The puppies were very good last night. Tootsie did have to go poop about 2am but I heard her on the monitor and we made it outside in time. I plan to move the crates to the pool room either tonight or tomorrow night. That way we have a straight shot right out in the mornings and they won’t have so far to go to hold it.
They were very good for their vet visit today and we have their first dose of heartworm ready to go. They were rather sleepy when she got here and kept melting although they perked up pretty well for the squirty cheese and the cream cheese. It was happy nappy time when she came.
They have gotten really helpful gardening, especially pruning the mint and lemongrass in the planter box. They like to aerate the Bermuda and help pull it out of the rocks as well so they are quite the little gardeners. But they decided that they needed to actually get into the flower box to do the job right so they need baths before we went to the Box with Aunt Colleen.
Turns out though, baths are wasted when one puppy pukes on everybody else as just before you pull in. Fortunately, I had taken extra fleecy pieces and we could wipe it off after we had the puppies wrangled. We should’ve taken an ex pen though. It would’ve been much easier. Eventually Bobby brought the crate in for us. They found the people VERY interesting. They weren’t really phased by too much except during the walkabout, Turtle was disconcerted at first by people jumping rope. Aunt Colleen just held her so she could watch them and she recovered. They didn’t flinch at the loud music or the dropping of the heavy weights but they did try to follow people as they went by. Leashes were tolerable at time, intolerable at others and toys at others. They did play with real toys and a water bottle some while we were there, too. And ate a LOT of steak. They added at least 8 new people to their list so we are up to 51 I believe. (My computer keeps restarting itself or crashing or something so the file is never where I can find it. I can’t tell which autosave is the right one and then I seem to somehow save over the right one. Or not but I can’t/haven’t taken the time to straighten it out.)
They did not get sick on the way home from the box. It lightly rained so they got to hear the windshield wipers and rain on the vehicle. Oh and as we were getting ready to leave the box, a train came by fairly close and blowing the whistle so we made sure we stayed through that. There was also a lot more traffic nearby than we normally encounter. It was a big trip.
Against all odds, they got even cuter today. T2J went over the wall (short ex pen) twice this evening, once before we left and once after we came home so I definitely have to change out the ex pen tomorrow. I think I’ll wait to move the crates to the pool room until I do that tomorrow.
I’m going to get the babies ready for nighty, nighty, nighty. They are sacked out after a big day and a VERY big evening so I may be able to get away with it all night. I can always come get them if they need to go out before daylight. Puppy breath to all…
