Vet Visit

Here is the gallery of the Spirit pups.

The pups had their full checkups, microchips and vaccines today. No one howled. No one put up much of a fuss but the littlest one did think a bucking bronco thing was appropriate. Yes, she is always unique. What is interesting is how she played catch-up with her sister. The boy slimmed down and he is a boy so a bit bigger.But that doesn't mean he will remain the latgest. I think they are all going to be around the same weight.

Here are the weights.

Girl 2lb 13oz

Lttlest Gal  2lb 14oz

Yes, you read that right. The littlest is no longer the littlest.

The boy is now 3lb 10 oz

So, as you see you never know what their weight will be. The littlest will always be known as the littlest. Right away the vet knew she was a character and said this one needs an active home. She is too smart for her own good. We laughed!

Hmmm

Nothing like a puppy kiss. The pups are even more than they were last visit. The littlest jumps leaps and bounds. It still is hard to tell the gal from the boy but you can if you really look.

Tomorrow is the vet and she comes to the house in the early afternoon. We will take photos.

Thursday I an giving them baths as I can't Friday as we have teeth cleaning here and I have dogs to groom. Saturday is the visit and then the fun begins as we do the countdown till departure.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Outside Fun is Grand

Here is the upper deck gallery.

We also had some pups playing with them today so it was extra fun and they so enjoyed it. To see more, watch the videos.

You will see them sprinting, leaping and plain having fun. They make me laugh and laugh and you will too.

I am glad that we have the vet coming vs handing pups off at the door. This makes it a nicer experience for you and for us!

Momma and Son

Spirit really cleans up her pups and makes sure they are taken care of.

The pups are no longer feeding from the moms. Oh, they still try but really there is nothing there any longer.

Last night, for the 1st time they did not have food at bedtime. Come morning they ate well and slept well. This is how we get them to be ready to come to your place. The goal is a full night sleep and eat only during the day. They have begin the process.

The pups are also trying new things and beconming confident in their skills. It is wonderful to watch.

Videos are getting uploaded now.
