Hallie and the Rest

Here is the vet visit gallery of the 16.

I had high hopes of doing individual photos of everyone but reality set in. I had dogs change days of departures - a late vet and well 16 pups take a long time. I didn't even get videos so it is what it is.

All pups were great. We hope tomorrow no soreness and here's to baths on Friday and visits on Saturday then the craziness begins of way too much to do. 

Hope  you are excited about Saturday and Sunday. 

Hallie Pups

Hallie Pups Individuals

So today I dewormed everyone and this time we have loose stools - which is very common. 1st time no issues. This will resolve itself but this is why we deworm vs you having to when the pups go home with you. Not fair for you to be cleaning up, making sure they get enough water and you having to worry. We will deworm each puppy 2 days before it goes home. If it has a reaction such as loose stools, it will be resolved within 2 days. Why did this occur this time? Well you are putting toxins in their bodies and the 1st time they had no clue what was going on so this time they did. Stress contributes to this but as I said, it does clean out their system when needed but I can assure you that our dogs do not have worms. We do the adults when we do the pups as a PREVENTATIVE as vets will insist you do it. If it is already done, you do not need to. 

Tomorrow I will let you know how they are doing. They are still playing and still active. That tells me this is a mild reaction. 

But I should have waited till after the vaccines as they can also contribute to a reaction. None of this is serious. 

Tomorrow they will have a full day. Tonight I print out photos so we can have the vet check them in order of moms.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Soon

Gallery can be found on Willow's blog.

Tomorrow they will have another deworming. On Tuesday they will have the vet visit and on Friday baths and on Saturday and Sunday they will have human visits. Busy week but fun.

They relish the play sessions and can you blame them? Going to be fun!

Safe Really?

Here is the gallery.

I told you not too long ago that the moms get up on the beds that are up high to be safe from pups trying to feed. I also told you that eventually that wouldn't work. As you can see in this photo that day has already arrived. 

They climb. They jump and moms are almost not feeding them now. I say 99% of the time. That is good as they are at that age.

In a few days they will get their vaccinations and microchips. As we are using our local vet as our breeder vet is in Florida now, I am not sure if we can do photos but I am hoping so. I am also hoping its dry outside so we can do it outside. We shall see. Stay tuned. 

After that they will get a visit from you and that craziness of getting everything ready begins for me.

What is That?

Check out the 2 deck galleries in Willow and Nami's blog. One has the morning session and the other the afternoon session. 

Now the sky is black so rain is coming. As soon as I am done blogging - hopefully I have enough time, we will take all the stuff indoors before it gets saturated.

I wish it would stay warm but a rainy weekend. The pups and us made the most of outdoors today. They learned new ways to deal with stairs and ramps plus they so enjoyed the extra room. I love this stage.

Each day they learn and perfect their skills. It is wonderful. It's like a brand new mom and dad watching their babies get better by the day and celebrating their achievements.
