Welcome Little Nugget

 She may be small but she sure has personality plus. Welcome to our extended pack little Miss Nugget.

This 6 year old, is 10 lbs of the sweetest little golden nugget by far. She definitely suits her name. Nugget is a 'people dog' and not at all interested in becoming somebody's best zoom buddy.
At her Meet 'n Greet Nugget was calm, very polite and respectful of Lady May. It happened that our energetic Sir Henry was visiting that day.
He's big and he's loud and he's so full of "I NEED to meet you." They met in the living-room while I held Henry at a distance from Nugget, and mom kept Nugget on lead.
Nugget's reply was "Please hold him tight. I'm nervous!"  No worries little girl. This is not the day you will officially meet Sir Henry.  Henry had a sore paw and all play was restricted. Another day for that.

Outside Nugget immediately found a ball, but of course it was not a very good size for her little mouth. That didn't stop her, she went right into fetch mode.  Even though it was a bit of a struggle for her, she was determined to play ball.  I brought out the 'small dog toy bin and she sifted through several toys right away.

Her favourite toy that day turned out to be the little stuffie that our Countess River likes to play with. It's an older little squeakie, stuffie chicken leg. 

Nugget - "Hey! Something sure smells good in here"

It's one of the toys that hasn't yet been ripped and chewed. For some reason this little toy has made it through many play days and remained in tact. Good choice little Nugget. Let's play!

Nugget offers a polite invitation to play. Lady May chooses to decline.

Nugget is still working on her recall skills, so when she visits without her mom she'll be on a long safety lead. I have been told she's not very fond of a lead so we'll be practising some leash skills. Mom has some days already planned to have this little Nugget stay with us and her safety is of the upmost concern for me.
Now to find a day we can have a 4 hour visit. . .
Welcome to our home little Nugget. We'll be seeing you soon.
