I'm sorry everyone, I've been very slow on updating my blog but I've been so busy! I promised to tell you all about my first meeting with my big brothers. When I got home on Monday I met Stanley first and then I met Mac. Mac is a border collie cross rough collie and he is a rescue dog. He is about 7 years old and he does agility. He's not very impressed with me, especially when I try and get him to play, but Mummy says that when I'm bigger he'll know what to do!

Next I met Mungo. Mungo is an English Springer Spaniel and he is 14 years old, but don't tell him that! He thinks he's not much older than me! I love Mungo as he's taught me lots of things and has let me snuggle with him. This has suprised my family as Mungo doesn't usually pay puppies any attention! That makes me feel very special!

Next I met Raif. Raif is a Border Collie and he is 6 years old. He is scared of me!

He's the puppy and he doesn't know what to do with this new puppy who wants to play! He is very good with me though and we have had a game of tuggy! I think he's scared of hurting me!

I met Archie last. He's the Boss. Archie is a Cairn terrier and he is 8 years old. Apparently he was very possesive of Raif when he was a puppy but he isn't of me. He likes me though and we have had a good time. I like to sleep near his crate.

I like my food and I want to be a big boy like the others. I can't have biscuits like them yet but I want them! I've been told I'm very clever as I've only had two accidents in the daytime and I was completely dry all last night. I have also learnt to come and to sit. I'm getting the hang of it now! Anyways got to go lots of things to chew and explore!

I have come home to Suffolk! I left home this morning, said goodbye to my brother and sister, who both have to wait a little longer before their new families come and get them,

kissed my Mummy goodbye,

and got in the car for the long trip to Suffolk. I met my new friend Ulysses but even he couldn't make me feel better and I was horribly car sick eight times on the way home.

My new Mummy comforted me and told me to take a nap but I was determined to see where I was going and so I only dozed occasionally. My new family have decided that I will fit right in with their other dogs because despite feeling sick I was immediately awake at any rustle of food wrappers! When we got to Suffolk I met my new Daddy and all my new brothers.

First I met Stanley. He's a cat and wasn't impressed with me. He was very rude! He couldn't believe that the humans had brought another dog home and not a cat. He said the numbers were very uneven!

My big brothers were great and I really love them very much and have already learnt so much from them, like what 'come' means and that I must go to the toilet in the garden like the big boys. I think I'm going to like it here.

I'll tell you about my meetings with my new big brothers

Mac

Mungo

Raif

and Archie tomorrow,

but I'm very tired now as I've had such a big day.

A week today I go home to Suffolk! I know my family can't wait and were frustrated with last weeks pictures when they couldn't spot me, but hey I'm far too busy to pose for any pictures! Besides which, we'd all just had our hair brushed and our nails clipped. Think I'm gonna pose nicely when I've just had to suffer that indignity? Anyways see if you can spot me!

We are five weeks old in these pictures and into everything which is why we have had to be curtailed in the box! Here we are with a bit more freedom but once again I'm not going to pose as I have more important things to do like playing, eating, sleeping and exploring!

We are four weeks old today and this week some of our new families have been to visit. Six of us are going to families which live too far away to visit so Sam, our Mummy's owner, has taken some up to date pictures so our new families don't miss out on the excitement!

These good looking chaps are my brothers Dexter and Buddy

And here are my beautiful sisters Dolly, Taylor and Molly.

But my new family think that I am the most handsome of the lot, but that goes with out saying!

We have all been given a toy each which we will take with us to our new homes. My family wonder why I've been given the only indestructible one?!?!

We all now have names! The three boys including myself, are Aubrey (no1 puppy), Buddy (no2 puppy) and Dexter (no3 puppy), whilst my sisters are Bella (no4 puppy), Dolly (no5 puppy), Daisy (no6 puppy), Taylor (no7 puppy) and Molly (no 8 puppy).

We have grown loads, even since our last pictures, and we are turning into cheeky little so and sos!! We have our eyes open and we are attempting to walk about, but we're a bit wobbly still!

These pictures were taken on the 16th June so we were 18 days old or two weeks and 4 days!

I have two brothers and five sisters and even at this early stage some of us have been named by our new families.

Here is me, Aubrey,

and my brother Dexter

and my sisters Taylor

and Dolly.

Here are my as yet un-named siblings, my brother, and my three other sisters.

We have all grown loads since our first pictures were taken and are now 12 days old. We had new pictures taken when we turned 10 days old.

Here are the boys, I'm on the left and Dexter is on the right with puppy number 2 in the middle.

And here are two of my sisters, puppy numbers 4 and 6

And here is Taylor in the middle, with Dolly on the left and puppy number 8 on the right.

My name is Aubrey.

My Mummy is a beautiful Golden Retriever called Tilly and my Daddy is a lovely apricot Standard Poodle called Cracker.












I was born on the evening of the 29th May 2009. I have 2 brothers and 5 sisters and we are all various shades of blonde! We are very lucky as we all have lovely homes to go to.


The pictures of us with our Mummy show us at 1 day old, whilst we are 3 days old in the left hand picture. We are very tiny at the moment but we will mature to be 22" to 25". I am already bigger and more advanced than the others and at 6 days old I am beginning to lift my head! My new owners think that I am the puppy at the front of the picture on the left, due to the white spot on my head!
