I'm so excited (Ohhh weeeeee) and I just can't hide it (No No No No No)

Anyways, plans are underway, oh my dOG thier is such a lot to do, puppy proofing etc etc

Does anyone have a puppy sling/papoose I could loan - not an immediate emergency (not needed until March)

*skips off all happy*

what what What WHat WHAT is going on???????????

The time is getting nearer - 2 weeks til pupsters are born. Fingers crossed that mums have an easy birth and that pupsters are all healthy

what in gods name is a papoose?????!!!!!!!!!! and a puppy sling for that matter!!!!! am i really that out of touch????

do i need one????

Just a pet carrier type thing for socialising your pupster. With new vaccination guidelines meaning pups last vaccs are at 14 weeks even more important to make sure pup is out and about getting socialised but not picking up any nasties

Hi Kelly - exciting news!
Maybe Tilly was an extreme case but I would never have got her to stay in one of those carriers as a pup - had terrible trouble carrying her even at nine weeks and ended up putting collar and lead on her to give me something to hang on to and keeping a very very firm grip indeed. She was very muscular, very wriggly and just wanted to be on the ground - and those kangaroo back legs were very very strong indeed!

I did post about it at the time on the Champdogs forum 'socialising wriggly puppy' and had lots of good advice but don't know how to link to it from here ...

Maybe your pup will be easier though (or maybe some of the carriers have some kind of harness inside?)...

We put Dotty in a game bag which she LOVED!

Helen

We used a rucksack/backpack carried it reverse so your face to face with the pup lined the bottom with a towel for accidents, lots of licks when you carry him/her.
introduced it as part of game hiding things in the bag, he loved it ! ideal for trips to the vets etc

It sounds all so exciting Kelly...can't wait myself

When Fippy was wee I didn't know about these carrier thingies for dogs, I did as Gingerella said, put a lead and collar on, sat with her on a bench in the Highstreet and carried her about. Soo many people come and speak to you if you sit there with a puppy

Think Jack might put a little strain on your back now Sarah. . . but please post piccies if you try him in one

I have a video of Daisy asleep on her back (AT 3yrs OLD!) in a babies car seat with her legs in the air rocking herself to sleep, tis' about as close as I got to a puppy sling

Ooooo how very exciting

Just wait till you find out who baby Welshie's new playmate might be Any ideas??????

*walks away chuckling to self*

Nooooo I am too poppied up to start guessing at secrets !!!

No idea, but do not keep us waiting for the answer till March

Kelly
I had a good chat with Sue last night, a little lady went to the vets and they still don't know if she is or not, the first little lady is most definitely full of pups, Sue says she is enormous and really playing up to the fact.
