Now that would be a terrible nightmare -- to have adorable little creatures suddenly attack you!

I've never raised a litter, just one at a time, but still say that they are adorable!

Do you raise puppies or Nazgul?

To be fair, they are pretty cute and harmless up until about four or five weeks. They have teeth like needles at that age though, and it's not really the eyes they go for. It tends to be a concerted attack on your shoes, and when you eventually fall it's the lips, ears and that little bit of webbing between your thumb and index finger.

I've looked after four litters of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, two of Labrador Retrievers and, most recently, Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Something like 56 puppies in total. The Staffs were probably the most aggressive, but then I did keep one of them and so get reminded of the pain each and every day.

my dad used to breed great danes .. and we kids would have to walk them each night after school!

even as pups these babies packed some punch! .. I remember walking one of the bitches near a tennis court and parklands .. when all of a sudden it court wind of a cat!! and off she went .. with me literally up-ended bitumen and turf-surfing behind her!! .. still attached to the lead!!

she must have dragged me about 400m .. before the lead ripped my arms off leaving me face down in the dirt!!

that was the last time I wrapped that lead around my wrist for greater control .. I tell you!!!

Toes are more dextrous than you'd think.

So does the puppy have a name yet?

Post by **Worm of Despite** » Sat May 03, 2003 9:39 pm

Yeah, for real! And if you don't name him, I'm gonna . . . *Looks at the walls* I’m gonna . . .shucks, can't do anything. *Curses the walls around him*

My husband suggested Nigel.
We've just named our adorable little white kitten Felony.

Post by **Worm of Despite** » Sun May 04, 2003 12:13 am

Felony? My uncle has one of those!!

In fact, next time they catch him, he's going away for five years!

Post by **birdandbear** » Sun May 04, 2003 12:26 am

Ooooo, uh oh!

Actually I was just making up names...thinking along the lines of Elven names....Went from Tinnuvial, to Melian, to Feanor, to Felony. At first I just thought it was pretty, then I realized the dual entendre....

I'm reminded of the book "My family and other animals" where they had two puppies called Widdle and Puke....

Imagine walking around the neighbourhood or park calling "Here Widdle, here Widdle come to mummy" or " Puke! Where are you Puke?!"
The men in white coats would come and take you away.

And Lord Skyweir, about your being the 'good cop', I would not have thought any differently.

So what DID FMI name that puppy anyway??

Post by **Worm of Despite** » Mon May 05, 2003 1:03 am

*curls up fist* If he's smart, he'll name it Corruption!

Or a-Jaroth of the Seven Hells!! Or at least Corey Feldman.

Let's just pray for the intelligence of FMI, shall we?
