Ann just got a call from the vet's office and Mr. B came through it all with flying colors. We'll pick him up this afternoon and then the fun really begins - keeping a super-active 9 month old pup "quiet" for several days. HA!
Yes, the "keeping him quiet" part is a challenge. Jimmy was groggy when he first came home, slept through til the next morning, and then it was like nothing had happened! We had to just about sit on him to keep him still! Good Luck calming your wild pup!
Our vet's office uses gas, not IV to put them under so I'm betting he will be chipper when we pick him up. Mr. Pogo Stick will most likely try bouncing around at the first opportunity. Bigger issue will be keeping him from wrestling with Ra!

About Me, UHM and The Horde
Me: I'm a 40-something dog mom. I never intended to live with five dogs and a cat, it just happened. Funny thing is, I can't imagine living any other way.
UHM (Understanding House Mate): She didn't even have a dog when she was a child. FIVE dogs and a cat!?!? Now you know why she's understanding. She loves the dogs as much as I do. The cat, not so much.
The Heathen Horde: Sam, Ginny & Moira are the original Horde members. In the last two years Bogey & Georgia have been granted full membership status. Everyone is red & white - that way the neighbors aren't sure how many dogs we have :)
