4/24/18 Weight Watchers Meeting

More growing, growing, growing for the pups! Since the last meeting 5 days ago they have collectively gained 8.5 pounds. That's 40 pounds since birth. Imagine that - it's almost as much as an adult PWD! One of them is over six pounds, another over 5 pounds, and the other 7 are closing in on 5 pounds.

As you can see, they have about outgrown the weighing system in use since birth. Hope the Aunt Mamma has a plan for the next weigh in.

Visitation Protocol

I've been sending this/variations of this to people about puppy visits so I thought it might be useful information for visitors and potential owners (or entertainment for people to laugh at the crazy dog lady)

Puppies are now ready for visitors and they especially need to meet children (and men.) Just not on a day/in clothes you've worn to a shelter/dog park/around a sick dog.

If you want to prepare them for 'the rules' or our procedure:

We take off shoes (don't wear white socks because the rubber floor, even when freshly steamed can discolor white socks);

wash hands thoroughly (sing the abc song twice while we rub the soap between our hands vigorously) and

put on a smock (an old men's shirt I keep for such purposes).

Then we come quietly out into the dog room and greet the big dogs (especially the Mama so she doesn't feel like she needs to protect the babies) before we go over to see the puppies.

The puppies are in a play area and we go carefully in and sit down to let puppies come to us or an adult hand them to you. You can make lots of noise with your voice - as long as it doesn't look like it worries the mama dog (probably wait until after you've been here for a little while).

When you are ready to get out, tell us and an adult will help you (don't want to trip over a puppy and hurt you or it). They have some neat toys that you can help show them but remember they are BABIES so they are fragile (careful, quiet hands and feet but we will want you to make some loud, funny, or silly noises for them eventually.)

You might want to remind them I can't see so they need to use words (I can't hear them shake or nod their head),

Thanks!
