This is going to have to be really brief because I just got home a little while ago from what seemed like an all day trip to the vet and back. Our family friend and veterinarian, Dr. Harty, lives 2 hours away from us, back in Volusia county where we used to live, and she usually comes to us when it's time to do puppy health checks, but this time her schedule would not allow her to come, so I loaded up the puppies and Cleone and went to her. My 16 year-old sister, who is almost ready to get her full driver's license, kindly agreed to dedicate her day to helping me, so she drove all the way there and all the way back for me. Unfortunately, the big crates won't fit in our car and the little crates are too small, so I bedded a couple of the pups down in a big Rubbermaid container, one with Cleone on a sheet on the back floorboard, and a couple more in a small crate on the back seat. They all handled the ride really well, though they were a bit stressed out at first, but none of them cried or had accidents in the car, so I am very thankful for that. Now, the important part: They all checked out well from Dr. Harty, except that Logan is on the thin side and Mac has an umbilical hernia. Both issues should resolve themselves with just regular good care, which I know they will receive. Cleone is healing up okay, but still has her staples and stitches. I allowed her to go without her cone collar too early and she has been licking the injured area, so it is healing more slowly. Tonight, I put the cone back on, and a little later, found her relaxing quietly in the bin which the puppies had ridden in to the vet and back. My father installs satellite internet and that cone always reminds me of a satellite dish. I guess you could say she's tuned in!
