At our Vet visit on July 23, Ouzo weighed in at 13 lbs (up from 10 lb on July 2 ) and Sassafrass at 12 lbs (up from 9 lb on July 2). That almost a 30% increase in size in 3 weeks! Sassa’s taller than Uzi now, too. Puppies — they grow so fast…
The pups got a round of immunizations, which they handled without any drama. Nail clipping — no problem (DezandNick have been practicing that at home). So far, so good.
And then, the vet pulled the hair from inside their floppy ears. (If you don’t have a floppy eared dog, dear reader, think of overgrown old man ear hair to the nth degree.) Well, that’s where the fun ended. Serious drama — squealing, biting, you name it. DezandNick knew it was going to hurt the pups and opted to call in a professional (solid strategy there!); hopefully, from this point forward, it will be simple maintenance to keep their ears healthy. Dare to dream.
