We all know that feeling, right... We get the puppy and start making plans. Taking the pup to the park, starting playdates with other pups, showing off at stores and friends etc... Especially, the younger the puppy, the longer the wait. I got mine at the age of 9 weeks, and he just got his second set of shots now (10 weeks).I know I have to wait 3 more weeks for the last vaccine. And I was advised against taking the pup out in a private house backyard (no more than a few minutes, as the vet said). It's not only about the viruses from other dogs but also from wild animals, especially skunks, possums and such. But oh well, WOULD LOVE TO TAKE MY BABY PLACES. But his health is more important. So I will wait (sigh).... After that, I'll have his whole lifetime to enjoy doing all that fun stuff outdoors!
