4 days

Wash had his first visit to the Vet's this week.

I wasn't there but I heard he was a very well behaved little pup. His breeder says he got a clean bill of health from the Vet, along with his 1st set of shots.

When I pick him up on Tuesday I'll be getting the papers from Wash's breeder as proof that the Vet gave him a clean bill of health, the proof he's had his shots and the insurance that comes with him.
When you bring home your puppy, don't forget the paperwork. Lots of trainers, Vets, Breeders etc will require and request a paper trail of your dog's health. Proof of vaccination is particularly important for obedience classes.

Today makes Wash 8 weeks old. I can't believe I've only known him 8 weeks. I am so blessed to have an amazing breeder who has let me visit him so much and who keeps me in the loop about everything that Wash gets up to. There are families who haven't visited since the first week that they picked out their dog.
At 8 weeks puppies should get their 2nd deworming, so I have to make sure he's had his 2nd deworming when I pick him up.

I have everything I think I need, with the exception of a dog tag. I'm all ready, and Tuesday can't come fast enough.

Wash Update:

-eating hard kibble
-completely weaned from mom
-been crate training for nearly 2 weeks
-nearly house broken
-had his 1st set of vaccinations
-should have his 2nd deworming treatment

All of his siblings are being picked up Saturday and Sunday, while Wash will have a couple days just with his mom and the breeder before I pick him up. It'll break my heart, but I think it's best for him. It'll give him time to adjust to life without his siblings before I pick him up and take him to a new house. Also, having time just him and his mom should be an interesting experience for a puppy. He'll know  that even though his siblings are gone, it's still ok- hopefully it'll help ease him into the transition to being the only puppy at home.
