Dad and I went to see the puppies today. We were greeted by a whole pack of mix-matched dogs - chihuahuas, pomeranians, weiner dogs, poodles, boxers, min-pins. And all of them just wanted to lick us and get petted by us. They are all seemingly well adjusted and happy. We went in the house and sat down and the seller brought us our puppies. One had just had her nails clipped and the other one needed hers clipped so the seller's daughter clipped her nails too. The puppies are more active, but not energetic yet. They are only about 4 weeks old and still sleep a lot. The long haired one rolled over on her back and licked me and dad and the short haired one licked me and actually made a noise or two. She was chilly and wanted to curl up.
The seller's adult daughter and the grandkids were there today and there was a lot of house cleaning going on. I think it's worth noting that the seller not only keeps the names of all her dogs straight (I haven't heard her call one by three different names before getting to the right one like most people do their kids) but she also knows their personalities. There was one chihuahua who came in from outside and got up on the couch with me, dad and the puppies. The seller came over to pick her up and said "watch, she's going to growl now." And the dog did. Growling isn't a bad thing in itself. It's just a way of communicating.
After about a half an hour, Dad said "give them back, we have to go." He said that two or three times. He really needs to just sit there and pet the sleeping puppies. But anyway, I gave them back and we left. I think he's going to have to come with me for the next few visits because the puppies are going to get even more active and I will have a hard time keeping a hold on both of them.
