7 and 8 Weeks Old - Winter “Wanderers”!!!!!

Our little Winter Wonders are ready now to explore their new world and lives and become the Winter “Wanderers”!!!!

They are full fledged wild child puppies now!!! They love running, jumping, climbing and getting in to everything they are NOT supposed to be in to!!!   It is nearly impossible to keep track of them at the same time OR keep them from getting each other in trouble!!!

This was a BIG week!!   They got 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 Wonders took 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 are fat and sassy and growing like weeds. Their final vet check on Saturday held no surprises.   All passed with flying colors despite the rather intensive poking and prodding that goes on!!!   They weigh between 14lbs for Icicle and 19lbs for Snowball, except for little Snowflake who only weighs a whopping 6.5lbs.   She is tiny, (we don’t use the ‘runt’ word !!), but scrappy!!! No heart murmurs, lungs all clear – a wonderful, healthy litter over all. They like going to the vet because everyone takes their turn holding and playing with them so they get lots of attention and treats. 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 when they go to their new homes.

It will be interesting and challenging for the puppies to wander into their new lives!! They have no idea what grass or dirt or really “outside’ is as they were born in the COLD and have grown up in the COLD!!!   But they have warm little bodies and warm little hearts and are ready to ‘wander” into their new lives and become Winter “Wonders” for their new families!!!!

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