Introducing Bonnard

[Helen]

He's just chubby cuz he doesn't have to SHARE at dinnertime!  LOL!  Go Bonnard!

I know what you mean about taking pictures of a black poo.  I keep trying to take pictures of Poco, and every time his black head is just a big black thing with 2 red eyes in it.  Sigh.  He's impossible to photograph.

Well the new penned area is set up and my little blob is sleeping spread out and looking quite content. Pagan is quite happy too, now she's no longer away from the rest of us. Montana is wonderful. She's so fascinated by Bonnard. She's gotten into the whelping box a few times when mom isnt around and given Bonnard a few sniffs and licks, tentatively... now she's trying to get him to play. LOL She'll have to wait a bit for that!

Here is a pic I took this morning of Bonnard with Pagan and all the toys in the whelping box. Montana's been sneaking in when she gets the chance and stealing them!



He sure is a big boy now! He's been getting up on his back legs a bit now... wobbly but he's trying!

[Roland]

Wow! He really is getting big! What a great picture of them. So Montana steals the toys, has she tried to steal Bonnard yet? Bet she can't wait for another play mate.

[zefi]

LOL she's working on it! She's already snuck in repeatedly to try to instigate a game!

Thanks for the photos Zefi - I have been hanging out for new photos of your little one!  I'm thinking Bonnard sees little point in moving around when his litter mates are so sedentary LOL

[Helen]

oooo... he's going to be such a gorgeous boy!   He looks just as fat and cuddley as the toys.  I love him already.

3 weeks old tomorrow and here are some more photos. Bonnard's been up and walking for 2 days now, growling at things and playing with his toys. He's lapping at a bit of milk and yogurt on my fingers and explored a bit of the pen outside the whelping box today for the first time. I have the radio on close to him so noise doesnt frighten him but he's still easily frightened by things. I guess thats cause his life has been so quiet and steady so far with only me and Pagan in it. Well, Montana will make sure his life is full of ruckus soon I'm sure! LOL

He has a wonderful thick coat and his tail is nice and thick and, strangely enough, not looking as long as it did at birth!

[Roland]

There he goes to venture out into the great unknow of the livingroom! LOL It won't be long before he's fearless and gettin into all kinds of trouble. Remenber God makes puppys cute so that you don't kill them.

Awwww.  What I find hard to believe is that such  fat little blobs on stumpy legs with a huge heads turns into those elegant creatures in the show ring in 12 months time - I obviously have no imagination LOL  He is gorgeous Zefi!!

[Helen]

awww.. he's such a roly poly boy!  I wish I could smooch him!

Are you going to keep him?  Are you?  Are you?  <<jumping up and down>>

I bred this litter to keep a boy... so providing Bonnard turns out to be all I want from a stud dog, I'm keeping him. However I am torn. I have a wonderful home waiting for a black pup boy, or girl. A really wonderful home where I know he'll be loved and looked after. So I'm torn about keeping him or letting him go to be a much loved pet. It will all depend on how he grows up... I'm told by a friend that things will work out, that the decision will come on its own, things will be clear and I'll do the right thing whatever I decide. So for now I'm enjoying him and loving him and giving him the best start whether he's destined to be the most wonderful show dog or the most wonderful pet. No matter what I want to do whats best for him and all my dogs.
