Pup day

 This morning was pups to the vet morning, one to be weighed for heartworm meds, the other for shots, exam and weighin for heartworm meds.  This event was traumatic for one and the highlight of the day for the other.
 .  As we arrived and I had to literally drag the little shepherd pup from the back of the SUV, the beast bounded to the back for his leash.  Since Shadow was cowed, I walked her on up the ramp to enter and check her in to be nearly bowled over by Ranger who had pulled away from hubby, sans leash and loped in to the vets and straight to the back to say "Hello" to the staff with hubby chasing after him, leash in hand.
     At 7 months old, the beast weighed in at 122 lbs.  Once inside, Shadow settled, took her exam and shots calmly, and weighed only 38 lbs.  She will be 5 months next week.  We survived this visit, physically unharmed, but with a considerably lighter wallet, and I thought raising kids was expensive.
    After the morning vet, the pups got a walk on the Huckleberry Trail and home to chill out on the front porch, in the shade and under the fan.  Don't they look traumatized?
