Boy, the pups are keeping things hopping around here! Not only do they play like little banshees now, but their appointment calendar is crammed like the VIPs (very important puppies) that they are, VBG.
Yesterday, the whole gang got loaded into the van to go to work with me. We have a canine chiropractor that comes every two weeks to adjust the various performance and conformation dogs that train at Pup-A-Razzi. All three of the "big dogs" (Chili, Decker, Stoker) got adjustments, and then all six of the "little dogs" did too! The chiropractor made some minor adjustments on all the pups (they do play hard after all) and pronounced them all to be in good shape. I feel like proactive chiropractic care can be a help in preventing orthopedic issues from developing in dogs with an active lifestyle and PWDs have a definate tendency to be active!
I took the pups home in the afternoon, then returned to work to teach my evening classes. After classes were over, my friend Lisa met me back at the house to inject the puppy's microchips. Microchips are a super way to make sure your pet has a permanent form of ID. Should your pup (heaven forbid!) escape the fold and go missing, most vet clinics and other organizations that deal with stray dogs should be able to scan your dog for a chip and make sure you are reunited with your pet. We'll make sure that everyone fills out their paperwork and pays the small fee to register the chips before the pups leave for their homes and we will take care of submitting the paperwork for you. It's little details like registering microchips that sometimes get left undone in the excitement of bringing your new pup home.
Tommorrow the pups have their structural evaluation in the AM and their first vet visit in the PM. By the weekend, I should know which pup will go to which home and can tell everyone what pup will be coming home with them next week. Please be patient - I'll tell everyone the news as soon as I have things figured out.
