Chipped and ready to go!


I chickened out! I have never had to call the vet to the house before but I just couldn't face taking 18 x 7 week old pups to the surgery for micro chipping. The vet arrived at 9:30 this morning and by just after 10 all the pups and Diva (my sphynx girl) had been chipped, the only one to make a sound was Tiny Tim(pictured strutting his stuff below). A couple were a little shell shocked for a minute, but they were all up and running by the time the vet left, thank you very much Sam.

All Dollars pups except for 1 blue boy(pictured) now have homes but unfortunately we now have 3 apricot boys and 2 apricot girls needing homes, some of these pups had had homes waiting, but for genuine reasons these homes are no longer in a position to take them (better to make that decision before they come and see the pups than after they have taken them home) . Hopefully the right homes will come forward once Christmas is over, though I would be pleased to chat to anyone interested in these babies before that.

All the pups have come on wonderfully, there is not a nervous pup amongst them, the house training has been started (sort of), in the last 5 days we have only had two poos indoors, much helped by the dry mild weather we have had, and they have not had any poos overnight for nearly two weeks now! Wee on the other hand, are still being worked on, though the majority are now either on the newspaper or on the way to the back door :). Some of these pups have real show potential, not only do they have good conformation they have that attitude that says 'look at me'. All in all I couldn't be happier with the litters. The first pups will be off to pastures new this week.

Miss T's kittens are now getting to the stage where they are taking in what is going on around them, they have not yet left the nest but I don't think it will be long. At the moment I will be looking for homes for the 3 boys as I hope to be keeping the girl (haven't mentioned it to Graham yet!







I would like to wish all those with an Itzapromise dog or cat a very Happy Christmas and the same to all those that don't yet have one.

Really hope the last pups find their forever families soon because its hard resisting the temptation to add more to our poodle family- they're just so gorgeous:-)

Happy Christmas to all of you, too, and all the best for 2012. Hope it is a quieter year for you, and look forward to seeing how Spirit and Dime mature.
I can't wait for my Itzapromise girl to join me, and hope all the other pups... stunning little characters every one...soon find special loving homes.
Thanks for everything, Jane.
