Field Trip!

Yesterday we took the puppies on their first field trip to the veterinarian! The puppies were due for their 5 week puppy checks, and I had plenty of little helpers.  My 3 children (Boden, Gracyn, and Kinley) came along as well as my 3 nieces (Maryn, Birkley, and Laney).   At one time I think we had 9 humans and 9 puppies crammed into the exam room.   All the puppies have a clean bill of health, and "look really good," according to Dr. Kortlever.  After we got home we took down the whelping box and gave the puppies free reign of the shed.  Now they have more room to run and play which is what they need b/c they are getting to be very mischievous.   We also gave them their 5 week shots, and kennel cough.  All in all a good day for the puppies!   Maybe a little stressful, but a good day!  This week's forecast is pretty mild, and we're looking at 50 degree weather by the end of week so there should be plenty of time outdoors!
