Catch Up

Hi,
It's been a few days since I've been able to update about the Dog Farm. Like everyone else, it seems like I don't have enough hours to get everything done.
The puppies and Annie finished one of their medicines today and they have only two days left on antibiotics. At one point, we were giving the litter a total of 24 doses daily. The puppies liked the taste of one of the medications but another was awful and they squirmed and gagged and spit before finally swallowing. Most of the puppies are feeling better but three still cry a lot. It's hard to watch them hurt. The little brown puppy is officially "Robin" now. She's named after Veterinarian Robin who's taken such good care of Annie and the puppies. The added bonus is that my sister and sister-in-law are Robins too. What great namesakes Robin the Puppy has.
We took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and were at the Bark Park early. Others had the same idea and there were lots of happy people and dogs enjoying themselves. There were 14 dogs on the large dog side and three on the small dog side. What a great variety of dogs and people!
Bob is making progress with Annie starting to approach him. Is it the spoonful of ice cream last evening and the piece of steak this evening that's winning her over?
