In december me and my best friend Poppy, my Cavalier KC Spaniel were hit by a car and sadly she didn't make it. Life has been utterly lonely and a bit pants without her. I told her breeder about what happened and she said Poppy's mum Lily was going to have her third and last litter this year. She has been utterly amazing and offered us pick of the litter and has had to put up with me constantly emailing her asking 'are they here yet', for 6 little ruby pups to make an appearance a whole week early and the 23rd June!
We were allowed to go and visit them after a week but we weren't allowed to touch them or choose one in case some of them didn't make it. In our heads me and my boyfriend picked 'our' puppy and said we'd come back in 2 weeks to see them again. The one we fell in love with looked like a little teddy bear, and we chose her because she had no white markings so hopefully will look less like Poppy - but still very cute
So on saturday we went back and I took my mum along with us too. Amazingly, she went up to the puppy pen and picked up a puppy and was like 'I want this one!' and that was the puppy we had 'chosen' at a week old. She is the smallest of the litter, a ruby girl with no white markings! We spent lots of time cuddling her and watching her start to wobble about a bit and learn to lap up milk. We are going again next week when she will be just 5 weeks old to see her again. We have named her Rosa, as her mum is Lily and she is half sister to Poppy so we wanted to keep the flower theme going to remember Pops. It's going to be hard adjusting to the fact she's not Poppy and she's a new little friend but we can't wait to get her home now, its so hard waiting!
The breeder is absolutely amazing and has put off everyone else seeing them until we had picked, which she didn't have to do but did. All of the others have homes lined up, otherwise I probably would have tried to buy them all
Now for the photos!
This was Poppy, the worlds most awesome ginger dog
And everyone, meet Rosa! This is her at 1 week old, then the rest are from saturday
She's the tiny little tail, third from the left
And I found this photo of Poppy at 4 weeks old (right) so I put them together, Rosa at 3 weeks on the left!
I will be sure to post more photos next week, we cannot wait to see her again!
