Look Mom, No Basket!

Vet Visit  Recap:
  1st vet visit= all 8 puppies in 1 basket
 2nd vet visit= 4 puppies in 2 baskets
 3rd vet visit= no basket big enough...back cargo area of the Honda should hold 4 puppies /2 trips

Good News: 

       All puppies are in excellent health.

                  They loved the ride!

Note to Self:      
Cargo area in Honda will not confine 1 puppy let alone 4 puppies
Jumping from window to window, seat to seat makes puppies very happy!
4 puppies jumping around inside the Honda makes one laugh out loud...
-- it got even crazier the 2nd trip!

We are being good-honest!

Check up and Charts

It took two baskets, two kids, and a driver to deliver the 8 puppies on a cold snowy day for their first official check-up: a  regular examination, shots, de-worming and weigh-in. We arrived at the veterinary office with all eight puppies curious about their surroundings. The last time they had been here, their eyes and ears were still in newborn stage and they all 8 fit in one basket. Weigh in was in the range of 4.2 (Yellow)  to 5.9 (Cream) pounds. Without much excitement, and no tears from the Girl this time, we made it home before the real winter storm started. 

A special thanks to the very caring and informative staff!

Out We Go...

Although it wasn't a trip that many want to remember- it was still the first outside trip. All eight pups, Sgian, her Boy and Girl and I went to the vet's office. It was time to have the dewclaws removed. We were welcomed back to the procedure room and helped with comforting the puppies, Sgian and the Girl as we experienced the removal of 16 dewclaws. I think it was hardest on the Girl.
Sgian and the puppies were pronounced healthy and Sgian was given the Good Mommy Award. The Girl was given a Kleenex.
