OFA-PAR

BrownStone Koyuk had her OFA hip x-rays and prenatal exam today. She had to be put under for the x-rays and was quite "drunk" for a few hours. When the poor girl tried to walk, her front legs splayed and the faster rear legs moved forward to bypass them leaving her with a drunken swagger. I got to bring her home early. McKenzie and Cedar took turns as PAR (post anesthesia recovery) nurses. She was asleep with her head on McKenzie's rump until I disturbed her by grabbing the camera.
 She then used her mom's rump as a pillow.
 Soon only a full body snuggle would comfort.
I am pleased to announce that Koyuk was determined to be in the best of health on her exam and the x-rays were deemed excellent by two vets. Last week she passed her eye exams.

As I type, she snuggling comfortably in bed with Dave.Soon she will get to help me with nesting for a litter of puppies.
