The pups are at the vets for spay and neuters today!



Good Morning and Afternoon,

This pic was taken a few days before the pups had their surgeries.  Both the children and the puppies really had fun in the sandbox.  Then they had more visitors that day, so were happy campers.


It certainly was not a happy ride this morning when I took them because they could not be fed and they REALLY love their food!  So, the ride to the vets was a vocal one.  However, no one threw up or salivated, so I know their 'conversations' were about the lack of food, not being in the car.

Emmett and Charlotte (was named Hedy), got their microchips without so much as a flinch but the rest will be under anesthesia when they get theirs - lucky pups!  Have you ever seen a microchip needle?  YOWSERS - they are thick!  Both Charlotte and Emmett came back home with me.  I had a lot to do rearranging the puppy room but with just two pups underfoot, it wasn't too bad.

Charlotte and Emmett really missed their siblings.

The puppy room was finished in time for the 'patients' and the pen on the right will be for Charlotte and Emmett as they, too, will begin 'crate training' along with the other four tonight.  It is NOT going to be a quiet night here at ADNE.  :+(

  • UPDATE #1:  Puppies are now out of surgery and doing well in recovery.  I will be picking them up around 4 PM.
  • UPDATE #2:  Pups have been picked up and brought home.  Before putting them in their pens, I gave each one a small meal.  They will be fed again later.  Charlotte and Emmett are wondering why they are not coming out to play.
  • UPDATE #3:  They are full of gumption this morning 8/20,  Both Otis and Cisco need cones on their heads because they will not stop licking their incisions.   Maddy needs lots of cuddles and Ace is just accepting things as they are.  Both Charlotte and Emmett are happy to be with their siblings again.  At night, they will be split up, two to a pen for sleeping.  They are only allowed in the outdoor alleyway adjoining the puppy room so I can monitor their activity level.


They are doing well and although they were vocal for a bit,
they are now asleep as Charlotte and Emmett wrestle.  Oi.  Time to finish the paperwork.
