My wife and I were captivated by ferrets, and they are so inquisitive, engaging and fun that we fell in love with each and every one of them. Unfortunately, it's a rare ferret that can survive 8 years and it's painful to let them go. We used to share their charms with the local kids, and when they came around on Halloween, the local kids didn't holler "trick or treat" - they hollered "where's the ferrets?!!" We'd snag a couple of ferrets and let them visit with the kids, and we'd put some candy in the kids' bags, but that didn't matter to them. Years later, when one of the "kids" married the daughter of a friend, he told me that other kids in town wanted to trick or treat with him because he knew the "ferret people" in the big house at the end of the street.

We decided a few months back to get another Dobe. We reserved one with a breeder and the pups were born coincidentally on 15/03/08, exactly 1 year after our Emma died. Heres a couple of pics of 1 day old Doberpups.





The puppies mother had a C-section after one became stuck. Unfotunately it died but the 10 other pups survived and the mother and pups are doing well so far.

Congrats! Those pups look so shiny!

Wow, 11 pups is a huge litter. Good luck to the remaining 10!

AWWW so cute! Wow, they really are shiny aren't they?

Kurdt

Our first dog Emma was one of 11 pups as well, and the ***** that just gave birth had 11 pups last time as well.

EDIT: B itch is censored I've never been censored as far I know.

Awww, so shiny and cute!!!

I don't know how I missed the original thread. Emma was adorable.

It's an automated censor, so it doesn't really have a clue about context. I remember that when I first posted a question about my Mat****a hard-drive it pinged out the middle of the word.

Like that.

Math Is Hard

Are you getting a little girl puppy or a little boy puppy?

VashtiMaiden

condolence, my dear. My Dog also died last week, she's 8 years old. She's the best pet I'd ever had, so i know how you feel.

Kurdt

It will be a girl pup.

The photos are so precious, to bad they don't come with that new puppy smell. They look great.

Kurdt

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your dog Vashti

Cute puppies! Congrats on the new dog, Kurdt.

During my last year of my undergrad program, I lived with a couple who had a Dobe, named Pearl. She and I got along great. She'd come over to the desk where I was studying and put her head in my lap, or she'd mouth my arm until I petted her. I used to wrestle with her whereby she'd jump at me and I'd sidestep or deflect her with my hands. She was a sweetie!

8 weeks 'til D-day! Congratulations - they all look sweet, so it won't be easy to pick unless one of them really starts bonding with you when you visit.

Evo

I believe Kurdt's puppy is pre-assigned.

I want to rub the puppy's tummy! Nothing smells sweeter than puppy tummies.

Kurdt

We're fourth in the queue for a girl and there are only 4 girls so we won't have a choice.

Lisa!

Sorry about your loss!
Congrats on your new puppies!
