Growing Pains

This is Ben at 6 Weeks old. He had his very first Vet visit Yesterday. While he is still the biggest Pup, apparently he is also the biggest baby. He cried the loudest when he was having his chip inserted. Poor Baby!!!! I heard the needle was very large. Sorry Ben. Hopefully, if you are ever lost, the chip will have been worth it. Twelve Days to Ben !!!

Then I will have to Pet Him

Brush Him

Feed Him

Walk Him

Play with Him

Love Him!!!!!!!

This is Ben at 5 weeks. Finally, his head is not bigger than his body!!! He is so cute. We are very excited to go get him. Counting today, there are 18 days till Ben. Time to go buy puppy snacks. Lots and Lots of puppy snacks. He gets his first bath this Sunday, I really hope he enjoys it, All Three of our former collies would totally tolerate them , but didn't really look forward to them. I cannot wait to hug him. Here Ben, Here Boy , Come here Ben, Sit Ben ,Stay Ben, GOOD BOY BEN !!! Hurry up Ben!!!
