We scheduled and early litter exam just in case a few of the new puppy owners insisted on taking them home for Christmas. The puppies have been eating softened puppy food and drinking water for a week and a half. The exam revealed no alarming issues, so the puppies are healthy enough to go home this week. We are encouraging the new owners to leave them with us until New Years eve, when they will have received their first booster shots, been checked for internal parasites and had another examination. (or bring them by so that we can take them) If the puppies go early, we insist they provide us with confirmation of their 6 week examination. We have been bringing our pets to see Dr Barker since 1998. (He has a very fitting name, although he cares for cats as well.) He was very gracious to describe his examination of the pups with the camera rolling. Dr Barker also provided us with a detail of his notes from his exam today. He printed enough for the new puppy owners as well. Thanks very much Dr Barker and Sun Valley Animal Hospital www.sunvalleyanimalhospital.com Also, we are trying very hard to contain ourselves. We are so proud and very excited that NASCAR racing legend, Dale Jarrett, has chosen to purchase one of Mocha’s puppies for one of his daughters! www.dalejarrettfoundation.org www.dalejarrettford.com Thanks Mr Jarrett!
