Oh really?? Wow that must take it out of you!
What’s the reason they have behind no carrying equipment?

Safety for the pup - if you fall it’s safer, they say, for the pup to be held without a carrier.

Oh that’s interesting....Safety for the pup - if you fall it’s safer, they say, for the pup to be held without a carrier.
Oh wow! Just gorgeous!!! Tatze is the most incredible host welcoming a new puppy into her home like that. She is just wonderful. You must feel so proud.
I once fell down the stairs holding puppy Snowie. Taking him out in the middle of the night for a wee. In the dark. Didn’t realize there was still the last step. Clearly sleep deprived. Fell forward thud onto the mat at the bottom of the stairs. Never let Snowie go!!! And managed not to fall on him. instinct override. It was sore. But only for me I presume! If he were in a carrier bag, I guess I would not have had such control over where he would’ve fallen?

I guess you're less likely to land on them that way. Not sure what that says about baby carriers though?!Safety for the pup - if you fall it’s safer, they say, for the pup to be held without a carrier.

That’s exactly what I thought!
Here is my son with my great niece on a walk last week - he said he’s never concentrated as much in his life - and he’s an airline pilot!

Today is our first Trip Out. I’m taking him to art class - just for half an hour, ‘tho we’ll be working up to staying all morning like Spencer did.

We’re back - of course, he lapped up all the admiration and had a good explore of the building. We tried a little indoor lead walk and he was fine - he didn’t really notice the lead as everything was far too interesting.
I came away with art homework which I shall have a go at - a watercolour barn owl.

Yesterday evening he slept a lot of the evening so I thought we might be in for a wakey night. But no, bed at 10pm, one wee break and up at 6:30am.
Good boy!
This was not an easy photo to take, every time I got him posed he got up again.

Trip to the vet - 7Kg 
First little walk in a supermarket - he was really good. And good in the car too, touch wood that continues -
every one of my little pups has been awful in the car for the first couple of weeks!

He sounds like the perfect pup 
Wonder if he will be more ‘energetic / inquisitive’ as he hits the teenage stage?

He slept all night - hurrah! 10pm to 6:45am. I needed a wee in the night (TMI!) but didn’t go as I didn’t want to wake him up; he’s training my bladder as much as I’m training his! 
He follows Tatze around and lies next to her but has never jumped on her or used his teeth to play with her - I don’t know if she’s relieved or confused!
He’s hungry all the time even ‘tho he’s put on 2Kg in a week. I dare not up his food yet or he’ll be a little barrel! His second breakfast is at 11am and he’s now sitting by the food cupboard looking at me appealingly.
I’m off to Pilates soon and Mr Boogs is on puppy duty for the morning.

It’s probably the best time to get one.
My life is so mental at the minute that I don’t think I’d notice one more thing being thrown in that much
