1st day at home
Finally got to take Yu You home today. We travelled down to Dumfries this morning to collect her, got a little lost but managed to avoid running over lambs and got there in the end. ALL DIRT TRACKS LOOK THE SAME!!
The breeder provided us with a puppy pack containing information about her microchip, vaccinations, Kennel Club registration and insurance. I didn't realise I'd have to pay £10 to the Kennel Club to transfer her ownership to me though! She also gave us a part of the bedding which had the smell of her mum and brothers, some food for her and a toy that also had scent.
Yu You was very well behaved on the way home and didn't cry at all. She napped a bit and looked about the car and listened to Tracy Chapman. Much better than I'd hoped! Lots of people had said she might cry and I wasn't looking forward to that!
When we got home, she had a little explore and yes, she has pee-ed and poo-ed on the carpet. Sigh. But it's her first day and she's only a baby still. I put her scented bedding into her cage and after having a nosy and trying to crawl under the sofas she decided she was fed up and went for a snooze. I had a snooze too!
There was a bit of excitement when the girls next door came to have a play but Yu You was still too tired and hadn't eaten much so I had to ask them to come back on Sunday. Hopefully they weren't insulted! But really Yu You had had enough after that and she had a bit of a wallow in depression on the sofa with me for a bit. Mooched around the cushions and looked sad at me. Ahhhh! No! Must be harsh and must not give in!
It's been a hard day for us both. I'm not used to having to make sure a small thing is ok all the time and she's not used to being here away from her family. We'll get used to it - no option now!
