Pictures as promised! PIPER X THOMAS LITTER at WEEK 8.

The pups are doing awesome! They were great yesterday as well but a bit whiny and noisy from being cooped up most of the day at the vets. They certainly did fuss for a bit when home but settled down for a good night's sleep.

Today - they are full of it and wanting to run and play. I have curtailed them quite a bit by minimizing their play area to just one of the wooden fenced pens outdoors. So, at their choice, they can be in or out but don't have a lot of running room. All are happy with this arrangement, including me.  :+)

Their incisions look wonderful, nice and small - very clean. Don't be surprised if you feel a bit of a bump at the incision site as this happens because I am not keeping them totally confined. I have to weigh my choices - either screaming, unhappy pups or a bump at the site that goes down in a few days with the full healing process. I opt for the bump because pups are feeling great, eating great and want to expend energy.
