Don't worry! They do not belong to me! I'm good with my sweet four!
No, my parents' have not one, not two, but THREE new puppies! My parents' neighbor owns a ranch about 100 miles north of here and a female dog had puppies on their property. She had a litter of five and my parents' neighbor rescued THREE of them. She can't take them (she has 6 of her own), but she knew that my parents' lost Kandie 2 months ago and they have been tinkering around with getting one, maybe two puppies. LB is going to be 12 years old at the end of this month. He is slowing down a bit. He is also starting to lose his hearing, poor little guy.
Anyways, my parents could not say no, and they have had them for about a week. So who wants to say HELLO to Jake, Ginger and Jeannie??
Here are 2 of them in Mom's lap. Jake is on the left; Jeannie is on the right.
Ginger is in my DH's hands.
And little Jeannie is in my dad's arms:
Aren't they like the cutest things you have every seen?? OMG they are cuter in person! And I'm already in love!
THey did have their 1st vet appt a few days ago. They are 7 wks old, and are Australian Cattle Dogs. They weigh 6 lbs, with Ginger weighing in at 6 lbs 4.5 ozs. And just look at those paws! They have been estimated to be about the size of my Penny, when they are about 2-3 yrs old. That's about 50-60 lbs. Big puppies!
And Little Bit is slowly adjusting to them. He's probably thinking "keep them in the pen!" LOL. They do eat and sleep in there, and of course learning to potty on the puppy pad. But for a few hours each day, they get supervised play time in the living room and a little spot in the yard. My parents said LB doesn't mind one on one time them. He just doesn't like when all 3 of them rush at him. But sooner than later, he'll get used to them and they'll know he's the boss!
Adorable Brandy, but OMG the work your parents took on!! Three puppies!! I know at one time my sister had two baby labs, and she was ready to hang herself. I personally have only ever done one pup at a time - with the older dogs, though, I've had up to four at one time, but omg. I'm sure your parents will totally enjoy them, though, and yes, they are so dang cute!!
Hey, I've been in your sisters shoes before! Ruby and Bear are litter mates and they were 8 wks old when I got them. I was also going to school part time, working full time, along with caring for a senior dog (Butterrscotch, she had cancer in the back, bless her heart. She was 12 when they were born). I was ready to pull my hair out with them two. LOL..but luckily, that feeling goes away. Now I've got 2 gorgoues 10 year old black girl labs.sherelm wrote:Adorable Brandy, but OMG the work your parents took on!! Three puppies!!

So yes, they have taken on alot of work. But within the week that they have had them, they've done so well. My parents are doing good too.

OMG, the cuteness!!!! I can almost feel the soft fuzzy, squirmy little bundles!!! I think 3 puppies at once would be a lot easier than 3 babies... take them all out to potty together, they can eat together, etc... Good luck!!!

Yeah, I think you are right. 3 puppies are easier than 3 babies. They are all on the same schedule!
