Let's see. We went to the dog show in Bremerton today, but didn't show any dogs as there were no majors. We did though have health tests done as we do every year at this show. Usually they just offer CERF there, but this year they had a cardiologist too! Bonus!!!! Indie and Bonnie had their hearts checked, this time by a cardiologist, and Indie, Bonnie, Kat and Touille had their eyes checked. Everyone passed with flying colors.
Tuesday Touille and Bonnie have their permanent hip X-rays done and Indie his official preliminary hip X-rays done. When I took him in before he was a year old, the vet, who takes dozens of hip X-rays a week, and his tech, got more excited than I have ever seen them get. Indie had the best hip X-rays they had EVER seen in any breed. They were just about jumping up and down, they were so excited. We'll see what they are like on Tuesday. Hopefully the same. It made me wonder if youth had anything to do with it, but that has not been my experience to date. Keep your fingers crossed!
The babies are having fun in the kitchen now. They are now "big kids" since they are now five weeks old today. They play on the wobble toys, moving equipment, etc. They play/growl/fight like the terriers they are! They wag their tails a lot too. They love to pile in my lap. This is one SWEET litter, not surprisingly as Annie is so sweet and Indie is not far behind.
The Kat litter just keeps getting prettier and prettier. Iki is now "Fancy." Ono is still Ono, and Pip is still Pip. I think that they will keep those names, despite Pip being a male nickname for Philip. It means other things too, and I like some of the other connotations, even if she is a female! Mum or Mim or Nikin is now Penny. I am teaching them all their call names.
Annie's kids have their teeth and are starting to eat soaked kibble. They aren't using their teeth a whole lot as they don't try to eat my toes yet. They will.
As it gets warmer, we will go outside more. Annie's crew are only going out when I carry them, at this point. Pip, Ono, Fancy and Penny go out many times a day when I am home. Nancy was here with them today and they had fun going in and out.
The spring flowers are starting to flash their colors around. Yesssssss! Spring HERE is beautiful.
