A whole 9 weeks old and we are counting down to 'HOME BOUND'! (Tate x Thomas)

Now is the time to go over my Guaranty/Warranty and if you have concerns, contact me asap! Go over the supplies list under Points to Ponder in the AnnaBlog and understand/research what you would like to have for a vaccine schedule. Ask your vet FIRST if he even has the vaccine protocol you wish to follow. Be specific - i.e. 'Do your vaccines ONLY have DHPP or are there other vaccines in the combination as well?' If at all concerned, ask to see the vaccine label.  A 4-way vaccine (DHPP) is enough for their young bodies to handle right now.  Of course, after six months or so, you can consider giving them others if you feel strongly they will need it due to your lifestyle. With regard to Kennel Cough, the NOSODE form of it (a drop in the nose) is much better for your doodle and can be given at either with the 12 or 16 week vaccine schedule. Refrain from the vaccine if possible as it is a different make up than the nosode. You will need protection from Kennel Cough if you will be going to puppy classes, training classes, groomers, vets, etc. because it is contagious and is like a 'cold for dogs' - spreading to other canines.

On another note, Miss Harriet Potter is really enjoying Tate's pups at this age. Harriet is known as 'The Sargeant' around here. When with pups, she is usually a strict disciplinarian. The other day, I let her in with Tate's pups, along with Annabelle. It was really nice to see Harriet stepping it up because my dear Annabelle is aging and we will need another 'old soul' to teach dog language around here at some point.

The next time I post on Tate's litter, it will be with pics of each pup with their new family!  I can hardly believe it.  The week of the 13th will be full of appointments and very busy around here! I sure hope the weather keeps up as it has been wonderful for the pups to be outdoors.  :+)
