Sorry for the huge gap in entries on our BLOG this summer. A combination of vacation, technology and the arrival of our newest family member has slowed things down a little!
Sophie, our new puppy arrived in late June and is now a little over 3 weeks old. She is an amazing bundle of energy and love and very sharp teeth. I totally forgot what it is like to have a puppy - it’s been 15 years. It’s a ton of work but totally rewarding at the same time. Sophie is an Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Lab mix. She looks more like a Beagle at the moment!
The best development in the Puppy world since we got our last one is Puppy Socials. Held by local vets, dog trainers or vets, these are loosely structured training sessions that can start after with your first Parvo shot. They wash the floors down with Parvocide so that puppies can play and socialize without fear of getting sick. The socialization is so important in the first 15 weeks and Parvo has had it scary.
Check out the puppy socials in the area before you get your new pet. It makes a huge difference in the happiness of your pet!
