Yesterday the puppies went on an adventure to the vets for their first vaccination and to get a general health check. Transporting them proved to be a big challenge! We decided the easiest way to do it was to put them all in a crate on the front seat. They slept on the motorway; however, when we got to the side roads, a couple of them started howling and one of them had a little car sickness all over her brother! Once we eventually got them into the vet, they were very pleased to meet Poppy's favourite vet: Kfir (as you can see by the blur of the ginger girl's waggy tail)! They were all very well behaved when being examined, and not one of them cried when they had their injection! Our vet confirmed that they are perfectly healthy, happy & sociable puppies - we are so proud!
Kfir told us to keep a close eye on them for the next 24 hours to ensure none of them has a bad reaction to the vaccination. Luckily,when we got home, they all seemed completely un-phased, as if nothing had happened. They had their crazy half hour where they ran around playing, then ate their dinner as usual without even noticing the worming tablets we added in. The ginger girl even seemed up for a late night Kardashathon (watching KUWTK episodes back to back) with me!!
Finally, they all snuggled down in their bed, for one of their last night's sleep all together as a litter. I can't believe they are 8 weeks old already and will soon be going off to their new homes! We have had such an amazing time with them and it is going to be so, so hard to say goodbye; however, we know they are all going to amazing homes.
