Roxanne Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 So you're not too busy at the moment then Clare!! I'm a national sponsor on my 3rd guide dog and get updates in the post regularly - the little ones are so cute! I think the greyhound will be fine as he has been with you for a while and it now used to seeing other dogs - they only flip when they first come out of kennels as they only know their own breed. Can't wait to see the photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 just had the phone call. It is definately Keeta and she's coming tomorrow afternoon. We've been out and got the bed, toys and bowls now so feel prepared - breathe deeply!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 How exciting . I saw a woman today with a "guide dog puppy in training" and thought of you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgley Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It's Quita! and She's beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 oooh how exciting. James' school are collecting for a guide dog puppy this year. This is entirely the kind of charitable collection I approve of for children - they will be able to see tangible results that they can all understand (sorry but I think they are all too distanced from children in need etc). They are all very excited which makes me really happy. Oh the chicken keeping course just got even more exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 It's Quita! and She's beautiful. Thanks Smudgley - know how to spell it now! (Smudgley works with the breeding females and litters before they go out to puppy walkers) So far there are 3 puppy walkers and one person who actually works for the association (Smudgley) on the forum. I think Christian did some work experience with them too at some stage, but it could have been someone else. We're expecting her around lunch time. My daughter is off school today because she was sick in the night (she's really dissapointed she will be here when Quita gets here! ) Pictures to follow soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Oooo, how exciting, I shall be checking every half hour for photos! Kiss those silky paws and ears for me. I remember Lesley's Jazz when she was little - so gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Wow, just caught up with this thread, hope your daughter is better and can't wait to see the pictures! I can't even begin to imagine how you're all feeling!! She could even be nearly there by now!! Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Is she here yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Here we are - Introducing Quita !.................. she's so tiny! She's been really good, done two Busy's (the command we will teach her to relieve herself) on the concrete outside, and is now asleep under a chair. There was a confusion with headquarters and we havn't been given an indoor kennel, so that's being sorted out this afternoon hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Can I take her to bed tonight? I love sleeping puppies Biscuit would be really narked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Sorry Claret - she's not allowed out today and you're a bit far away!!! She is particularly cuddly though and still fast asleep. She came down from the breeding centre in Warwickshire to the headquarters in essex, then up to us so no wonder she's tired! She's 6 weeks old (someone asked!) I think I'm going to have to get used to being covered in yellow hair constantly! Holly the greyhound doesn't shed hair, so it will be interesting having a "real" dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Oh, she must've come right past our door then and didn't even stop for a cuddle. I'm getting all broody now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
