So Max is finally here, we ( my friend’s husband took me to collect him, ) and he’s gradually settling in, he’s very happy with his crate, in fact he’s not wanted to leave it all day, I’ve been playing with him for short intervals, he’s not keen on being picked up but settles ok when I do. How do I put a picture on here ?

Brilliant!   can't wait to see him, to post a picture when you post click on the "Attachments and other options" then choose file......find your photo on your computer and click on the photo and it will be added to the attachment box  then click post and fingers crossed we will all see him!. He will probably get tired quickly until he's fully settled in and then you will know it when he shows you who's the boss lol  have fun and congratulations on you bundle of furry fun  :hug:

First night went well I think, he’s very good at using the pads to wee and poop in, it was chucking it down with rain last night so we didn’t get outside to do wees and poop he’s still not keen on being picked up and although I brought him out of the crate earlier and settled him on the sofa, I don’t want to push him too much,. He does lick and chew my hands when I fuss him, time and patience I think. I’ve tried uploading photos but it doesn’t accept them, to large

We went to the vet yesterday for Max’s first jabs and he was as good as gold, the vet was very happy with his general state of health and he’s due back in two weeks for the second lot of jabs. He got a lot of attention and why not he’s so cute!! When we got back he seemed to come out of his shell even. more, coming to me and playing, he loves my dressing gown cord 😂 and resisting less when I picked him up 😂 we had his snuffle mat out and his flip board, ( levers and hides holes with treats 😂)
Vet also very happy with what I’m feeding him (Wainwright’s large breed puppy food and Lily’s kitchen wet food. We’ve had snuggles on the sofa this morning and he slept for the most part of the night next to the sofa on the floor xxx I think he’s starting to settle at last! ❤️❤️🐾🐾🐶😍

Aww sounds like going OK  :cheesy:
For the photo, you may need to compress it or reduce the size.  If you have something like photoshoot it's quite easy in there. Might be worth Googling 'how to reduce size of photo' and you may find one to match programmes you have xx
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. 
Hold on in there xx

glad he is settling in - he sounds like a treasure - for image try a web site called resizeimage.net -they talk you though the process and you can change the image type as well so you can resize or crop then once you have re-sized  the physical image its self, the last option (6) will let you change the file formatt  try saving as a png - - depending on the size of an original jpeg it can compress the file without loss of quality.The file size limit to attach here is 1000kb - so once you have got down too that file size it should be fine.

Were having a few issues at the moment, namely max clearly not liking me picking him up and he’s fighting me when I try to put his collar on, I’m getting help with him from a local dog traiiner, hopefully he’s going to get back to me soon. I’m worried that if I can’t control him now then he’ll be impossible later when he’s bigger and stronger . Sorry to ramble on about this when people have far worse problems dealing with their grief on here xx

I’ve actually got a guy coming tomorrow to start a training programme, I’m worried that these teething problems if not addressed could lead to bigger problems later on. I know he’s only been with me a few days but I want to do the best I can for him, I’m sure as you say he’ll settle down eventually but I think it will give me more confidence initially to have some one on one training that we can start now rather than wait for him to have all his jabs and me not to be able to manage him another three or four weeks down the line. I feel I need the training more than him!! He’s eight weeks old at the moment. I know with German shepherd dogs you need to start the training early, he’ll get plenty of socialisation as well especially after his jabs, I’m going to take him out in Harry’s old buggy later this week and we’ll do a bit then. Without a car I’m limited to getting to places for puppy classes, there is one but they’re in mid cycle and they’re not doing anything more until after Christmas, well I don’t want to wait that long. He can go to puppy day care one day a week once he’s had his jabs , that will help him socialise as well.

I’ve found a couple of places that do puppy classes, one looks good and it’s near me, he’s coming on a treat, especially since I’ve relaxed more and just enjoying him while he’s getting settled, he’s following me round now and settling better at night xxx
