I mean, Sure, I'll miss them, but I am rather excited to send them out into the world. The families I found to take them are beyond amazing,and I wouldn't want it any other way. So, to start out, yesterday was their first grooming: Everyone came to work with me :)
i think it was a great experience for them! They haven't been out in public before, and they got to see different dogs and hear different noises. And you better believe all of the customers thought they were just the cutest :)
So. On we go, And by the way, I had no one to take pictures of me while I trimmed, so you'll only get an after affect. I tipped their ears, did their nails, and cut around their paws and between the pads to get them ready for future good behavior for their groomers as they get older. The earlier you start the better!
So Duff (Black) was first.
As you can see, he was very excited to go, pulling my apron the whole time.
But as it went on, he became less, and less interested.
And decided he'd rather eat the nail clippers instead..
And then there was little Baby Bella.
And I must say, not only was she the BEST at getting their picture taken, but she also has the best terrier coat out of the bunch :) Full of wire.
And Daisy Belle, she was another story..
After about 4354540957 picture tries, this is the best I could get out of her:
She just did NOT want to stay put!
And Winston was EVEN WORSE! I just had to suck it up and distract him..
He's still cute though :)
Maybe it was all the other things going on around, that got them so antsy.
And they were all like typical terriers, anti Nail Trim.. BUT it must be done, and I need to play with their feet more often to rid them of the fussyness.
Next Friday, Bella, Winston, and Duff will be headed off to their new homes :)
I get Daisy a whole nother 2 1/2 weeks until her family comes!
I'm hoping, that I can get a neat group shot sometime this week before they take off. I'm just hoping, because as you saw above, they don't hold still very long :)
We had quite the week... last Saturday Zoey had gotten a clogged "milk duct" and it ended up abscessing, rupturing, and needing emergency surgery..Sorry for the graphic photo, but this is what I came home from work to:
So yet, another surgery for the poor Zoey.
But even through all of that, she still managed to squeeze into her favorite spot under the bed!
It's been over a week now, and I caved in and removed the cone. She kept bumping into things and honestly, that doesnt look comfortable!
Now.. those puppies.. they are getting to be SUCH a handful! and poor Snuffy was left to fend for himself while Zoey recovered :)
I tried taking pictures, I really did! I PROMISE! But they're just too hard to catch.. so instead, I made this video, Hope this better helps you to understand: By the way: Excuse the mess! I had just taken the pups for a check up, and some how managed to get the groceries in the house, Imagine that! And I hope your volume isn't up too high, my camera made me sound a little squeaky.
Cute, right? It's a good thing I dont have kids.. because THESE kids are a lot to handle.
Oh! and Zoey's Birthday's tomorrow :)
Here's a tribute to my baby:
This is the first day I got her, She was the cutest :) But she was NOT a fan of the bow..
Monsterr!!
and then, two weeks later, we got her boyfriend :)
And they went through their "ugly ears too big for head stage" together :]
and they learned to love grooming (NOT!) They are very lucky that I'm their groomer, I put up with a lot more of their crap then I should..
We've come quite a long way, So Happy Birthday Zoey! 2-14 and Snuffelupagus! 2-23
The pups are a whopping MONTH old today! it's crazy how big they're getting! and their little barks and growls are the cutest :] Here are some individuals for everyone! (refer to the third or fourth post to see the difference!) So this is Green:
He's such a good boy :]
and Pink:Also known as Daisy Belle. She will be going to PA next month!
And Purple: Her new name is Bella, She will be staying here in Ohio!
She was the smallest baby :] but definetly the spunk of the pack!
And last, but of course, not least, the porkie Black:
Uhm.. Black?
...Hello..?
Oh, there we are! He's the biggest boy, SO fuzzy!
We did it! And let me tell you, they have a very proud.... VERY NOSY father.
Uhm.. Snuffy..
SNUFFY! MOVE! I'M TRYING TO TAKE A PICTURE!
*takes a deep breath* okay.. remember: you did this to yourself!
CHAARRGEE!
Snuffy: Okay mom, sorry.. I'm outta here!
And where, might you ask, is Zoey all this time?!
She snuck away to my bed, and figured she'd have herself a nap! The nerve! Well, I guess being a westie mommy is hard work..
So there's the big babies :] They are now off of puppy milk replacer and demolish puppy kibble with warm water.. Zoey tends to run away from them now as it is.. they're sprouting little teeth (oww)
