janet_rose. Thank You so much for all the helpful advice and tips. I'm most definately going to try the natural flea and tick repellant that your post discussed. It's sounds very simple and interesting.
You and the pups should touch as little as possible while there.
I have heard many bad things about vets office regarding germs and handling your puppies. I've warned my boyfriend and we're going to make sure that noone tries to touch or play with the puppies unless they want to wash their hands before hand [
] I do get paranoid about germs and my health as well as my puppies so we will be taking extra precautions when we have our first vet visit.
DPU. Thank You for your words of encouragment. I do sometimes feel like i'm being criticized for having puppies from the same litter, and I still don't understand why others feel it is a bad thing?
Snooks. Thank You also for your advice and thanks for welcoming me to the dog world lol. I'm aready starting to experience the happy moments (like when my puppies finally learned their names and to sit) and the dissapointing ones (like the unsuccessful crate training-I bought a to large crate for them to share. not good since they only pee in one corner then sleep in the other. completely my fault. Don't worry I am buying another crate with dividers so that the puppies can have their own side of the crate and hopefully learn.)
Also on a random note: I am eligible to have the puppies spayed and nuetered for free at my local SPCA since I am a full time college student [
] So when the puppies get older I will most definately be doing that.
