Well unfortunately we couldn't keep Ben and Summer. We gave them away to a family who had always wanted a Pug dog but couldn't afford to buy one.
There were a number of dog fights between Summer and one of our other dogs. It just depended on who she didn't like at the moment.
Summer became pregnant by Ben two weeks after we brought them home. She delivered 4 puppies on April 16. One was born stillborn.
Even though I had taken Ben and Summer to the vet, the vet found that Summer was infested with bugs. This was when we took the puppies for their six week check up. Summer had developed a sore on her ear. She thinks she had them before she came to us. We had Summer five months before she discovered this. The bugs were passed onto the puppies.
We decided to keep the puppies. At the moment the puppies are getting along with the adult dogs. We first introduced the puppies to one of the adult dogs. Making sure we had control of the adult dog and bringing them in one at a time, in case there was a problem. The adult dogs looked terrified of the puppies. We had brought them into the kitchen. A week later I decided it would be better to introduce them in the backyard. That way it was the puppies going into the adult dogs territory. It was much better, there was so much more room for the adult dogs to get away from the puppies. The puppies really enjoy roaming around the backyard. There is so much to explore!
