    Hi Pippa and everyone,
    I am Istvan from Edinburgh, Scotland. This is our puppy Benji, he is 16 weeks old right now (12 weeks on the photo) We are a family of six, now seven.
    I am newbie, the whole family is, so I might ask silly questions if I don't find answers by reading other posts.
    I look forward to becoming an expert by the help of experienced members of this forum.

    Istvan

    Morning Istvan! Benji is a nice looking boy, have you any photos of him now? We'd love to see them if you have. The good thing about this forum is the positive attitude and kind words you can get from everyone. I wouldn't think any question was silly. Welcome :)

    Awwww, Benji!

    Welcome Istvan - I was a new puppy owner 4 months ago and this forum has been a life-saver! My boy Pongo is six months old now and has taken us through highs and lows..... he's such a lovely boy now.

    There are no silly questions (we've all asked them).... just post them up here, it doesn't matter if they've been answered already elsewhere.

    Also, we've all been through that 'OMG what have I DONE?' phase with a new puppy. Have you hit that one yet?

    Just use this forum to sound off and we'll answer anything we can (or just be shoulders to cry on) - and tell us all your successes and happy stories too....

    Looking forward to hearing all about Benji (aawwwww....)

    Rosie

    I don't have a lot of photos yet, but will try to keep remember myself to take many, as he is growing so fast, I have already missed opportunities to document his babyhood.
    Here is one I took a week ago, he was 16 weeks old, he has just turned 17 today.

    Welcome to the forum! You have a gorgeous puppy!

    Make sure you do take loads of photos. It's the one thing I regret - that I didn't get very many pictures of my Penny was she was really small. The photo-taking started when we could take her out and about and by that time she didn't look like much of a baby anymore!

    Thank you very much for all the welcoming comments.

    I try to keep that in mind Lauren. They do grow so fast, between 8 and 12 weeks old Benji seemed visibly larger every day.

    @Rosie, do you have pictures of Pongo posted somewhere in the forum?
