Vet Visit

Hope none of you are sensitive. But I caught this by accident and it looked like Choco was saying - really...
The vet was checking to see if he had 2 descended testicles and they all did. He checks them completely and all are healthy including their fecal that I took in.
Here is the gallery before the vets.
When we take them to the vets they get their food taken away a couple of hours ahead of travelling to avoid any squeamish tummies or accidents. They are babies after all and travelling so far both ways plus the visit can set them up for failure and I prefer to set them up to succeed.
They actually played for a couple of hours then we put them in their crate and packed them up in this rented van. I make mention as this rented van was nice and all but the suspension was awful. I thought if puppies are going to get sick from this bump bump bump that kept happening this was it. But no one got sick and no one had an accident. They did get back home though and emptied their bladders after getting out of the crate. Bravo little ones.
Here is the gallery at the vets.
How did they do? Well on the way for about 5 minutes one of them whined - not loud but a sort of let me out of here. Then they settled in. It wasn't a loud cry. It was more or less - really is this where I am going to remain? On the way back they were quiet.
During the visit - well just before but in the waiting room they were excited. We took out each and walked them around. No shakes on ANY of them. No concerns in the least. The vet was very impressed with them. He says a laid back mom has some pretty laidback and outstanding pups and that's Roxie.
A couple of them vocally said I don't like this microchip insertion. No one made a sound with the vaccines.
They were rather great! They are all healthy. Weights varied.
Let's see:
White chin 4lb (the largest boy in his litter like his daddy)
First Born 2lb 15oz
Brown and White 2lb 8.5oz
Mostly white 2lb 14oz
Choco Boy 3lb 1.5oz
Guess my scale was bouncing so mine were not as accurate when I tried to take them days ago or someone gained. :-)
When we arrived home the crew was so excited to see mom and she was excited to see them.
Here is the gallery after we arrived home.
Now they are resting in their xpen after playing outside.

Wonderful photos of the vet visit. Truly great, but also nice to see photos of you Darlah! The pups are looking beautiful and so healthy. Well done everyone!
I agree with Anne, nice to see you Darlah with one of Roxie's puppies.
They are all a good weight.
Well done, little ones!
Great pics! Nice pic of you Darlah! What great puppies. No matter what puppies we go home with, I think that we are all winners with this great little bunch.
They are truly beautiful puppies. And Marjolein you are right they have a wonderful mom and any one will be wonderful. Darlah you look great and you are holding my favourite pup. I think it is because he reminds me of Rusty when he was a pup. The photos are fabulous and good on the pups for being so good.
