10 Weeks

Tilly is 10 weeks old today - we didn't through a party we have not gone that soppy yet! She is off to the vets this evening for her second set of jabs so we will be able to take her into the big wide world in a weeks time!

She is settling into her run well - she crys for a minute of two when we leave her but then is fine for a good 3-4 hours. She does hate the rain though and refused to go outside for more than 30 seconds when it has been raining hard.

We decided to try her in the boot of the car without the crate in - withing 2 minutes of leaving the house there was a pretty horrid smell emanating from the boot. We turned round sharpish and spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the boot. Maybe we'll stick to the crate in future.

Here are a couple of pictures - I think she heard that we really wanted an andrex puppy so is trying to make up for it!

Socialising...

We have started Tilly with a bit of light socialisation. Jon sat with her in the boot of the car at Morrison while Rach did the shopping. Isn't it funny how a cute pup attracts people. Tilly loves every second of meeting new people.

When it came to animals it was a little different. Tilly's run backs onto our neighbours fence where Jack (Neighbours Collie) lives. Well they meet for the first time - Tilly yelped and shot inside - Jack wondering what he had done wrong did the same!

We took Tilly to our neighbours who have a 9yr old Black Lab - 'Archie' he is a lovely soft dog and Tilly spent about an hour working up the courage to play with him. She will get there slowly.

She is a little braver with next doors cats who regularly come visiting - the picture shows her trying to get a twig that has fallen preciously close to 'Whiskey'. She never managed to get it!

Photos...

Took the camera out for a play at the weekend! She is hard work as it is rare she keeps still for more than a second! I did manage to catch her asleep though - with her tongue peeking out! She is such a cutie!

The first week...

Sorry for the lack of updates. Tilly's first chewing victim was the laptop cable! It is unrepairable so need a new one. I may try and convince Rachel we need a new laptop but I don't fancy my chances.

Well we have had Tilly for just over a week now. She is so much fun it is unbelievable. She loves the garden and her favourite game is to run between staying only long enough for a quick hug before bounding back to the other!

She had a first trip to the Vet which went amazingly well - it is the first time I have seen her nervous since we have had her. It must be the smell. Within 2 minutes of being on the table she was back to normal again - trying to bite the vets face!

House training is going very well - she has never had an y accidents in her crate which we have been shutting her in over night getting up every now and then to let her out. Last night she managed from 9pm - 4.30am. Bring on a full night.

I have been working nights getting home at 530am. Unfortunately Tilly then wants to play at about 830am. Has not left much time for sleeping!

Today is her first Holiday - we are going to Rachel's parents (about a 45 min drive). We are going to try her in the crate in the car for the first time. Here's hoping. Will take the camera with us so hopefully some new pics tomorrow.

At last she is home...

Far to tired to put full update on but will do it in days to come.

Tilly is now with us at home - she seems very happy and is being a little gem.

Here are a few pictures of her first day.

In the Bath...

Linda sent us some pictures of Tilly getting her pre moving home bath. I do think that is possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen!

Not long now!
