The Deed Is Done.....

While I never look forward to it, it does seem I'm finding my appointments for docks and dew claws less emotionally or psychologically traumatic with each passing litter. With that said, the pups enjoyed their first car ride today and returned home slightly lighter than they were when we ventured out.  They took the procedure like the Dobermans they are though and actually seemed more upset with being held tightly than with the procedure itself. Or maybe they were equally upset with both.  In any event as soon as they were turned free, they were quick to quiet and settle.  It was immediate in fact. Majestic again was a trooper but did show a little worry when I placed the second group of pups in the box for my return trip to the Vet.  Even so, she was quiet and content with the stay at homes when I returned with her outlings. It's nice to have this day behind us...  looking forward to the days of play!
