Tibetan Terrier Madness

Now 10 1/2 weeks old, the puppies are just fun! Mad!

Haring around at Tibetan Terrier miles per hour, running into things, jumping over each other, barking for attention... This is a house of Tibetan Terrier madness...

But we love it!

At just under 9 weeks old, Mario, our "Sable", went to his new home. We've heard he's loving his new toys and being in the garden, and we all think of him, but know that he's gone to a family who will love him very much.

Tomorrow, Zeus, our "Ryan", is leaving us for his new home too. The puppy's characters have really developed since they were 8-9 weeks old, and I can see why some breeders or people showing dogs will wait until this time, before they make their decisions about which puppy to keep or buy.

Zeus is the youngest of the four, and he is lovely natured. He loves to be cuddled especially first thing in the morning and seems to be the most intelligent of the four. I worked on leash training with him last week and he picked it up immediately, and he was the first to learn to "sit" too.  

Oreo, our "Claude" is with us for another 10 days or so. He will have a little further to travel, so it is important that all the right measures are put in place. So Monday week, we'll say goodbye to him. He's 'Oreo the Brave'.  He seems to have no fear, and rather than running away from a strange noise, will run straight up to it. He was the first to discover the stairs and where they lead (we have doors at the bottom but he thought following his mum would be great fun). And any new area, he is allowed to go to, he is right there! He has got a little barky for when he wants attention, so I spoke to my dog trainer (Summer the mum, and I go to Agility classes), and she gave me a few tricks to try. And they seem to be working already! Fingers crossed...

Sky has really been overshadowed by the boys. Whilst Zeus will sit back and watch, and Oreo will dive in, Sky seems to sit between the two. Maybe once Zeus is with his new family, we'll discover more about our little girl!!

Warnings to owners of 10-11 week puppies. Watch your washing! I keep finding socks in the garden. I've now realised that whilst I'm loading the washing machine, if a sock misses the drum, it disappears veeeerrrryyy quickly!!  Washing hanging on the line is also very easily accessible...  As are hanging tea towels in the kitchen....
