    We got another dog!

    Well after seaching at 4 shelters (one that was over an hour away) and going to many of the shelters 4 times we decided to shop the ads in the paper.

    We came home with a 7 week old shih tzu/pooldle mix, he is very cute all black with wavy hair. I have never owned a puppy before, I have always rescued young to medium age dogs from the pound. He is so helpless. I will post a picture on Monday from work my home computer won't load the kodak software.

    Casey has done fine so far her tail was even wagging when she sniffed him.

    I had been second on a waiting list at our high kill shelter for a little chihuaha mix girl with a crooked smile and long hair. The person who was first on the list showed up and the other 2 small dogs had people fighting over them. The ironic thing about it was 2 of the small dogs were brother and sister, the owner showed up and said his wife threw them outside and called animal control to report them as strays...he said they weren't safe at his home and he had just shown up at opening time to say goodbye, me and all the other ladies starting crying because this big tough looking guy was telling her "goodbye baby you have a good life" sigh....

    Does anybody have any "puppy" knowledge? Can I bathe him yet? How often should he be fed?

    No baths yet.....puppies skin is generally too sensitive until 4-6 months for baths and as for feeding...smaller amounts at regular intervals for the first while will really help with housebreaking (outside about 1/2 hour after eating until they go)

    Hope this helps a bit......if I'm totally wrong someone please say lol

    Yes they will drop in a while....different all the time....If they haven't dropped by six months then the vet should be consulted

    Thanks!

    My daughter saw 2 of the nipples in that area and she was saying "here they are!" it was pretty funny.
