We're pleased to report that Megan slept like a baby last night, just woke twice, took her out for a wee and so avoided any puddles Very Happy

Note to self - remember the torch when taking a black pup out on a dark night Rolling Eyes

Steve has taken Ky on an extra long walk today as Ky was a bit grumpy this morning when he realised Megan was still here!

Shame on Mrs.Zeb,of course your own baby is the prettiest Exclamation

Hi Shaorn

Glad the first night went well. Although they are such stroppy little sods at times, Welshies often surprise you by being totally amenable and perfectly behaved. Rolling Eyes I'm sure they do it just to confuse us!

We obviously have the same trouble as you with our invisible dog, so we got one of these from Halfords I think. Smaller than a 50p piece as you see, so it wouldn't trouble Megan even while she is tiny.

It flashes a sequence of 3 or 4 colours and is amazingly bright. Gracie didn't turn a hair when we put it on her collar for the first time, and we still use it when taking her for a walk in the dark - just so cars can see her in the narrow lane where we walk. It does the job perfectly.



Regards

Thanks Anne and Dave for your suggestions.

I've tried Halfords for a clip on flasher and they didn't have any,I thought about a flashing collar that I saw in pets at home but it was a bit bulky for her little neck.

I found something similar to Dave's idea, next problem is getting her to walk with a collar on Rolling Eyes

Ky is gradually coming out of his sulk and very nearly started playing with Megan this afternoon.Give him a couple of days and he'll love her as much as we do Smile

Glad you had a good night, I was pretty sure that you would do...............I woke up at 4am and couldn't sleep, made a drink let my pair out and when they came in both galloped upstairs, our bedroom door was closed so I ended up letting the pair of them go on the spare bed and I got in between them (Hubby was snoring in our room) there is something very soothing about Welshies and after fussing both of them for a little while found I dropped back of to sleep easily.

Hi again Sharon

Quite by chance I still have the packaging if you would like a photo of it. We are very impressed with the little flashing gadget, which can be seen over half a mile away according to the blurb on the pack.

Let me know if you would like a photo, though the alternative you found might be just as good.

Regards

Ah! Megan is a darling, I'm sure it won't be long before she & Ky will be best buddies.
Glad you managed to get some sleep.

Where's today's bulletin on little Megan then Steve and Sharon, or are you too busy playing with her? Confused

It was only last November we got Gracie, so the memories are still vivid.

Great innit!! Laughing Laughing Laughing

Hi Dave,

Aren't we a forum of dog lovers,I didn't realise the interest there would be in a new pup when I first posted yesterday.For those that are non-dog people please ignore this thread as it has little to do with motorhoming,although there has been references to travelling with a young pup in a m/home,so a slight relevance to a minority of dog lovers I suppose.

As I have been asked specifically about Megan and to post photos etc..I make no apologies for continuing this thread,so if you are a non dog person please look away now.

I didn't realise that daffodils are a staple diet of a Welsh Terrier Rolling Eyes ,every time she has been out in the garden today I have had to remove them from her mouth.

I have been walking round like Douglas Bader most of the day with a pup attatched to my trousers,it's a strange stiff-legged gait that I have perfected to drag the daft dog around.

Megan attempted her first bark this evening when she heard a noise in the garden when it was dark,being a tiny 8 week old pup it wasn't very intimidating,sounding more like a small sneeze,certainly not loud enough to deter any burglars,but give her time she's only young Smile

As you may have gathered she has settled in extremely well,I can't believe we have had her less than 2 days-she is so outgoing and confident.

The downside is that our other dog Ky is still sulking.He actually stole all her cuddly toys and chewy things and stored them on our bed while she was asleep knowing she couldn't reach them.He didn't want to play with them,but didn't want Megan to play with them either.

But things are looking up,this evening they are both asleep laid on the floor and almost touching each other so I am optimistic about them.

Steve
