Llante

I'll have to get it and read it quickly! She's doing well, but boy does she resist! Stubborn doesn't quite cut it. My husband is stubborn, melody is on a whole other level lol! Lucky she is cute and we love her to bits.

Order 1 placed on 19th says its in Aus and order 2 placed on 23 is still MIA. Come on Wubbas!!

Read a few myself but don't expect puppy to be text book. Having a few issues with my pup. Seems she didn't read the same books I did

My hubby had a more thougher look last night and commented on how white it all is now. So I'm not sure what it was. She has very dark rings under her eyes as coat colour. We go in to the vet tomorrow anyway for a general checkup so I will mention it then. Don't have any more pics than the one I had unfortunately, she did get her second vac Saturday just gone, and a daresay the vet would've given her a check over then too.

Thanks we are both smitten. She is yet to meet the children though! I bet they will be over the moon! I can't believe what a talker she is though! She loves to sing, and sing, and chatter away. It's very cute, but I'm hoping it doesn't turn into a problem. Only her first day so I won't be too hard on her. I'm sure she is just missing her mum and sisters.

Looks blood shot but it also looks that it may be a bit moist with a tear stain. As I said it may be just the way the photo is taken but thought it better to check. Good spotting! My husband is an optometrist and he thinks she has mild conjunctivitis but could be from the flight. We have wiped using a bit of saline solution and it seems to be a lot better today. If it gets any worse ill take her into the vet. I ended up taking her home early because she just wanted to be held and I couldn't. She howled the store down :laugh: Thankfully we weren't busy and the boss loves dogs. I have a few more pics in the photos section :D

And 2 more, just because I can :D :D :D

Sharing our first photos with our pup just taken on an iPhone 5. Not fantastic quality but want to share. Will blow the dust of my DSLR and pray she stays still! Christmas photos are coming soon, so hoping to have matching christmas outfits for the family (including the dogs!)

Here she is! Named "Sweet Little Melody" (because I couldn't decide and I seem to call her Sweetie more than anything) :laugh:

Didn't end up needing most of the things listed thanks to very helpful staff! I did bring lots of love and cuddles, maybe earmuffs for the protest getting into another crate and travelling again.

What a day!! I have definitely gotten the most affectionate out of the litter, it also seems the most dependant. She just wants to be snuggled next to me constantly. Puppy games are fine mum, as long as I can be up here on the couch with you! I worry about how she'll go by herself today. I wish I didn't have to but I have no choice. She can also sing, and is living up to her name. We had a really good night though, she whimpered for a bit but went to sleep. No baying or howling like I was waiting for, and I didn't have to resettle her! So I'm glad for that! Made it to 5:30am for a toilet break! Yippee! I'll just back for a pic!

Iris! <3 she is so cute!!!! I'm watching the in flight checker so far she is on time. Was fine when I woke up but as time goes i'm getting more nervous. Breeder called me to let me know she was on the flight, he seemed a bit sad. He will miss her, and said I will fall in love with her. I hope I do!

Today is the day :dance: ! Now I have to wait until 3:30 and pray the plane is t late or that I don't hit major traffic! I've almost definitely decided on Melody, but I will talk to her and she can tell me what she likes. I spent another $15 on doggy treats for training lol, and have 2 cleanrun orders with things just for her coming! I hope they hurry!! Just have to get through the day now!!! Elz how was the first night with little miss Iris?

This is what I was originally thinking, maybe all these chemicals have dried out his skin or ruined his immune system. I just didn't know it it was a plausible hypothesis. I've not heard of CHM for dogs! I had some for pregnancy years ago. Where did you get it from?

Lots of advice here. Seems every dog is different!! I'll try tea and salt bath (not at the same time) and take him to the vet I just didn't want them to give me medications to cover the problem. I'm a bit like that with my kids. I hate just giving them medicine when there are other things I could do which would fix the root of the problem. I have considered raw in the past but I'm just so worried about not getting all the balances right. I'm not sure he'd eat veggies either, I look at some dogs eatin pumpkin carrot and lettuce and think WTH my dog doesn't even sniff it! I gave him a chicken frame the other day to try and add some raw but he didn't do much with it and I ended up having to collect bits and throw it out. I gave him 3 hours to eat it but was paranoid about chicken going bad. Was I over cautious??
