Eeek! PUPPEEEEEEEE! LOL Hi Gretchen, you sure are CUTE!

Isn't 7 weeks very young to remove puppies from their mom and littermates? Here in RI, it is illegal to remove them prior to 9 weeks; and most breeders hold them to 12 weeks for proper socialization -- though with other dogs in the home, I suspect she will learn her manners, lol.

Oh my goodness. So adorable.
Congrats to your new addition and welcome to PT sweet Gretchen.

She is just turning 9 weeks this week. A rescue group pulled mom/dad and siblings from a very terrible situation at 4 weeks. They have been socialized with big, small, older, younger inbetween. Mom was able to do her job in safe place.

Coco loves getting kisses from Gretchen.
