Claire’s surgery went well — she was home by 3 pm and glad about that…
The surgeon said it will likely be 5 - 6 months before Claire is back in in shape for her normal life. I could choose to be morose about how long this is going to take but instead — isn’t it great that we can look forward to a return to normal life for her?
And more good news — swimming is recommended as part of the rehab and Claire LOVES to swim.
Today’s Puppy Tip is a literal one — don’t forget to trim toenails!
You can use human toenail clippers at this age. Smear some peanut butter or cream cheese on a plate or lid — have one person hold that for the puppy while the other person snips. Just clip the area above the pink quick — see Capella’s nail on the inside right for an example of one that needs trimming.
Easy Peasy — and don’t forget the front dewclaws.
Something else — if you are on Facebook and did not yet get an invitation to join the group for Bright Stars and Moonshadows, send me an email or search for it on Facebook. We would love to have everyone join who wants to — including friends of the two litters.
Have a terrific day!
