The puppies had their first trip away from the house today. We needed three large crates to hold the puppies on our short drive to the veterinarian. The puppies did really well, I think we only had one mildly car-sick puppy on the way home. They didn't really like being confined in the crates at first but by the time we arrived at the vet's office most of them had settled down and took a little nap until the doctor was ready for us.
The puppies got lots of attention from the ladies who work in the office while we waited for our appointment. Dr. Ewing examined all the puppies; he checked their eyes and ears, took their temperature and checked their heart rates during his exams. All eleven puppies are healthy and received their certificates before we left the office. The puppies also received their first puppy vaccine today.
After our trip to the veterinarian the puppies played in the front yard. I was really happy that for the hour or two that we were gone most of the puppies held their bladders but as soon as we left them out of their crates they ran off to the grass to do their business. I forgot to take any pictures at the vet's office but we did take a few while they played outside this afternoon.
Dalton, your mom is going to LOVE this little girl!
