Jacob comes home...

Jacob is just as sweet as I knew he would be. At the moment, he is asleep by the side of his puppy cage, depsite the fact he should be in the cage. He is so tiny and cute, and quite naughty as well, like any good flatcoated retriver. We found out today that his grandfather was called Jacob, which is nice.
When we got to the house, we went round the back of the breeders house, and as they greeted us, we spyed the puppies. 6 left, 1 ours, and one staying with them. When we told them we were picking up Blue Puppy (Jacob), they picked him up, and gave him to meing e. He was a little bigger than when we went to visit them, but still smaller than the others. Not by much, and Dad seems to have fallen in love with him like any other sized puppy...
We were at the house for a while, sorting out paper work and stuff. He needs to be wormed and have his second injections at 10 weeks, and can start going for short walks at 12 weeks. The worst news? I have to get up at 6 in the morning! He needs letting out and then feeding at 7am.
Jacob had his blue collar taken off him, and we were given a toy for him from his Dads owners, and a box full of pedigree puppy kibble. He ran around for a while, burying stuff and being generally loopy.
When we got in the car though, things got difficult. He howled for 20 minutes, even tiping his head back to let us really hear how loud he could be. He succeded. He is the loudest puppy I have ever met. And that includes his brothers and sisters! But he settled down after we stopped at a service station and let him wiggle for a bit. He was then asleep for the rest of the journey, occasionally barking or whimpering. But mostly he was ok.
Thats Jacobs car journey, but how was he when he got home...?
Good actually. A bit scared of everything, but thats natural. We gave him food and water, and showed him his cage. He liked his food bowl, but I dont think he is used to not having to share his bowl with 9 siblings. He kept taking the bowl away. And storing the kibble in his mouth. Very odd. I think he was storing it. Well thats puppies for you...
At the moment he is running around outside with Al and Milly after his 3 minute beauty sleep. He has had another wee, and the theory that flatcoats have huge bladders is now proven true. Right nowI need to feed him again. Murray comes home tomorrow, so that should be fun...
