Vet Visit

Marine air moved in and our 90 degree days abated for a while. As it got cooler last night I covered the whelping box to hold in the heat. Excited rears sticking out from under the covers was my first view of Koyuk and her family this morning.
Today was a well mom/pup check-up. Both the warming box and the next size basket were too small for the growing pups. Everyone was bundled up in the large laundry basket for their first car ride.
Mr Navy and Ms Orange have doubled their birth weight. Everyone else is within 1oz of doubling their weight. (Koyuk has lost 6 lbs in spite of her daily 6 cups each of puppy kibble and ice cream). All were pronounced perfectly wonderful. 
After the official check-up, the entire clinic staff got their share of puppy-breath.
