Just a week after Christmas, my dog Daisy had puppies. It was a great Christmas present. They are now nine weeks old and are full of energy. I’m going to take you through their lives so far. They were born in the kennels because we were in England and amazingly Daisy had them while me and my mam were on the plane. It was late when we got home from the airport so we were going to wait till the next day to pick her up, but we got a very exciting phone call that she had had her puppies. We rushed over to pick her up and my cuteness levels went into overload. We took her home and adored them for a while. But that wasn’t the end because Daisy had another puppy to have (we didn’t know that at the time). She was out of sorts so we brought her to the emergency vet. The vet helped daisy to get the 3rd puppy out, but sadly it was dead. So we went home with our two puppies and put them into their nice warm box and went to sleep. They didn’t open their eyes till they were about fifteen days old and Daisy was very protective over them. So when they opened their eyes it meant it was going to be a lot more work. They can get out of their box whenever they want now which means we have to do a lot more cleaning up after them, they can even get up the stairs now. We have found names for them. One puppy has a black face with a white body just like the cartoon dog Snoopy, so we thought why not call him Snoopy. And the other puppy has a brown face and white body which doesn’t really have anything to do with his name which is Patch. Daisy is a miniature Jack Russell and we think the father was a full sized Jack Russel. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post. By Diarmuid O’Dwyer
