YOu'll probably have to deworm at least twice. With round worms, if the mother had them ever, her pups WILL have them. The worms encyst in the muscles and pass to the pups in utero. Then there are tape worms and hookworms and worse.. With my first litter we didn't deworm and at like 7 weeks we also had them throwing up roundworms! Freaky.. Their mom was an English import and apparently was loaded with worms as a puppy. After that we started worming them way younger so they didn't get so big (the worms, not the puppies).

Yuk, but necessary on the worming! Everyone here will get two rounds when Norm arrives, but since we do not have fleas in the desert, we won't have to do it continually. Thank gawd! Lucee is a character!

It's official, both girls have worms and I probably worried too much. I called the vet this morning just to make sure that they didn't need any more visits before their next shots. No.. this is what is supposed to happen.. But heck, it's scary when you're a new momma! And yes, their momma had worms as a puppy. On a happy sidenote, these pups let me sleep until 10:30 today! I think Sandy slept with me all night. Then mocha came up at some point this morning. At one point, i kinda woke up and noticed that mocha was all sprawled out on her back and sandy was snuggled up right next to her. Sooooooo Cute! I was too tired to get the camera though.. LOL

Well...living with Lucee is like having a two year old in the house. Our frenchie is fun but a normal little dog, not this little pug! I just finished repotting a jade plant. Went back in the garage to get some more dirt, came back and the plant was gone. Pot looked like it hadn't been touched. My husband and I looked for it, found it laying on the grass. I looked at Lucee and she had dirt on her muzzle. No mystery who did it!

Well, we are home. Charlie-Bob is trying to "talk" dh into going back outside to play. He slept in the car all day, first with the shelter volunteer and her friends (these women are up to no good, I think. They were on their way to a Rick Springsteen concert with multi-coloured hair.LOL), then with us. So now he is full of spit and vinegar and rarin' to go, while we are pooped. We drove 580 kms to get this pooch.
Would you believe Canada Customs actually showed some heart today? Since money changed hands to get the dog, we also needed a $25 health certificate to make Charlie a Canuck. By rights they should have charged us GST as well. But after consulting an older colleague, the kid declared they would waive that fee since "it's a nice thing you are doing for him". Well, I'll be darned! He has sniffed out most corners of the house. Dh even found him in the tub. Guess he wanted a shower before bed. So far he has been examplary. What a great little traveler he is! Done that crazy Bichon blitz (although there is plenty of poodle in there as well)through the back yard, tuckered out dh and ds, lifted his leg on the shed (trying to get used to a male dog.LOL) and emptied his bowls.
Wow, while I was typing he got the drift that dh is ready for a quiet evening and made himself at home on a blanket next to his chair. I'll post better pics as soon as we have taught him to hold still and pose. Supergranny, I hope Lucee's antics are not contagious. Saxy, good luck with the deworming. It's normal for new Momma's to worry (old ones, too). I'd be concerned if you didn't.

Wow, Lumbele, sounds like Charlie-Bob is fitting RIGHT in with you! And good on the customs people for showing some heart, too. What a FACE he has with that dark dark pigment!!

Oh Lumbele, he is so cute! I love getting to see all these dogs and hear the dog stories. And I agree with you about hoping Lucee's antics aren't catching. She is a handful. My husband says how can people work and have a pug!

Hey Owl, why don't you post any website that your pet shelter might have. Or if there is no website, maybe make a list of items you guys could use and an address and maybe we big animal lovers here at TVCH can send you guys some supplies.

Okay, I have a problem. And I don't know if the culprit is a cat or a dog (I have some of each!) Someone is peeing in the corner of our dining room. Any suggestions? The pee smells, but does not have the eye rolling, heart stopping smell that I thought cat pee had. So I kinda think it is not a cat. (Anyone know if all cat pee smells extremely intense--or was that just my particular female cat who had that smell?) It is in the corner and I really don't see any on the wall (like I would think if it were either of our dogs--they are male.) I really don't know what to do. You would think that I do. But I don't. Help!

Is this a new happening? How big is the puddle? How close to the wall is it? Did anything change in the household recently to make the animals rebel?

Relatively new. Since we don't go in the dining room much, I really don't know how long. Nothing new to make them rebel. Is there any way or test to find out (cheap) if the pee is dog or cat? I happen to have paper towels that were peed on. I put paper towels in the corners last night, and sure enough this morning, they were wet... The puddle is very close to the walls-right in the corner.

If it is a sweetish smell...apple cider sort of... it means a urine/bladder infection more than likely a cat. If dogs are both males there would be some on the wall or molding

The Beagle is cute, Charlie-Bob is cute! My puppies are cute!! And boy oh boy, do I miss them! My mom took them home today. We decided that it would be easier for me to clean the apartment without them running around. That way, they won't get into any of my cleaning supplies either. Also, I don't have to worry about finding a place to keep them while I check out of the apartment. I'm headed home on Tuesday, about 11 probably, which means I'll be seeing my puppies about 2. Less than 48 hours! I'm very thankful for the puppies right now. My fiance is headed off to month of training a week from tomorrow and it's looking like he'll be headed back to Iraq. By then, I'll be Mrs. Schultz.. But that's a whole nother story. I spose I should head over to the Military thread soon. I'll have new puppy pics later in the week!

Thanks, everyone! Charlie is adjusting very well to life at my house. There are a few minor kinks we still have to work out, one at a time. For the most part he really is no trouble at all. He has bonded with everyone here, but is seeing dh as top dog now. Of course, that's the one who takes him for walks, feeds him and goes on car rides. Dh hasn't walked this much in a year, in spite of a bum foot. Thank you, Charlie!!!LOL
Charlie looooooooves a bath
Squeeky clean!
