When Wren Met Buddy

Posted on by Jackie B

It’s a couple of weeks since Wren, the fox-red Labrador puppy came to live with Daughter. She’s not quite ready to go out for walks yet as she hasn’t had all her vaccinations, but we decided it was time to properly introduce her to Buddy our big black Lab. He’s healthy and we were in Daughter’s garden, where no other dogs have been.

Buddy is pretty good-natured but doesn’t really like the way puppies jump up at his face. With lots of reassurance (and treats) he was really patient with little Wren. She certainly wasn’t intimidated by his size! She is tiny next to him

There was a lot of sniffing and tail wagging…

…but Wren took it all in her stride…

…and Buddy was a very good boy.

Then it was time for a walk. Daughter has been putting Wren in a backpack, worn at the front, to take her out and get her used to seeing traffic , people and other dogs.

After all that, Wren was worn out!

Welcome Wren!

Posted on by Jackie B

Today we welcomed a new family member, Wren. She’s a fox red Labrador puppy and belongs to Daughter, though I’m almost as excited as she is!

This has been on the cards for a while and when Daughter’s friends bred a litter from their Lab, Missy, the opportunity presented itself. Visiting them to see the puppies and meeting Wren sealed the deal!

She came home today. I drove while Daughter cradled Wren in her arms, then the two of them went into the garden. Wren had a good sniff around, then began responding to Daughter’s voice and following her.

Before long she was even retrieving her new toys, in between cuddles from her new owner. I think they have matching hair!

Are you my new Mum?

Wren seems to be a very happy, calm but confident pup. She was really interested in exploring her new surroundings and her little tail never stopped wagging.

She was very alert to loud noises but not at all frightened.

What was that?

So much to take in! Exhausting!

We brought her into the house where there were even more new smells to explore.

I think I’m going to like it here.

Then all of a sudden it was nap time.

Wren was already used to a crate before she came and to make her feel even more at home we rubbed her blanket over her mother and sister to absorb their scent. Here’s hoping that she continues to settle in well. If things carry on as they did today Wren is going to be just fine!
