Hi
In December, we extended our family and promised Carmel, of Dundathu, that we would let her know how “Moe and Ginger” were going …
At the beginning of the Christmas holidays Mum and Dad spotted an advertisement on the internet about a couple of adorable puppies ready to go to some welcoming homes from a Pet Warriors place in Dundathu. The whole family travelled there to check the puppies out, and it was like love at first sight! We filled a couple of forms out then got the puppies ready to travel in the car.
A quick name change in the car on the way home had Moe and Ginger renamed Buddy and Sapphire. When the puppies arrived at their new home they got comfortable pretty fast. Their bed was the cardboard box that they were in when they were in the car coming home.
On the first and second nights Yu-An and Jake stayed up until almost midnight to tend to the puppies to make sure they were relaxed enough to sleep for at least a few hours. Everybody in the house also woke up really early that morning as well. As the first week flew by Sapphire seemed to be a bit more inquisitive than Buddy as well as a bit more energetic. Buddy loved to be cuddled up to and when about a month had passed he came up to us when we were sitting on the ground and snuggled in on/next to our lap.
After they went to a couple of obedience classes they learnt to respond to a couple of commands as long as they had some “encouragement” (food). Getting up early in the morning soon became like a daily ritual, especially for Yu-An, who got up early before the puppies “motivated” us to get up.
A month ago Buddy and Sapphire graduated from puppy preschool and now they have just started puppy teen school. We also have made a luxurious bed for them. We have been taking them to the beach and for small walks around the block.
So, I’d say “Buddy and Sapphire” are doing just great!
