Babysitting A Newborn

This little black and white blur is a little Shih Tzu pup that we are babysitting for two weeks. The owners, of the kennel where I work, bought him and had him flown in from the breeders in Idaho. He's eight weeks old. They want to quarantine him, in a way, to make sure that he doesn't have any puppy illnesses that he could pass on to the rest of the puppies at the kennel. So, we are going to watch him for those two weeks and keep and eye on him. He's up to date on all his puppy inoculations, but they just want to play it safe. We will miss him when he has to go back. He's a little cutie. I'm sure he has a fancy AKC type name since he's a registered pure bred. But, we've taken to calling him "Squirt". And, he will answer to that name.
