Clara's pups went in for their spays and neuters this morning.

 I just received the call that all went well and that I will be picking up the pups late this afternoon.

In order to give them some movement but still curtail them from running or climbing, I have just finished bleaching the alley that leads from the pup room to their playpens.  They will have to play here for a couple of days until they show healing.  It is unfortunate because lately they have been really enjoying climbing and sliding down the Lil Tykes Slide/Clubhouse.  They all have it mastered.  :+)



 Here are the pics of the 'patients'.  Tate has been home alone and she was quite upset not to have her littermates.  I took her with them for the ride and to get her microchip - she was a trooper!  Her brothers and sisters had the 'painless pinch' because they were under anesthesia when done.

Coco came home, ate a small meal along with her med to help with swelling and rested.  That is what smart pups are suppose to do.  :+)

 All of the pups went outside quickly once they had a long drink of water.  Coco at the top with Dixie in the middle and Cheddar on the bottom.

All the pups had bloodwork to be sure they were healthy enough to go under anesthesia and that there were no heart concerns.  I always do this as a precautionary measure.

My vet is a sweetheart and cuts their nails and cleans their ears while under.  I was told they were excellent patients before, during and after surgery.  I might also add, that NONE of the pups got sick in the car going to or coming home today!  Yeah!!  Update:  Green Boy has a home!
