Aloha

Nov 282018

On Tuesday morning Mary and Mochi flew away to Hawaii. Mochi had fulfilled all the Hawaii quarantine requirements and was cleared to go to Hawaii under the airport release program. So aloha Mochi. We miss you, but you have a wonderful home. We’ll look forward to seeing you when you come to the mainland to visit.Upon arriving home, Mochi immediately jumped into her new bed along with her ball. Mary says that Mochi spends lots of time in her bed with her toys looking out the front door watching for people and all the activity in front of the house.

Happy 8 Week Birthday!

Nov 252018

The puppies are thriving. Once in a while Flo-Jo will let them nurse, but it won’t be long before she calls it quits. She’s done her duty and taken good care of her babies.

As I wrote in the last post, all the puppies are very healthy. There were no ill effects from their first vaccinations. They are spending more and more time running around my puppy-proofed home. They love to be around the “big” dogs. They had visitors on their birthday. They welcome and enjoy everyone they meet. Next week we will start leash training.

VET VISIT

Nov 232018

At approximately eight weeks old, puppies get a physical exam and their first puppy shots.

The areas of examination include general appearance, eyes, ears, teeth and occlusion, cardiovascular, respiratory, abdomen, musculoskeletal, skin, lymph nodes, urogenital, nervous system, patella exam. They passed with flying colors.

The boys are very tired from their outing today.

The girls were quite brave when they got their shot. I didn’t hear a peep. They had a nice nap on the way home and didn’t really want to be awake for a picture.

Expanding Their Horizons and Exploring Their Environment – 7 Weeks Old

Nov 182018

The pups meet new “challenges” with gusto. They love to roam around the kitchen and laundry room. They are happy to sleep in their exercise area and still spend a lot of time playing in there, but then they let me know they want OUT. They were gifted a new bed today. They tipped it over, chewed on it, climbed on it and eventually even slept in it. It’s a hit.

This bed is comfortable!

Pink Girl can run like the wind. She likes to play and she still has a particular affinity for 7 month old Wilson.

Sweet is a good word to describe Purple Girl. She has a sweet face and a sweet personality.

Orange Girl is always ready to take on something new. She is also very playful.

Blue Boy is interactive. He wants to spend time with his human family. He particularly likes my son.

Green Boy will often asked to be picked up. He is usually happy to cuddle.

“Are you looking for a good time? I’m your man!”
Sometimes Brown Boy thinks the best times involve jumping on his sibs and wrestling them to the ground.

Puppies Meet the Clippers and Scissors

Nov 152018

Yesterday was bath and nail day. Today is the day to trim some of that wild puppy hair.

This is Blue Boy’s chance to model his new “do”. His hair is about an inch shorter after his trim.

Spa Day

Nov 142018

It’s been a busy day for the puppies. Today was bath and nail day.

Today the “BIG” dryer was used. That takes some getting used to.

Green Boy gets his picture taken because he was the most brave in the bath and getting dried with the more powerful (and noisy) dryer. Good job, Chewy!
