7 Weeks Old - April 26, 2008
Love Sweet Love
The “Sweet Things” have turned into WILD THINGS!!!! We had a few days this week where the sun was out, the grass was growing, and the temp made it up above 60 so the Candy Bar Kids got turned loose in the puppy play pen to explore and play. The pen is made of chain link surrounding a grouping of BIG rocks, a huge downed tree, live trees and lots of room to run, chase and play hide and seek!! They had a BLAST!!! Unfortunately, that great weather only lasted a few days and then we were back to snow and cold and back inside! Sigh.
This week was a big one for the Sweet things. They went to the vet for their final check up, got their first puppy shot, wormed for the 3 rd time, another toenail trim, and microchipped (BIG OUCH!!) All went well at the vets - no heart murmurs, no ear, eye or lung problems, no hernias, all testicles down sooooooo……A GREAT checkup and lots of attention and treats!!!
Teeth are completely in and personalities are definitely showing!!! Twix and Snickers are ‘Adventure” pups and are the most outgoing, Butterfinger and Baby Ruth are lap lovers & tummy rubbers, leaving Rolo, Hershey and Reese in the middle – meaning they can get talked into going on adventures but like to sit in my lap for nap time too! Snickers and Hershey are ‘pet” puppies because their teeth came in with an overbite. You can’t tell by looking at them that their teeth are not perfect and they can eat just fine, so only you and your vet will KNOW!!! Other than that, all pups are flawless red wheatens with black masks and perfect ridges!!!
I have 4 of Honey’s puppies in my puppy obedience classes right now and Honey will have a PAID ticket to obedience classes as well when she is ready. She will be spayed next week so that she can be a puppy herself again, and will be GREAT family member. We owe her, we owe her!!!
Our “Lil Bits” of Honey grew up to be the Sweetest Things and then the Candy Bar Barkers so now the time has come to send them to their new families for more LOVE, SWEET LOVE!!!
