Tootsie's Checkup

Tootsie had a vet checkup today and she's in perfect health. Originally, she was supposed to get her vaccinations, but as the pups aren't weaned, the vet and I decided she could wait one more month. It wasn't a spa day of relaxation for the mama, but at least she got a little break from her pups. 

One thing I learned though is that I'm not behind on giving the pups deworming. The Internet with "trusted sites" has varied when to give the pups the dewormer and that was my need for expert guidance. Online, I've read two weeks, four weeks, six weeks and eight weeks. Vet recommends six weeks, but with the holidays, it will be seven weeks. Somehow, we'll have to get ten puppies and Tootsie to the vet the first week of January. That should be fun!
