09-14-13 The Big Day

Happy Birthday my little litter of 5!  This is a happy and sad day for us.  3 of the 5 are going home.  We will be busy clipping 80 toe nails, giving 5 baths, cutting 10 ears, clipping 5 tails, and around 20 paws!

They are all up and active.

Little Joe finally ate his heartworm pill (the pills are too large)!  Sweet pea ate 1/2 of her pill.  Dolly is absolutely not interested!

We had a visitor this morning.  I met her in her lamp shop in Tyler. Guess what I saw in the lamp shop?  Her Cairn Terrier.  She came to visit the puppies this morning before they left!

By 12:00, I was finally able to start washing the puppies.  Thank goodness, they dry quickly!

We visited with Little Joe's parents from about 1:30pm to past 3pm.  As they were leaving, our husbands found they had the same major in college.  So that started another conversation.  Mary and I could have talked all day!  This was there first visit to our house.

Amanda and her mom came for Zoey!  This was Amanda's second visit to the house.  We took a ton of pictures especially of Maggie and Zoey!

I went over my 20 items to share with each family.  Each had Cairns previously.  From the past experience, every one forgets in 13 or more years what it is like to have a Cairn puppy.  So, we go through many categories as quickly as we can!

Showed everyone how to make their puppies SIT, DOWN, COME, and FOLLOW!  They only had 4 training sessions on SIT and DOWN.  They all learned really fast and remember everything!  Very smart puppies!

Then, there were two!
