The puppies got up really early to say Happy Birthday to Dog Cindi. And then we loaded up before daylight to drive to the veterinary chiropractor. Paranoid person that I am, we took a possibly inordinate amount of prevention to make sure there was no potential contamination. Thanks Colleen for being the “outside” driver. She drove the other dogs, we only had SDB and the pupsters. She also had to be beside our van and take out ‘dirty’ clothes, shoes, etc. at our stops (and make the candy run, too). The vet was wonderful as well, she didn’t balk at my giving her a coverall (which we also gave to Colleen when she took it off afterward) and met us out at the van.
A couple of the puppies got carsick on first leg of the trip. I don’t blame them, I fight not to get sick on that part. But they were goo little travelers after that. We’ll see how they do when we go for CERFs in Columbus. I’ll remember to give them a little ginger before that trip just in case, too. Fortunately for us, the MamaBug didn’t puke for them on the trip and we fed them again when we got home. She did nurse them when we stopped and again on the way home when I sat back there and helped her brace while we rode. At that point, I thought I might be hurling for them.
They continued their streak of being adorable another day. And they started looking over the top of the ferret ex pen in the van. Little front feet reaching up and them straining to find a way out. I guess it’s almost time to reinforce the defenses (the real ex pen.)
Our Kennel Club all breed show and obedience trials are this weekend. I am not going since I don’t leave puppies and worry about bringing ‘things’ back to the puppies. Their uncle Rowdy and brother Armada are the only PWDs entered. They are trying to have a some good ring experience since Rowdy has only been to one weekend of shows and he was a little distracted. Good luck to them but they won’t get to see the pupsters.
Caly (their sister) is staying with us a few days while LeAnne recovers from knee surgery (plus Caly needed to go to the chiro with us since she is quite the exuberant puppy at times.) She is getting much more interested in the puppies (last time she was very careful to keep a respectful distance) and they are interested in her. She and Turtle were talking to each other. I hope Turtle doesn’t decide to go over the ex pen to play with her ;-)
