We picked up our gorgeous little boy Smidge today - and for all of you who said we should pick Miguel (as he was called then) you were so so right. He is exactly what we wished for and more. :wub: He travelled the 4 hours drive home like he'd travelled all his life. Steve thought I should put him in his bed down by my feet, so he wouldn't see the scenery rushing before his eyes and make him feel sick. I tried, but no, he wanted to be up looking out of the window! He slept for about 30 mins if the journey, and the rest of the time he was up taking it all in, and excited about things he hasn't seen before. He was mesmerised by the traffic lights!!

Before we left Andrew and Julie's we did the whole broods DNA samples for profiling and parent analysis. Not that we don't know who the parents are of course, but we think it is the way forward, and that before long DNA profiling will be commonplace. It was very simple to do, and inexpensive too. If either of our dogs are used at stud in the future they will be profiled ready.

The rest of the dogs sniffed him before we left, and I was pleased that they seemed to like him. When we got home he went prancing around the lounge like he'd lived here forever, pounced on Sweep (which gave him a shock (w00t) ) - and then went over to the fireplace and chewed the stone, which was exactly what Sweep did as a pup. The dog I thought would be his best friend here, Sweep's sister Nibs (Moondust), is actually afraid of him. I'm sure she'll come round in a day or two. o

This picture is Sweep and his boy together on the settee about an hour after we got home :wub: :wub: They're going to be great pals :thumbsup:

Sleeping soundly - hope he does tonight!

Will post more pics when I take some :thumbsup:

Thank you all for you good wishes. We are so pleased with him. I haven't been online today until now - and that's a first!! I normally look in sometime in the morning, from home or work. Of course I've had my hands full today :- " But, watching him closely is paying off, he has been 100% clean in the first 24 hours, all wees and poos outside. I'm glad it's not been raining as I don't think he'd have been so keen to go out

I'm making the most of him being asleep at the moment :lol:

He will be doing the rounds at the Champs, coming to meet you all for hugs :huggles:

Darc he is so much like Sweep, except his eyes are lighter. They might go a bit darker yet as they have only just changed from blue.

He slept between our pillows last night, and slept through until 7.30am when Jenna woke us all barking. Bet he doesn't do it again tonight though, I think he was worn out from the journey. We're going to have puppy playtime before we go to bed tonight - that should wear him out :lol:

Auntie Nibs is not so scared of him today, and chased him around the lounge this morning. Afterwards they curled up on the settee together.

He's even won his way into Granny Mouses's heart :wub: and we thought she wouldn't like him much :teehee:

Then he thought Steve would suit a piercing (w00t) Little darling!!
