This morning I took Tulip to the vet. She thought her morning was going to be like all of the others. Little did she know.Among the developments:
-she "aged" 5 weeks, we thought she was 9 weeks when we got her, turns out she was actually 14 weeks, which bodes extremely well for her potential to remain a petite flower throughout her lifetime, but does not bode extremely well for training as we now have an almost 4 month puppy with little training-eek!
-she was repeatedly called headstrong and strong-minded, which is interesting because we were sure we had picked the beta puppy who would be easily trained. As we were leaving, the vet did say that puppies of her personality tend to grow up to be the best dogs if properly trained
-she (mostly we) were assigned homework: holding her in a submissive position and massaging her teeth, ears, and toes. Oh the joy.
-she got both intranasal and intramuscular administrations of shots. Which she loved.
-she told she's doubled her weight in the past 21 days. Which most females would find very disturbing, but is good for her. And she might just be svelte according to the vet.
-and most importantly of all, Tulip discovered she has a FOXY vet! And the foxy vet brought up that he has 2 puppies, from the same place, that look like Tulip. Could a playdate be far off?
