6/14 - Flag Day
6/14 - Ok so I envisioned little puppies marching around together in review with little flags....not these guys!!!! They are wild and crazy puppies chasing me around the kitchen with their food bowl in my hand.... now that ought to be an image maybe not patriotic but none the less.... Almost lost a limb today. They were hungry!
Speaking of food - don't forget to go buy your Blue Buffalo Freedom Puppy (baby blue bags). I recommend at a minimum one 24lb bag. I also recommend some canned Blue Buffalo Freedon Puppy or Blue Buffalo Wilderness canned (all NO GRAIN foods). I feed approximately one tablespoon per meal per puppy with their kibble and water mixture. It really promotes the appetite - especially after the drama of separation from the litter, a car ride and new surroundings and family. They probably won't eat their first scheduled meal - don't worry. If they still skip after the first 2 meals - call me immediately. We will figure out how to get them to eat together.
If you haven't already, get your Essay about your future puppy in today! I need those by Friday AM.
Don't forget a crate and couple towels for the trip home. I promise not to feed them before they leave! I also recommend a bottle of water, bowl, leash(cheap on for now - they will chew it up). I have collars on each puppy. Bring some papertowels. DO NOT USE cleaner in the crate and put the puppy right into it. This will make them very sick. So if they throw up, use water to clean up until you get home.
The vet visits tomorrow morning. We will do shots (1st set), microchipping and health checks. They will then have another bath and play outside for a little while if the weather permits. It will be a full day for the puppies.
Saturday is the LER - Litter Evaluation Report Day. It will be extremely busy for all. I will return calls in the evening on Saturday. Any last minute questions etc...will be addressed after we complete the LER which maybe after 8pm. So if you have any concerns, Friday is the time to call.
More later....
