In the end, we couldn't wait until Saturday to get Chynna from the breeder's. So P and I took Friday afternoon off work, rented a car, and drove a six-hour round trip journey to pick up our new puppy.
On the way home, she sat in my lap on a soft fleece blanket. Unfortunately, the breeder ignored my request not to feed her and due to the 'stop-start' traffic on the motorway, our little friend heaved four times! I couldn't manage to open the plastic bag in time so had to catch the first one with my hand ha ha. Puppies have no clue about the value of jewelry and she had no qualms about regurgitating her food on my very expensive diamond rings. :-)
P and I were both apprehensive about her first night home but we needn't have worried. We didn't sleep well at all but it was all in our heads. After crying for less than 30 seconds (which we ignored), she settled in with her snuggle puppy (a soft toy with a battery-operated beating heart and heart pad to simulate a litter mate) and slept soundly. I woke her up at 2.30am for a pee break, but realized the following morning when the breeder emailed that she could have held it the whole night! Thanks for telling me, NOT!!!
We took 11-week-old Chynna to the vet yesterday for her puppy check up and she was given the all clear. She weighed in at 2.55 kg. She will go back in a month to have her weight monitored and for another worming session.
Last night was good as well (and fingers crossed that this is how it will be moving forward!) and she slept until 4.30am when I took her out for a potty break. We then both went back to bed and laid in until 6.45am.
Chynna is a gorgeous little creature with a sweet face and cute personality. She already knows her name and commands like 'come', 'in your basket' and 'go pee pee'. We are working on 'sit' and 'down' as well as doing some leash work.
We have decided that she is a pie, a cutie pie. And I'm sure that when you all see these photos of her, you will think so too!
