Well, the fuzzhead had to go get her 3rd set of shots, and her rabies shot. We went ahead and got her nails trimmed, too. She was such a good girl! Except when they looked in her ears. She did NOT like that one little bit!!! But other than that she was a very good girl. She now weighs a whole 2 pounds 11 ounces

, and she's in very good health.

I'm glad to hear her trip to the white coats went well.

Thats great news!

Now Lilly, you've got to be a good girl & let them look at your ears. They are only trying to help.

If you practice looking at & cleaning (even if you just pretend to clean) her ears daily she should get used to it. PRAISE when she behaves like a good girl.

Glad to hear that all went well - Roscoe doesn't much care for having his ears looked at either, but Sue is right. Practice it, and she'll get better. That was actually one of the things we had to do for Roscoe's obedience 'final,' and he did very well because we kept practicing

Yeah, I'm gona have to do that. Her rabies shot made her SO sore! Yesteday you couldnt even pick her up without her yelping,

. She seems perfectly fine today though! She's chasing Skye, and running and romping around.

My vet does not give rabies shots that young. Nor any that I've heard of around here. They give first rabies usually around 6 months...

They said they had to be 12 weeks before they got them, and so Lily was 12 weeks yesterday, and she got her little tag and everything. My mom's friend's dog, (also a Pom) got his at about 14 weeks. So apparently around here they give them sooner...
