The first puppy has gone to her new home. "Rough Girl B" in the pictures on the website and Facebook page is now Maggie and living with a wonderful family near us in Ashburn. They had visited about 3 weeks and thought she would be a perfect addition.
Maggie's had quite a busy couple of days! All the puppies went for their first vet visit on Thursday for a vaccine and exam. They were pronounced healthy and happy! I forgot a fecal sample, but three of the pups obligingly supplied one in the exam room. Maggie got microchipped, as will the others when they go home. I did a couple of errands after the vet visit, which must have been too much time in the car as the puppies started getting car sick. Thursday was a rainy day and the puppies found mud to get into to add to the car sick sliminess that was tracked into the house.
Today, Maggie had her first bath, which she did not like. Just turning on the bath water made her scream like a wounded calf! She did enjoy being dried with a towel and cuddled but started crying again when she discovered she was in the puppy room without her siblings. When her family came though, the tail was wagging hard enough to almost come off! I brushed Maggie up a bit and showed how to brace ears. After going through all the paperwork, it was time to say good-bye. Maggie did a quick potty stop in the yard and she was ready for her trip to her great home. She's going to be well loved!
