Yippee... we went to see him!

Today, we went to see Jesse and co. as well as of course Pauline and Leigh. It was quite a long journey (4 hours there and 4 back), but well worth it. Con and Josie came as well and everyone absolutely loved it.

When we first arrived, we met the puppies that Pauline took out into the sitting room. We all had a cuddle... all the puppies are gorgeous, but of course Jesse is super gorgeous! After seeing all the pictures of him, it was lovely to finally see him in the flesh! He is even more beautiful than in the pictures. They are also getting their first little teeth!

After cuddling them, they wanted a quick snack meal from mum, then they went back into their pen for a nap!

Pauline and Leigh then produced really nice sandwiches, crisps etc. It went down very well indeed!

Just before we went, I sat in the puppy pen for a few minutes to spend a little more time with Jesse. He is so laid back and just takes it all in his stride! I can't wait to bring him home!

Oh, and we also heard Jesse's very first bark... LOL

And here we go... the pictures!

Jesse... his hair is getting longer and he looks all wavey...




Isn't he just beautiful!


And here's Jesse with his sister Jazz

And I love these two pictures of Presley and Minnie




And Jesse had his first face clip today... Pauline took a picture!


After meeting Pauline and Leigh personally, Jesse and the other dogs, I now have peace of mind and confirmation that I have made the right decisions re breeder (dogs brought up indoors, everything very clean, dogs happy and friendly, very knowledgeable people etc.) and also re Jesse. His laid back nature (from what we could see so far) will be perfect and he will fit right in with Dylan, Flash and Troy!

Getting the taste for it

Jesse is finally getting a taste for food...



Aren't they all tiny...


(Pictures taken 19th January)

Jesse on the move

The puppies had a meaty meal today. Pauline says that Jesse wasn't too keen... Maybe he knows that his brother-to-be is a vegan dog and he reckons he'll give it a go too.. LOL




And Jesse finally on the move...

Organising Sunday

We are going to see Jesse this Sunday. Karen has kindly agreed to doggie sit Dylan, Flash and Troy for us, so I don't have to worry about them when we are in the house with the puppies.

Also, Pauline is working on a kennel name for Jesse. There are some suggestions, but I will ask Cornel tonight as he is a western fan. It will be something connected to Jesse James I am sure... perhaps Cornel will like the name a bit better then too...

I will need to remember to bring a towel/blanket or something with me to leave behind with Pauline. When we pick Jesse up we can take it back with us so he has got something smelling familiar to him.

First Meal!

Jesse and his litter mates had their first meal today... and did they make a mess of it or what... LOL




And here his brother and sisters:

Presley

And having a rest after all the excitement:


Jesse and Jazz

18 days old

Got the latest picture yesterday (13th January) of Jesse at 18 days old! They are getting longer hair now and have had their first nail clip experience. They have also started leaving their bed now to wee on paper! Clever puppies.
I think their ears are now getting longer too.



Jesse was wormed for the first time today, 14th January. Tomorrow, Pauline will start weaning them. I can't believe that they are already at this stage... time flies... and yet, it doesn't seem to go fast enough... :-)

Hearing

The puppies are starting to react to loud noises (door banging, switch hoover on), but not yet to every day noises... so the hearing is slowly developping.

And this whole photographing business is ever so tiring...

First picture with eyes open

Pauline sent me a couple of pictures of Jesse with eyes open. She has taken them from a distance. He is supercute... I think he is going to be quite a character.

Eyes open!

Yipee, eyes are open today at 12 days old... Pauline is not able to take any pictures just yet due to the eyes being "all new" and sensitive and tender. But we will get some in a couple of days.

I realised that I haven't posted pictures yet of Jesse's father: Merikee Maverick (pet name Bex)




Isn't he just so handsome. (All taken from Merikee website)

Look at me now

Pauline sent me some new pictures taken today! They really start looking like proper puppies now! Doesn't Jesse just have the most gorgeous colour!

Oh, and I also got the receipt for my deposit.
