I am busy overdosing on puppy breath

Awwww, what a cutie!!!

He's one lucky pup, and one handsome one too!

German Shepherds are by far my favourite dog. I just love everything about them. I noticed his ears aren't standing up yet. I remember how comical my Liebe looked when her ears started standing up. One day, one ear would be up, and the other would be down, the next day it was reversed, and some days the ears would be partially up making her look like the Flying Nun. Your little guys is just adorable.

He is truly adorable, I am so happy for all 3 of you

Thanks guys, we had quite the scare yesterday. I put him in the holding pen outside when I work with the horses, because he is so clumsy and young. I was out opening the pasture gate with the two horses behind me, when all of a sudden I heard Vader (we changed his name) screaming! I whirled around only to discover him under Trav's hoof! Trav startled, and stepped away and stepped on Vader's belly and vader quit squealing. I moved Trav quickly off the puppy picked Vader up and rushed to the vet. They x-rayed his hips, back leg and stomach and found no visible signs of trauma. No hairline fracture, no rupture. All the way to the vet Vader had his front paws wrapped around my arm and wouldn't let go.

The vet said we were damn lucky and that two things played in our favor, the soft ground and the fact that my horses go barefoot. Vader seems fine today, we have been watching him like a hawk and we found out that he moved the fence with his teeth until he bent it enough to get out, then ran running out to see his "mom." I feel so guilty about him getting hurt, and we have since staked down the fencing all the way around to prevent future incidences like this from happening. I was so scared for him- and I am monitoring him closely to see if he is really okay- He could use your good thoughts-

After yesterday and his courage we decided Vader is a better name for this fiesty puppy-
Here he is meeting Prowler up close and purrsonal-

OMG! How scary! I'm so glad little Vader is OK, but I'm still sending healthy vibes his way.

Prowler doesn't look all too sure about that big clumsy cat that joined the household...

Oh thank heavens he's okay, I'm already in love with his sweet face. Sending be well vibes his way.

MA it's one of those things, but i know that i would be feeling the same way The main thing is he's been checked over and he's ok

That rain comes in handy after all huh?!

Love his new name as well! he looks so innocent in that picture with Prowler What was Prowler like being up close like that?

Oh I know you had to have been just terrified. I'm so glad he wasn't hurt by it. Yeah, I know from experience German Shepherd puppies can be a real hand full, but they are such wonderful and beautiful animals.

I'll bet he will be a little bit more careful around the horses from now on.

She antagonizes him. She is such a flirt! We had him on a lead in the house for awhile so the cats could come in and out of the enclosure, and when she found out he was tethered up, she would prance over to him, stop just within his reach of her, and swat him on the nose! LOL He was not a happy camper. But he is highly intelligent and all I have to say is NO and he stops what he is doing at the time, which is usually running after the cats (in play though, not as a form of attack). They are getting used to each other, but understandably the cats are upset. They all miss Kenai, and they can't figure out who this new member of the house is-

Prowler certainly sounds like Sophie. I call her "No Fear" the way she pushes Rosie to her limits

Oh, Miss Prowler!! What a brat! And what a scare! Glad that little Mister Vader is OK.

he's precious!!! Arent puppies just the cutest???

How scary!

Congratulations on your handsome new boy. He's precious. I like his new name and I'm so happy he is unhurt.

Wow! That'd have scared me to death! So glad that Vader is okay though!

Vader looks like a real CUTE DARLING!!

Oh lovely.. I love german shephards. I want a dog but can't. I don't think Moss would like it either!! Congratulations, how lovely. Bless him in the sleeping picture!!
