Dogdoc, Do you mind if I ask you a vaccination question? I hope it's not an imposition. I'm not sure if I should worry about our pup or not. Tucker received a one year rabies vaccination (in addition to other shots) at the Humane Society on 4-15-07. He was born 12-11-06. Today we took him for his first official vet visit/checkup, where he got his final DHLPP AND another one year rabies vaccine. I think there was some miscommunication between the vet tech and the vet, and Tucker ended up getting a shot he had just received only 3 weeks ago! Aside from being sleepy and low energy since we got home, he's acting pretty much normal (although he puked up vet-office doggy treats in the car on the way home...but those were not his usual treat). Is the second rabies shot in 3 weeks going to be a problem for him? He's 30 pounds, about 5 months old Aust. cattle dog/Aust. shep mix with no apparent health problems. Thanks in advance for your advice!!!! Babyruth, Sweetpea and Tucker

MerrySea, little "Aussie" is adorable!!! How nice that he has Archie, too, in his new family. Are they buddies yet? Slinkydog, thanks! Tuckerjuju (as he will be known here at TVCH, FYI Juju and Baby!) is a handful of puppy energy! We are doing our best to keep up, if not ahead, of his antics. Tera, how is Baby doing?

Babyruth, yes, Aussie and Archie are friends, which is good, because Aussie is going to get so much bigger than Archie!

Baby is excellent, thank you. It was a false alarm... or more like me being a nervous new mom. She is THE sweetest and cutest Beagle in the world.

Babyruth,I doubt if there will be any problem with the second rabies shot. Vaccines are tested for safety before going on the market. They are safe at high doses. Tara, there is no otc pregnancy test that I know of. We send in a blood test. The main problem with milk in the glands is that it may be difficult to make the spay incision. If the glands have a lot of milk they can hang over the midline area where the incision is made. It can cause a lot of inflammation if milk gets into the incision. Your vet can probably just palpate and feel for puppies. He will know if the enlarged glands would be a problem. See me at the farm if you have any questions.

Charlie has been into so much trouble this weekend. DS is here and helping DH build the gazebo over the hot tub. They keep making him get up stairs in the house. For instance DH dug a hole and put the dirt on a tarp...as fast as he was digging the hole, Charlie was in the dirt pile digging it off. He stole tools, grabbed nails etc, really a pest. And of course I didn't help by laughing at his antics.

Jasper, take a pix of Oscar next to something that will give us some idea of his enormous size.

What kind of dog is Oscar? Hes quite handsome.Im thinking thats the kind of dog (forgot the breed) that Courtney Cox has and that my friend wants but is having a hard time finding a kennel close by in Texas.

Ophiliasgma - I keep forgetting to do that. He's my happy boy! He's 2 1/2 now and still a big goofball but a handsome one. Lakecat he is a Bernese Mountain dog.

Also, where did the time go? I'd swear it was just 5 or 6 months ago that you brought that sweet little puppy home.
