Honey’s puppies made the 3 1/2 hour trip to Austin on Friday to visit the animal eye doctor.  They all had good reports and the eye doctor confirmed there was no evidence of CEA – which we knew would be the case since King is a non-carrier and Honey is normal-eyed and this means none of their puppies can ever have CEA!

We left 4 puppies with their new owner.  They will be evaluated and possibly have show careers!  It seems strange just counting to 5 now instead of 9!

It has been so fun the last few days to watch Honey and her puppies playing together.  Honey will crouch and jump and nuzzle their necks.  I love to watch them playing, but most of all, I like knowing they are learning from Honey what is appropriate play and how to interact with her and each other.  This is giving them a great start to being ready to fit into their new families!  They also have started running to us whenever one of us goes outside and they are romping.  It is so cute to see them flock to our 5 year old and 2 year old daughters.  They are so excited to see them and the feeling is entirely mutual!

I have removed the pages of the pups that already have new homes.  Honey’s pups will be going for their 6 week check up tomorrow with the vet and will get their first shots.  Then they will take the big trip to Austin for their animal eye doctor visit.  After that, they will be ready for people to start choosing their puppies and which one they would like to have join their family.
