I got a puppy! I got a puppy for Xmas!!!!

I got a puppy for Xmas!!! He’s so cute!!!

My boyfriend got him for me from a friend of his. He’s a little Chinese Crested, you know, the dogs without hair except for a mohawk? He is sooo sweet and cute! He has these beautiful big brown eyes and a short spiky mohawk on his head and his ears are so long! He is so tiny and has a strange quirk of walking around with his tongue sticking out. I named him Gizmo, because he looks like the Gizmo from Gremlins!

Unfortunately, I can’t bring him home yet as he’s only about 21 days old, but damn he’s a sweet little thing! Born on the 5th of December, just in time for Xmas! I can’t wait until I can bring him home!

Thanks for listening to me gush!:slight_smile:

loans you his cookbook turned to the stuffed puppy page

I prefer them broiled, thank you…

HEY!!!

Hoooray for puppies! Wishing you many years of pleasure with him.

Congrats. My dog is also named Gizmo, but he’s a Norwegian Elkhound.

Hastur, you just ain’t right.

Congratulations, Captain Blunty! Oh I love puppies… It was just a little over four years ago that I brought my short and furry ObnoxioDog home.

What a cool gift…just make sure to get that pup into obedience classes right away. They not only teach you basic obedience but help to socialize the puppy which is VERY important. :slight_smile:

I know how hard it, but you have to teach that dog to listen to you when he’s young- otherwise, you will end up with a spoiled little dog who thinks he’s royalty.

ooooohhhhh, a cute little puppy!

do you have to put lotion on the pup due to the hairless thing?

Thanks for the links astro!

I plan to tke him to “puppy school” after he has his shots… it will be hard to train him, he has such a sweet and cheeky personality, but I know it has to be done or else I’'ll be picking up puppy poop with a pair of gutted Gucci stilletos!

And yes, it is a good idea to put special skin cream (for dogs) on his skin, and wash with an extra gentle shampoo… more like a doggy cleanser. And he has to wear sunscreen when he plays in the sun!
