Yes, purchased! I have bought a lot of puppy things, including 2 kongs (plus a new one for Quinn!), the breeder recommended "favourite toy" of all her puppies, a snuffle mat, a puzzle toy, chews....we have a collar, leash, blanket. Food will be ordered next week.

So we've now got the XL crate with divider, soft crate, two small beds, puppy pads, and gates. Prepared for any scenario! Now we wait....

Good news, and fingers crossed she continues to improve!

Omg, I'm so sorry Helen. Hoping there is some improvement after some rest. Is she able to eat? Thinking of you :hug:

Hi from myself and Quinn, 5 years old in Ontario Canada! Quinn has both digestive issues and seasonal allergies - fingers crossed that the elimination diet helps! We found that a single novel protein diet and probiotics settled her issues (after a hypo diet period) and even helped slightly with...

Happy Labradors day! I bought Quinn some special treats for today - she’s definitely my Valentine (love of my life!). Hope GGJ enjoys her steak!

Thanks everyone! I have compiled the feedback to present to OH! I have no idea how people name humans...naming a dog is hard enough!

I always wonder if Quinn has a boring life but dogs do sleep a ton! Our weekdays are the same, but weekends totally different. We do 8am walk -40mins to 1 hour 9:15 breakfast Sleep/wait for OH 10:30am - share OH’s snacks Sleep until 1ish - outside to play hockey or a 30min walk Sleep until...

OH axed Irish names he can’t pronounce 🤣🤣 We were in a battle over Molly - his brother won and is naming his yellow pup Molly (only 10 days apart in age!)

I love Rory!! The pups mom is named Aurora so it’s actually a neat tribute

I’ve literally re-read all you Bear threads since he’s the most recent pup 🤣

Ugh...almost nothing! Boy names are so much better for dogs! Our criteria is something that sounds good with Quinn and is in the same ballpark (unisex, not too human but not too "doggy" - does that even exist!) Some that are under discussion - Beckley "Beck" (a place we traveled through our...

Yes, we are! It's all we talk about (names and how Quinn is going to react mostly!) - it's even worse that there is absolutely nothing to do as we have been under Stay at Home Orders since early Jan and lockdown since November and it's -21C - no distractions to help pass the time at all!!

Definitely need to prepare mentally that all puppies are different! I've ordered a crate and I think I am leaning towards a pen on the main floor and then we will move things around based on how things go!

Quinn was on a hypo diet after her surgeries - the only canned one she liked was the Hills and we went with the Purina HA kibble and she did well on both. Once she was settled, I transitioned her to Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Lamb/Oatmeal and it's the best she's been in terms of coat...

I can’t tell which one this is, but the pups are getting bigger. Just over 5 weeks!

It's a choccie thing though, right? RIGHT.

I remember that!!

haha well 2.5 weeks ish, depending on when we schedule our pickup time!

I'm having trouble figuring out how to manage two dogs and our common space and sleeping set up. Things were easy with Quinn - her crate was in our bedroom and we had gates up in the kitchen/living space, and everything was on one floor. In this house, we want the crate in our main living area -...
