Each of the puppies, now just two days shy of eight weeks old, had their wellness checks and got their microchips and vaccinations yesterday afternoon (thank you Dr. Scott and tech, Melissa, from Watertown Veterinary Clinic for coming out.)  Reine nursed for one of her last times this morning and the first family arrived to spend some time with their puppy before driving him home to Wisconsin (tomorrow).  This will be a busy weekend as the puppies begin to leave us.  Three will depart tomorrow and three more on Sunday.  It’s a bittersweet time for us in some ways as we let go of these babies that have been “ours” but we know they are ready for the wonderful families that will now call them theirs.
