Big day for the puppies today. They had their first glimpse of the outside world! Sam, Mom, Tess and the 11 puppies (in 2 laundry baskets) loaded into the car and headed for the vet. The appointment went very well. Dr. Redden said that all the puppies and momma were doing great! They now range in weight from 3lbs.7oz. - 3lbs.14oz. This is almost triple what they weighed at birth! They were each given their first dose of the deworming medicine. They will have another dose at 4 weeks and a third at 6 weeks. This afternoon, everyone is back home safe & sound. As soon as the puppies were back in the whelping pen, Tess made sure all of her puppies were cleaned and fed...then they all napped for a couple of hours!
Ahh yes, the life of a dog!
