TOBY IS SIX WEEKS OLD!!!

GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!
MAXMOM here...

Hello there everybody!
We went to visit my little fluffball this morning...
TOBY
is 6 weeks old now!!!
I can't believe how time has flown since 24th July - the day he was born.  He is emerging from his very small puppy stage to his small puppy stage and is going to be a beautiful adult Golden Retriever one day!

We only have two weeks to go before he comes home forever and I can't wait!

It was so wonderful to be able to spend some time with the pups.  Zena is so generous in allowing us visitation time.  It's been amazing to see him grow and he is quite a "FATTY" at the moment.  We were thinking that we should perhaps call him "Tubby" as opposed to Toby. (Don't worry, only joking!)
He is so, so beautiful!  I just adore cuddling him and love to watch him interact with his siblings. 
 He's still a laidback little thing but does assume control over the bed at night.  He doesn't mind being walked over though, but he is a confident, happy little puppy.
They all got their vaccinations this week and are all very well too.

I have taken so many pictures and will be sharing some of them with you during the week, but for the moment, here's ...

TOBY's SPECIAL SIX WEEK VIDEO:

With grateful thanks again to Zena and Alan at
RUFFITWOOD GOLDEN RETRIEVERS
for allowing me to visit Toby and to watch his transformation.
You have been extraodinarily generous with your time and your hospitality.
Get well soon, Zena!!!

Sending lotsaluv to everybody and I do hope that everyone has a happy weekend.
See you soon...

Just realized that Toby was born on my son David's birthday! Uhm, I think his middle name (if only in my head) should be David. Yes, his middle name is David.

He is going to be a spectacular Golden. Wish I could have one of those pups, too. How about you grab one for me, hop a plane to Michigan and deliver him or her in PURRson?☺ I'll put the water on now so it will be ready for some tea and cookies☺

I can see already that he is going to have a profuse coat with loads of fringe and curls. What a handsome little man he will be once fully grown.

Give him a little kiss from me - someone who l♥ves him on the other side of the world.

PeeEss: saw the necklace. You wear it well☺

Toby is just too cute. As mom was watching the video she glanced to the right and there was the painting of Max smiling right back at her. We think Max is happy about all of this too.

Just came by to see the little dude again. My gosh, if I had a fuzzy, pudgy guy like that in my house I'd be hugging and kissing him ALL the time. I don't think his paws would hit the ground!
