Fantasy Pups
Friday was total crazy! After a busy morning cleaning pens and doing laundry, we rushed off to the vet for Phantasia's puppies' vaccinations and health examination. Dr. Greg checked each puppy's bones and joints, eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, heart, lungs, abdomen, gonads and bottom, as well as the puppy's disposition. He was surprised at how well-mannered our puppies are especially after dealing with a litter of unruly pitbulls earlier that morning. He commented on how readily they interacted with him, transitioning quickly from cautious to curious to friendly, curling their tails over the back and wagging it vigorously. He even got a "kiss" on the nose from each one. They were so fascinated with him that they did not even notice the "bee sting" between the shoulder blades when they got their shot. Every puppy got very high marks for both health and character! Dr. Greg than gave us an extra half hour just to "talk shop" as we discussed the ins and outs of puppy health, the pros and cons of various medicines, the genetics of fur coloration, etc. Then we ran home for a quick lunch and to pick up our next litter, Marshmellow's. Then it was back to the animal hospital for the next batch of vaccinations and health examinations. (This practice will not do multiple litters in the same visit.) Once again, every puppy got high marks for both health and character. As breeders, we were so proud of the praise we were getting, but we knew it was the great advise that we had been given by established home breeders that made the difference. (Shout out to the families of Taco and Wilma: although all the puppies were very friendly, Dr, Greg announced these two pups were his faves because they immediately began to lick his face when he knelt down beside the examination table to talk to them.) We ended our second visit with another pow-wow on the latest research on neutering and the ideal age to send a puppy off to its forever home. So we were feeling pretty good after these two vet visits. Everyone wants to have a healthy baby, but it is doubly happy to be told you are raisin' them right! We hope that each of our adopting families is also proud to have a puppy with such a good start, knowing that they can concentrate on continuing with a good beginning instead of having to fix a bad start. We got home just in time to start dinner. And tomorrow is Visitation Day for Marshmellow's puppies... looks like another cray-cray day! Examining the ears and eyes
