Sorry for the wait guys! Yeah, it was a long and exciting day for sure!
First we had to drive approximately five hours to reach the airport, so had to get up at sparra to get there in time to pick up the pup just after midday. I named him Drogo. It's odd because I always thought I was going to name him Yoshi but he didn't look like a Yoshi to me. The moment I saw him I instantly thought "he's a Drogo"!
It was actually funny because the reception people didn't believe he was a German Shepherd! They said he was the wrong colour. I told them his colour was a sable and that he was a working line German Shepherd and they shook their heads, asking me "you sure he ain't a cross"?
Oh yeah, I'm sure. He looks like a German Shepherd to me.
But that wasn't the end of the excitement! It looked as though Drogo either vomited or pooed on himself on the plane so hmm . . . We had to give him a bath and that was a bit of a problem as we were staying at a friend's place over night and they didn't have a big enough sink for him, so I had to have a shower with him.
Crickey, I have never showered with another animal before, except for frogs. Next day (or today, really) we had some horse business so we were in Perth right up to past midday, and then finally we were able to drive home. Got home at around 6 pm. Phew, absolutely exhausting.
Drogo was pretty good. Traveled well. He just either curled up and went to sleep or busied himself chewing on his toys. He's a very vocal boy, does a lot of moaning, and he's very mouthy! But wow, he is just beautiful. :wub: Has a lovely expression. He's a lot bigger than I thought he would be! I swear he was bigger than my White Swiss Shepherd at that age, funny because I thought German Shepherds were smaller than White Swiss Shepherds. Ack, he's probably going to be huge when he grows up! :crazy:
Anyway, sorry I don't have any photos at the moment. I will try and get some tomorrow!
