On Day 3 the puppies went for their first truck ride and check up to the vet. They also have their dew claws removed. The procedure is done at such an early age because the puppies pain sensors are not yet developed and it is thought that the process does not hurt them. Ed picked our boys up from the YMCA camp to help take all of the pups safely into the vet. Everyone had a fine check up and the removal of the dew claws went well.
We have put collars on the puppies, pink for girls and white for boys. The collars also have numbers that correspond to each puppy. You can follow along with the growth of the puppies and watch the development of your favorite.
Right now their bodies are about the size of a stick of butter and they are very wiggly & squirmy. The pups eyes and ears are closed and they have no teeth, but they must have a great sense of smell. As soon as Ellie gets into the box they start wiggling toward her for a drink and a snuggle from mom!
Everything makes them tired, so they sleep a lot! Sometimes it seems as though they fall asleep in mid wiggle!
