I'm so glad you're welcoming another doggie into your family!

Where's she come from? How old is she? Tell us all about her.

She's beautiful, of course.

I genuinely need my head tested. Miss Shadow is almost ten weeks old. Her name was originally Bramble (christened by moi) but en route to her vet check my husband said she is like your shadow and him and my son decided that was a far better name, so it stuck!

We went down the KC route, she has been here just over a week and holy Moses, it's like the Tasmanian devil came to town.

Don't be fooled by those puppy dog eyes, satan himself created her. She would have you believe she is never fed, can only be handled buy someone in a spacesuit if they want to keep their limbs and has to be policed at all waking hours to prevent blowing herself up, leaping up the stairs or ingesting, oh anything.

She is smart as a whip, completely house trained in less than a week and knows all her basic commands. The kids are still a bit wary of her as she is mouthy as hell but we are VERY slowly dealing with that. I was able to come down this morning in bare feet and not become attached to her needles. My sons brand new, birthday Sonic theHedgehog slippers sadly are well mauled.

The whole of the house is strewn with various dog paraphernalia, a massive crate in front of the telly, bedding dragged and left wherever, toys. It's like having a demented toddler who found a tin of red bull.

As I type, the minx is spark out in front of the fire, she's a right hussy and been mothers little helper all week but now my husband is off and home, the skitter hasn't looked left or right at me!

She is on the list for the next set of puppy classes after she recieves her second set of jabs, the poor thing has been dragged everywhere in our arms, school runs, the shops, The Royal Mail sorting office and I have had her out the back on her lead.

I have still been lurking and reading all your goings on and can't wait to share the joy (HA!) that is the shadpad!

Just wait till she starts teething. You'll definitely be feeling the joy.:D

Personally I think you're maligning the poor little pup. That cute face couldn't possibly be contemplating any misdeeds......

This is what she is REALLY like.

Ah yes, the chaos of puppyhood. I remember it well! Amazing how something so small and (let's face it) stupid can turn your life upside down and outsmart you so frequently.

Enjoy, you'll miss this when she's all calm and mature.

Just got my second new puppy home tonight. Not looking forward to the whaling for the first few nights!

Oh, the wonder of new life. We only get crying if I'm not down in the morning sharpish or when food is on the go. It's the wanton destruction, death defying stunts and the liking for swinging of the washing that does me in. I feel, well, I am a new mother again. Sleep, a face full of make up and fancy clothes are but a distant memory.
