First Week

Lokum and her pups on 8/28/06. They have certainly grown since birth just two days ago. Lokum is an awesome mom !

9/1/06 Lokum's pups getting physicals, dew claws removed, and socialization begun with children (see below).

Today was a very busy day for the puppies. Heather our vet arrived and I had Issac my farm helper take Lokum out for a very long walk. I knew she would not like to hear her puppies fuss when their dew claws were removed.

Once Lokum was gone, Heather gave each puppy a physical. I had her do a very close check of all the pups.

She said all were very healthy. All were fat, growing well, and happy with no problems. She checked each tummy and all were just fine with no hernias.

Next she removed the dew claws. Of the 8 pups 5 had double dew claws on both back legs. She said they were really large and it was good they were being removed. The other 3 had their dew claws removed as well.

I had two children over to help socialize the pups and give them some hugs, kisses, and love after the dew claws were removed. The little girls were very happy to hold and love on the pups after the procedure.

9/1/06 - Lokum's pups being socialized by children. Lots of love, hugs, and kisses :)
