Wow, Look At The Puppies With Their New Toy!

VIDEO – The puppies got a new toy yesterday and quickly started playing with it. You can see in the video that the rest of our dogs want to play too. Ruska and Brinkley finally got a hold of the new toy and it didn’t take long for them to destroy it in a game of tug-of-war!

A Visit to the Vet

Part of caring for our puppies is a visit to our Veterinary Clinic. On Monday we loaded 11 puppies into the crate and headed to see Dr. Westermann for their health check. My husband Tom kept watch outside and I took puppies in two at a time for their turn. They received a clean bill of health, their first set of vaccinations, and their microchip. Some of the puppies were brave and only made the slightest whimper while other puppies made sure we knew that the didn’t appreciate getting the microchip – LOL!

When we were finished, Dr. Westermann commented on how calm and well behaved all our puppies were. I was proud that all Ruska’s and our hard work was noticed. The shots always make puppies tired and they came home and slept most of the afternoon.

Today it was Ellie’s puppies turn to make the trip to see Dr. Westermann for their microchips, shots, and health check.

Dr. Westermann was amazed at how calm and well behaved all Ellie’s puppies were today. All the hard work by Ellie is paying off as she has calm, gentle puppies. The puppies received their first set of vaccinations and microchips. Everyone was brave with only the smallest complaint except for one puppy that let out a loud yelp! All our puppies were given a clean bill of health and returned home to sleep after the excitement of their first outing.
