Satellite....
I just lost my replying for the second time.... trying once more. We had his first vet appointment yesterday. My vet was impressed, he whipped around when I said his name, and I hadn't even had him 2 full days by then. Ok, I know that is bragging, but the vet said it first!
He weighed 2 pounds 10 oz (9 weeks) so I expect he won't need to wear socks for long. He didn't fuss about being weighed, the thermometer, and he actually slurped down his dewormer! All my dogs have loved the vet, so we will go weekly to weigh, and say hi.
I have to vaccinate myself, and my vet goes with that. I follow Dr Dodds protocol, Andy my vet doesn't carry those vaccines, so I had to order 25 myself
He is 1/2 Yorkie (mom) and his dad was a shihtzu x Pom. His hair is close to a pretty slick Pom - I didn't care about his coat, but I love to learn about genetics, and what throws a coat like this, from super hairy parents
and siblings! He does have very thick skin, and a double coat. He is sturdy too, his bone structure is not at all fragile.
He did get the smarts, that is for certain. And he is no wilting violet - which is the personality I prefer.
Sending now before I lose this too. Thanks all for the kind words! Oh and now both my dogs love him, and he wants to be big and play like them.
Oh, and I will try to upload his first raw meal of Cornish game hen neck and ribs to the prey model thread later. He pounced back and forth at it before he dug in. SO Cute, I got video of that!
