The triplets and I went to Dr. Ashley Reynolds at Gasow, my vet clinic, first thing this morning for their very first trip outside my home. They had their six week check-ups, shots and microchips. They had the puppy hepatitis, distemper, parvo and parainfluenza vaccine. Dr. Reynolds pronounced them all A-OK and, as Arne Håkon would say, Yankee has his two stones.
Buska will be traveling in a couple of weeks so she will visit the vet again just before she leaves on a plane for her new home on the east coast. She looks huge because of her long hair next to short-haired Aska but their weight is almost the same differing only by a few ounces. Yankee weighs two more pounds than the girls; that's normal for males.
Everyone wants to touch and play with puppies but I don't allow that because they have no protections against disease yet and we were, after all, at the vets' office where people take sick pets.
They were really good, whining very little and being quiet in the car on the way there and back.
