Would you check my English?
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
M: I've got good news! My dog has just given birth to [has just had]
four puppies.
F: Are they all brown like their mother?
M: No, just one of them is brown. The others are while like their father.
No. 2
M: I've been looking for my math textbook, but I don't know where it is.
Have you seen it around here?
F: Yes. It's on the bookshelf over there, the second shelf from the
bottom, on the far right.
Thank you!

" You can also say "just one is brown" and omit "of them" but it's not wrong to include it. Otherwise, good job as usual.

Whoops - I totally missed the white/while.
When they are first born, their cute-level is a bit low, but give them three weeks. There is no such thing as a non-cute kitten or puppy.
Yes, I get all silly over puppies and kittens. The same cannot be said for human babies, despite have spawned a couple myself. (I get wobbly over my own though; don't worry, I'm not an unnatural mothe

I read your comments several times, and now I got it.
English is still difficult for me, but I'll keep on studying. Thank you!

Sometimes I just lose my bearings - and have to have them replaced - or at least re-lubricated.
Sorry, kenta. Just ignore me and I'll go away.
