New addition to the family (Rattus colossus)

I don't usually like small dogs but constant pressure from the GF and a deal having to be made, have made me give in and finance a Shih tzu.

The newest member of our family arrived Monday morning at 6. (Prasarn's Bonds of love) born on the 2 of July-09 a little boy who was promptly renamed Juno.

Monday evening after the GF had enjoyed day one she took of to Uttradit on a previously planned one week holiday, and has left me with the task of looking after the little critter (pretty clever of her, no!!)

Anyway up until now besides the frequent need for attention all is good, no accidents indoors and relations with my imported European 7 pedigree mut Thyra is all going well, Thyra is a very mild tempered dog so I really was not worried about that as much as my GF who thought that Thyra might fancy a quick snack.

One other thing that is working out OK is the collar with a small bell we have put on Juno, I was worried that I would accidentally step on him since I am not used to something that small between my feet all the time, and it works I can hear him when he comes up behind my feet.

The GF bought a massive cage so I have a place to put him when I need to have my attention elsewhere, so all in all Juno and I am good, I think I will even be able to sneak out for a couple of cold ones a night or two :)

For now I think not doing his business indoors and not chewing in something he shouldn't will suffice :)

You really think that will work better than what we usually do :rolleyes: you know waving 1000 bath notes about, panting with our tongues out and making horny growling noises.

Decent hmmmm:mid: but yes it looks much like yours :)

Apart from all that Juno is now sleeping having come through day number two with flying colours (hair), managed to jump his own height up one step to the front porch, managed yet another day without having any wet or smelly accidents indoors, and Juno is eating well and drinking more water after I put some in a small bowl instead of that hamster bottle the breeder brought, and he has put the fear of God into Thyra, or at least Juno thinks so himself :)

I absolutely don't, imagine me walking peacefully down the road with the Missus and the dog, calling him back "Loy Toy Loy Toy come here", and out of every window within a mile all these old slappers sticking their boobs out screaming "where Loy Toy, where teeeee laaak Loy Toy" after that I would have trouble getting free pass to go out having a drink with you me thinks. That name is best kept where it belongs:):):)

I'm telling you, 5 steps of mine must feel like half a mile to Juno, the little legs are going like propellers trying to keep up, so walking and "mincing" will be minimal. :)
