Anara was the perfect angel at her first official vet visit today. She stepped politely on the scale, lay down quietly while waiting and was polite during her exam. She was frightened of the stainless steel table but handled it with a some dignity by pancaking and attempting to keep her composure. She allowed her ears to be examined, cleaned and handled. Other than a yeast infection in her ears and some pustules on her chin from scratching, Anara came out with a clean bill of health. She rode like a dream in the car. She spent the rest of the afternoon playing with Jake and some Kongs.
The largest pup opened her eyes today. She was very inquisitive and curious. We were hoping the second pup would follow suit but she is still busy telling tales. She might figure out that her eyes open if she closed her mouth and stopped chattering for a few seconds. Nevertheless, she is passionate about her chatter. They are starting to eat a lot more, poop and pee a lot more and look like they are getting ready for some major life transformations. They weigh over a pound now and are gaining steadily each day.
Athena is still on bed rest from her spay surgery. Her life at the moment is rather dull by anyone’s standards. She has tried to pass her time chewing kongs and licking bones but she is four month old puppy and really wants to run and play. We worked briefly on her leash walking skills as she has a habit of walking slightly in front and then crossing into your path. For all of our safety we needed to reinforce safer skills so she wasn’t stepped on and we didn’t fall over the top of her. This weekend has some promise of human visitors for her. She is craving attention, games and some mental stimulation.
