This is our new puppy.
He’s a 7 weeks old Shichi (shih-tzu/chihuahua)
We haven’t named him yet.
He kept kissing BabyCat on the nose.
BabyCat is making friends with her new brother.
BabyCat is showing her Mothering skills.
She watches the tiny fluff with guarded interest.
Tonight’s our first night with him, I hope it goes well.
Here’s hoping you all have a weekend full of snuggles and hugs.
Hadn’t heard of this mix yet. Adorable! But then, what puppy isn’t?
Hope everyone slept well and had a good night.
Thanks Patti
My husband slept pretty well…
I didn’t sleep much at all. I think that Mother instinct of hearing a baby’s slightest sound has kicked in. I was up every hour with our new babe.
The person we got our puppy from had given him a puppy-shot and worm meds, so I’m quite attentive of his needs to get up so often and drink or use the puppy-pads.
Plus, it was his first night away from his Mum & siblings, so I felt sorry for the wee-fellow.
He is darling E.C.!
Thanks Pix
awww…. he’s so cute… I envy him cuz he has a kitteh to kiss on the nose… x0x0x Vanilla Bean the ShihPoo
p.s. I hope you’ll choose apt name for him…happy weekend
Thanks Twinkle with Fiesty Furballs.
I think your Vanilla Bean is adorable.
Thanks for visiting.
Cute, E.C. Remember “The Dog” at our place? We’ve been gifted with two more throw-away dogs, both females, and one of them will have puppies soon. Our local animal shelter will not take animals which have been dropped in the country. Maybe I would like a dog better if I were allowed to choose it instead of having someone cast it aside on me.
Oh my Charlotte,
Babycat was dumped on us when she was pregnant. She had 6 but only 5 lived, Our vet adopted out the kittens because we had her spade. Maybe your vet would consider doing that if you the dogs spade?
I understand what you mean about the dogs. It’s a tough thing to have folks be so cruel to their animals and so disrespectful to you all by dumping them there. It’s awful.
I wish you the best on sometime soon being able to resolve the strays.
Congrats on your new “baby.” He’s so adorable.
Thanks Mimi
A Shichi? First time I’ve heard of this breed – an interesting combination of a shih-tzu and a chihuahua.
Awww, he is absolutely gorgeous! Looks like your cat is going to get along nicely with him, a good start. Hope he settles in and please keep us up to date on his progress. I’d love to see how he grows.
Thanks Barb
We’d never heard of one either. From everything I’ve read, our puppy could be around 5 to 9 pounds. It’ll be interesting to see how big he grows to.
I’m going to try to update once a week. My blogging isn’t as prolific as it was, I think it’s the lazy days of Summer.
I shall look forward to your posts about his progress. Have you decided on a name yet?
Hey Barb
We’ve narrowed the names down to a couple. We’re trying to see which one he likes the best. It’s amazing how much he’s changed since we got him last Thursday. I figure I’ll be posting his name soon.
He is absolutely adorable! And I just love how kitty has taken a liking to him. So precious!
Thanks Leah
He’s a comical mess. We’re so pleased with how well Babycat is with him.
E.C!!! Just thought I’d pop in to say hello and oh boy, just in time to see the new addition to the family!!! Adorable!!! And Baby Cat is being so receptive!! Big hugs, Margie
Hey Margie
Thanks so much. I hope you’re having a wonderful Summer. I’m slow about blogging during these lazy days of Summer.
Yep BabyCat is peach of a patient siser, the puppy is starting to get fiesty and taking over at the speed of light. (((hugs to you too)))
What a cutie!
Whew! BabyCat approves.
Thanks Tina
We were concerned about Babycat’s reaction because she’s killed and eat larger wildlife than him.
Thankfully she proved to be a sweet heart and has guardingly accepted him as a part of our family.
