Josie and Puppies

Here is an update on Josie:

her leg appears to be totally healed..she runs with the biggens full power, gets run over, rolls in the dirt, gets stepped on, plays totally rough and she has not been lame in a full month.

She has her rabies shot, all puppy shots, is de-wormed, and will be spayed in 2 weeks. Then she's ready for a new home . I don't think I even have to mention the injury, because that might lower her chances of being adopted at all. We'll see.

Olivia, day 19, and the Pack

Olivia, day 18, a Sunday at the Park

We spent the afternoon at the park today. Here are some pictures:





This one is screaming for LOL Dogz Cardz, hehhehhehe!! She looks like Marmaduke, doesn't she? Totally cartoon worthy!



And last but not least:

Honey, Butters, Olivia, Josie, and the rest of the pack

2 more puppies were adopted out yesterday, instead of Honey plus 1, so Honey will stay with us. Look at Butters' celebration!! We are all very happy. The other good news is that the adoptive parents of the 2 puppies offered to have Honey spayed as soon as she is ready for that, so this will be a HUUUUGE help!

The remaining 3 pups and Honey got their 8 in 1 vaccination today and I will take Honey in for her rabies shot next week and have her heartworm tested. I hope she turns up negative. One heartworm treatment (for Olivia) is more than enough!

Olivia, day 17

Took Olivia to the vet today to see if she is ready to start the heartworm treatment.

She weighs 100 lbs even (that's a weight gain of 30 lbs within 17 days!), but her liver isn't doing good enough just yet to start the treatment, so we are going to wait another 2 weeks with that.

She did get all her vaccinations, including rabies, today.

Honey plus 1 was supposed to be adopted out today, however, change of plans: 2 pups were adopted out and these very nice and kind people offered to have Honey spayed as soon as she is ready!

So, all I have left here is Olivia to get spayed once her heart worm treatment is finished; lil Josie needs to be spayed in 2 weeks; then it's Honey's turn in about a month.

Tomorrow the remaining 3 puppies will get their first puppy shot; Josie will get her 3rd and last 8 in 1 shot, and Honey will get her first as well. She is the only one left that needs a rabies vaccination, so I will set that up for next week as well.

Looks like we are all set! Now it's up to me to do some serious obedience training with them! Honey is such a natural and Olivia is getting there too, but lil Josie is a pain! She is turning juvenile now, testing the limits!

Olivia, day 16

Olivia, day 16. Day after tomorrow we have an appointment with the vet to see if Olivia is ready for her heartworm treatment next week! WHOOHOO!

Here she has some rice on her nose which I mix in her food, hehehe:
