Sheltie Forum Pups Spring/Summer 2014

I was just thinking about little blue Enzo the other day. Such a pretty boy. Cubby has just started the belly-up sleeping in his crate too! Glad the transport went well.
 
oh my goodness your little Enzo is adorable!! Love the smooched face and paws photo! He's most likely just settling in and will gain an appetite after that. Though, that being said, there are shelties that aren't food monsters also.

Enzo came home on Sunday and is still settling in, but he's doing so well! I picked him up at the San Diego airport, which was less stressful than I anticipated. We drove back to my parents' house an hour and a half away and he didn't make a peep the whole way. He was the same when we came back to the central coast the next morning.

So far he's been SUCH a good little puppy. He's 14 weeks old, and so far has only had 1 accident which was at my parents' house. He's a good little office puppy so far, too. Slept most of the day today, and we played fetch at lunch.

He isn't really into food at this point. Doesn't eat that much when I put it out, and haven't seemed to find anything super tasty that he'll work for when training. Maybe he's still settling in?

One thing we have to work on is jumping. He doesn't jump on people, but he jumps on THINGS. Tries to jump on the bed, the counters (counter surfing, but he's too short), he tried to jump on the toilet once. And he's figured out he can get on the coffee table from the couch. Gotta nip that in the bud.

I added some pictures to my album here:

He is so pretty!
 
What a beautiful boy another Enzo. LOL Zoey likes to sleep on her back, it is so cute when they do that.

As far as chewing Zak was a chewer, mulch, plants, he chewed a few pillow case's too.
 
Thanks all! He's definitely settling in more today. He decided he likes freeze dried liver treats and we worked on 'sit.'

We also went to the vet today. He was wormed once more as a 'just in case' and it's a good thing! Tonight when we went out he had diarrhea (presumably from the medication) and I saw roundworms in his stool. :ick Any ideas on how long his diarrhea might last? I have some canned pumpkin, should I put some in his breakfast tomorrow?

Another thing that I thought was interesting - the vet said puppies need to get their vaccines every 3 weeks, and the last one at/after 16 weeks. I know about the 16 week thing, but I thought vax were every 4 weeks?
 
There appears to be some discrepancy between vet world on that and pet world on that issue.

Mathematically, mine had to come out to 24 days per so 3-1/2 weeks for us to land right.

I just figured out when they were given and when we hit 16 weeks and divided. There's wiggle room in the 3-4 week range.

Loving the roundworms! Ugh. Can anyone top Cubby's SEVEN inch worm that was stuck and had to be, um, manually removed? God.
 
He has gained a pound in a week. I have to assume that worm, and her little 3 inch brother were taking some toll there. I think I saw 2 or maybe 3 total. Fortunately those are an easy fix -- started him on HW medication rather than additional worming. That was my idea and the vet liked it. The vet tech was running for the wormer. I like my vet, she listens to you and agrees if the plan is workable and in good interest of the animal.
 
Next Saturday I go to meet the blobettes.... but by now they should resemble fuzzy puppies (4 weeks old)

I am excited, nervous and downright scared! :) But my future awaits, and if they are butt ugly, I can still say no... um, but it would be difficult since I chose a name and the puppy is being registered this week.

Kennel Name Blue Skies, short, sweet, and a nice song by Willie Nelson, my favortie song on his Stardust album.

Now to try to find a call name to tie to it...

Any ideas? (Blue Skies or a tie to Willie Nelson?)

I have been calling her Karma in my mind, but that doesn't tie to the registered name... although it doesn't have to...
