The Arrival of Ziggy June 10, 2011

Ziggy’s arrival day was eventful.  We made the 1 ¼ journey out to Alfreton and back from Leek.  Poor Ziggy didn’t enjoy the journey.  He also smelled of dog pee – not surprising considering he’s been living in a shed with sawdust all over the floor.

Ziggy and Sibling in the shed

Taken away from his siblings, thrown into a car, a 1 ¼ hours of nausea and then placed on a strange tiled floor did not really agree with him.  He looked so small and terrified.  I decided to bath him and get the trauma over and done with.

He sat trembling in the kitchen sink.  I rinsed him and lathered and he still sat there trembling.  The water was soapy so I emptied the sink.  He still sat there.  I filled the sink with fresh water and that was it – the little pup was putting up with no more, covered in soap he legged it across my kitchen worktop, cups and plates flying as he went.
