New arrival

I mentioned in a couple of previous posts that we were bringing home a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier pup soon. She's home with us today. This is Darby, and she's 9 weeks old.

Darby survived our 5 hour drive home just fine, and has been very quiet so far. I expected a wild out of control puppy, but thus far she's content to nose around a bit then relax on the floor. I think she's a bit unsure of her new surroundings.

We tried to feed her a couple of hours after we got here (food from the breeder that she was used to) and she poked at it a bit and ate a couple of pieces, but not much. Is that normal?

Here she is after 3 hours in her new home:

Most of the dogs I bring home only pick at their food for 3-6 days, then finally decide to start eating. Give her some time to adjust, she'll start eating soon enough.

She's cute! Good luck with her, Wheatons are nuts!

Wheaton puppies are just ADORABLE!

Not eating the first day isn't usually a big issue.. its if they aren't eating a couple days later that would worry me..

Ahh puppies.. I love puppy training hehe Its so much fun hehe


I expect LOTS of pictures now.. :>)

Well I just fed her about 1/3 cup of food for dinner and she finished every scrap, so I guess I can quit worrying about that.

Still waiting of a poop though. The vet is expecting a sample in the morning and all I'm getting is pee. If she doesn't produce a loaf soon I'll have to take a sample of my own in. :yikes:

Wheaton puppies are to die for. I think they are one of the cutest puppies on earth. Good luck with her
