Our princess will leave us Friday

“Tatum” the only daughter of Prada from her litter born December 4th 2020 is almost 8 weeks old and will leave us shortly. This time there will be many tears that Paul and I will cry when we say goodbye. This little Beardie girl has grown very dear to us. She spent 8 weeks with us, which was very intense. As an only child, we couldn’t possibly leave her alone in the large kindergarden with an outside area in the dog house. So she had her wheling box as a place to sleep and eat , and later there was more space created in front. She ran around the entire ground floor and a corner of the living room was her toilet …… Her meals she took in her whelping box. Mama Prada played patiently with her. Later aunt “Lilou” our young bobtail bitch joined her as a brilliant playmate. “Tatum” has been regularly for 15 minutes with all dogs (that’s 5 Bobtails plus Mama Prada) in outside and on the meadow in the last 10 days. She got to know the first snow. We laughed a lot at Tatum and there were endless funny moments. She slept on the sofa with us when we watched TV. Tatum is a very clever little beardie who knew exactly when we had prepared her food in the kitchen, then she was always sitting on our feet. While sweeping, the broom was attacked and the large stuffed octopus was regularly dragged through living rooms.

It will be very quiet when our princess is gone ……..

in these photos she is about 4 weeks old
