As promised in my "hello to the forums" note yesterday - we met Milo our puppy yesterday! She is a zillion times more gorgeous than we ever anticipated. Mum, Tess, was just lovely too. Met us at the door and almost "checked us out" before letting us in the back to meet Milo! Very affectionate, docile and observant - also on the smaller side so we're hoping Milo will be too.
In our ridiculous, childlike excitment of the day we completely forgot to take our camera with us so we had to resort to the mobile phone camera which takes very hazy shots. Rest assured we'll be taking some good quality ones as soon as she's home and we get to use the real camera!
Question for the panel though. Breeder and vet have confirmed that she's not to play with other dogs or visit parks / communal areas until she's completed all her vaccinations (a week after her last round - which is scheduled at 11 weeks). So she's obviously confined to the house and garden which should not be a prob. However, we have a neighbourhood cat (Marmalade) which has decided to call our home his home - he's clearly a family cat becuase he's very healthy and sociable. Just wondered what you would advise - do we ban Marmalade from the premises until Milo is fully vaccinated ?
