We made it through the vet appointment with 14 puppies! My husband devised a plan to carry 3 in at a time in a puppy crate. Better him than me! LOL We piled 14 puppies into my van in 3 adult crates, and were serenaded all the way and from the vet's. Somehow, by divine intervention, no one was carsick or pooped. So, now I have the million dollar secret...puppies stuffed in a crate in a car=no poop! I'm rich, I tell ya! LOL

The fecal smear was negative for worms, etc. Yippee! They get one more round of worming this week. The protocol is 3 weeks in a row. Weights ranged from 7.4 lbs to 11.8 lbs!! All are in good health, which we knew. Their second round of vaccines are due in about 3-4 weeks. I space mine out a bit only because I am of the thinking that puppies are babies, and I try to keep to a recommended schedule, but extended.

Getting them to the van was a hoot! I felt like the Pied Piper of Hamlin. LOL I let them all outside in the back yard, and enticed them to follow me by banging on one of their feeding dishes. LOL They were like little ants scurrying around my feet. After the appointment we reversed the trail back to the back yard with my beating on my stainless steel drum. LOL

I am going to email everyone about times to pick up their puppies on Feb 27. I will be leaving Sunday around noon to return home, so it's Saturday 2/27 and Sunday a.m. 2/28. My work is coming to a close, but YOURS is beginning!
