understand the issues you might encounter.

Yes you are correct with the fact we are adding another puppy. I have done lots of research on Littermate Syndrome and I am prepared for any dip in the road, we can only take her on if tomorrow is successful; this consist of the puppies getting along with the new pup and to be honest I think it will go okay, but we are also considering an older rescue from the Spanish shelter, were we got Olive from, as well as the puppy. I have done bounds of research and I feel we are ready for more animals.

Today went ok. The puppy came round and she was really good with us humans, but the puppies didn't get on well with the 'new arrival' they were a little too jealous. We have spoken to the centre and they are happy for us to donate items for her (Toys, food, towels, and treats) then when she goes they will pass them on to another puppy. But they are sure she will get a home at a snap of there fingers! I took some pictures and I will post them in a bit if i can find them!
The puppies go soon I'm going to be so sad! :( But at least I'm keeping one :)

Today has been scary! The car nearly crashed because of the 'Beast from the East'. I got back from work and let the puppies have a quick play in the snow, they loved it, but they were freezing! Olive is getting better but no walks yet she is on medication and the puppies are missing playing with there mum :( The snow has come down so quickly and is quite thick! I will post a picture of the pups tomorrow. They are 7 weeks tonight! :eek:
 
I can't believe they are 7 weeks. They'll all be off soon then! No snow here other than a few flurries but it's miserably cold.

Wow! I wasn't expecting work to be closed, nearly 20cm of snow frozen. I let the puppies outside for a wee and they dropped below the snow, they disappeared :eek:. I had to put the dog bed in the dryer and I put them next to the warm radiator. Olive seems much better, she had an extremely short walk (to the end of the road and back. I got conformation off the vet) I had a phone call with the Spanish rescue and they are moving the dog that we have been looking at over to the UK in the next month! We need some home checks and some socialiseation with Olive ad Doris before but its looking good :D. The puppies will leave next week and I'm so sad! :( But the snow makes me happy :)
