Happy To Report Seven Week Old Puppies In Perfect Health

Willow’s Puppies

Seven Weeks Old
LOOKING BACK

Willow’s puppies are now seven week old. They continue to grow bigger and more adorable each day. The puppies are full of energy and curious about everything. They love outdoor play time where they get lots of exercise running and playing with each other. Puppies have now made the transition to eating dry kibble puppy food. They are truly growing up!

We had a busy day yesterday – The puppies visited the Stouffville Veterinary Clinic for their wellness check, immunizations and microchips. We loaded the crate into the truck along with Willow’s puppies for their first car ride. We have about a fifteen minute drive to our vet and all our puppies did very well. They were quite most of the way and no-one was car sick.

It is a two person job when we take our litters to the vet. Tom keeps watch at the truck with the puppies while I shuttle the puppies two at a time for their visit.

We had two of our grandchildren with us yesterday. Our granddaughter stayed in her car seat and we kept her busy with some snacks. Our grandson was pappa’s big helper keeping watch over the puppies while they waited for their turn.

Dr. Westermann gave our puppies a full health check, their first immunizations, and their microchip. The immunization needle is so small, most of the puppies didn’t react. When it came time for the microchip which is a much bigger needle, we had a couple of brave puppies that only let out a small whimper but most of the puppies let us know that they didn’t appreciate it. LOL!

All the puppies back into their crate for the ride home. The puppies were tired and slept on the way.
Back home safe and sound
