Well, it was a long day but the pups are home and doing great. Dove right in to the grub and they're now resting! Unfortunately Orange didn't receive her health certificate and will be staying with me a bit longer. First time I've had a pup fail to get a certificate and it was rough to break the news to the family waiting for her. It seems Orange has a mild (grade 1-2 of 6) heart murmer. It's left to be seen what if any effect that will have on her future. The research I've done states murmers aren't terribly uncommon in pups and often resolve with no ill effect within a few weeks or by 16 weeks of age. Her Vet said as much so it's a wait and see situation for now. My apologies went out to Michelle, Chris and their daughter for a wait that abruptly turned to disappointment. Not sure at this point of their plans as they weigh their options. For now, Orange will be raised as one of my own and we'll begin some basic puppy training as soon as her siblings are on their way. And there will be pictures. Lots and lots of pictures of course as I document her growth and development as I would any other dog in my care.
As far as the rest of the pups go, we'll see you tomorrow. Please send some positive energy for Orange. We're counting on her murmer being of the "innocent" variety.
