Ear cropping appointments have been secured. One on our list has chosen their own cropper. The remainder will be done by Dr McBride. Four pups will go in June 28th and three on July 3rd. That calls for some independence day pick ups and we'll talk about which pups go in on which days when the time nears. Holidays can be a little tough for some, great for some and not a big deal one way or the other for others. For me, most holidays are just like any other day. For the 4th I generally stick close to home to make sure the critters- dogs and horses aren't bothered by what ever fireworks are going off in the distance.
