I remember my dog when she was a fat little puppy. Don't worry j2, she'll grow out of it fast enough and you'll wish she was a fat little puppy again. :P
:shuriken:
That is a great looking puppy!
Here's what mine grew into. :P

She's gorgeous!
Would.
Turned into a cat, huh?Quote:

Might be.
Dogs are the new humans, really.
Yeah, she really is; hugs and kisses abound. :)Quote:

She's sleeping on my toes right now.
Oddly, it seems the cats are pretty good sitters for her.
We have one female who kinda wants to mother her, but ends up being a disciplinarian, for the most part.

The real advantage is that the pup doesn't shit on the carpet and shag the Vicar's leg when he comes a callin'.
You've got a point there :/
That's not saying the Vicar doesn't like it. It's just rude not to ask.
I'm gratified the vicar doesn't know where I live. :huh:
Anyhoo, Goldens stay pretty puppyish all their lives.
We may have had a brea***hrough with the house-breaking already; the missus read on t'web that standard paper-training technique is passe, and after the first couple of days you should pick them up to cement the idea of doing things outside more quickly, so she got rid of the papers two days ago.
Accident-free since then. ;)
:blink:
There's no reason to teach your dog to read, as the paper will just get wet when they go to the toilet outside :happy:Quote:

True story
I introduced myself as the alpha male at the outset; no worries there.Quote:

True story
Her heel is already developing; I've had her out for a couple of mile-long walks already-she only has to rest for a minute or two on the up-hill (it's a pretty good grade).
It was actually kind of funny-I got the impression some of the drivers going by us thought I had one of those gimmick empty leashes, the way the had to look down to see there was a real dog, she's still so tiny.
The "code-word-for-crap" is a solid idea, though.
Consistancy is the watchword.
Don't you think "consistancy" is a bit of a long word for a pup?
:shuriken:
If you were going to name a pup Consistancy?Quote:

This is my tiny manx cat. She's fully grown but so small its untrue.

In 98% out of ten, people with cats are gay. Fact.
Hehe, my poor cat. He's a barn cat through and through...the only part of his parentage we're sure of is Siamese from his dad's side. Must be doing something right though; he's 15 and healthy as a horse. :PQuote:

Aww,
I LOVE cats
I have 3 of them myself.
2 tortoise shell coloured ones that are ex-feral. They're grown up now but they're still tiny
And one huge black and white fluffy one. Her name is Jess because she looks exactly like the cat from Postman Pat :lol:
Jess bullies the other two though :(
Good idea, except too many syllables. ;)Quote:
