We went to the vet Tuesday for Paloma to have her rabies vaccine. We ended up having to wait a rather long time for the vet to finish with another patient but we made good use of that time. It's nice that they keep a tray of treats in the room as I was able to put Paloma through some of her paces. She's a good sitter, and we are working on "look!" She is even getting better with sit-stay, and not following me while I'm walking backwards. Of course, there is only so far one can go when in a room at the vet's office!
However, the funniest thing happened . . . . Paloma found her tail!! :) She was so funny - she'd curl her body into a half moon and then swish her tail closer so she could grab it. She'd go around and around a few times and then stop and act like she was dizzy. I think she was very fascinated with what she had found and still doesn't know it's connected to her. I had some really good laughs at her expense.
On another note: Paloma and Patriot have already transitioned to Innova Evo Small Red Meat Bites. It's composition is similar to the Orijen Puppy so if you're looking for something easy to switch to, might I suggest that. For us it was just easier to go with the food Hannah and Marley are already eating. I know one of our families is looking at feeding a premium raw diet which is okay with me. Whatever you choose, be careful it doesn't contain corn. Patriot had a recent bout that landed him at the emergency vet for an overnight visit - they think because he ate whole kernel corn which didn't agree with him. That may or may not be the reason he was sick but, it's better to be safe than sorry. IMHO
That's all for now. I have received several pictures recently and I hope to have those posted soon. Everyone seems to be doing really well and enjoying one another's company. Brianna and Patriot should arrive tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to seeing them.
Until later . . . take care ~ Audrey, Hannah, Marley and Paloma
