Man’s BEST Blend

The Coffee Beaners have been brewed to perfection into full bodied cups of character!!  This week they enjoyed the BIG puppy playpen where they have big trees, big rocks and LOTS of room to PLAY!!!  They love running, jumping, climbing and getting into every thing they are NOT supposed to be into!!!  It is nearly impossible to keep track of them at the same time OR keep them from getting each other in trouble!!!  They are soooooo much fun!!!

They are completely weaned from Momma and eating very well on their own.  All are still gaining weight and size expotentially!!!  Teeth are very definitely in and being used!!!  Tusi likes to play with them daily, but she has gone on to her new life – Therapy Dog!!!  She and Lori are one of my teams in our Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog class and will be a phenomenal Therapy Dog team.  The whole litter, plus parents Tusi and Walley, went with us on a Therapy dog adventure to visit the kids at Volunteers of America.  What fun they had with the kids!!!!  Each pup is their own little self, so the end justifies the BEAN!!!

Coming up will be a BIG week!!  We are off to the Vet tomorrow for their final check up before going home.  I don’t anticipate any problems, but the vet will check for things like heart murmurs, clear lungs, all testicles down, etc….. My vet fills out a LONG checklist for each pup, so that every possible health check has been done and documented.  A copy is included with all other health documents for each puppy.  They get their first puppy shot (OUCH!), wormed AGAIN (yuck!), and microchipped for permanent identification (BIG OUCH!!) Considering the size of the microchip needle, it is pretty impressive how well our little Beaners take it!!!  No crying!!!  It helps that we rather quickly give them the good tasting wormer!!!  Don’t ask me how I KNOW that it is good tasting!!!  They like going to the vet because everyone takes their turn holding and playing with them so they get lots of attention and treats.

This has truly been a litter GOOD to the LAST DROP !!!!  I have no grounds for complaint and KNOW that GREAT and LUCKY new families await them to be their “Man’s BEST Blend”!!!!

Missed a progress report?  That's okay, you can catch up here.
