Ridin' The Range
Our German Wirehaired Pointer who had been a stray and NEVER went into heat in the 4 1/2 years we have had her gave us a big surprise January 17 - puppies! The dad is our Boxer.
Not sure how they turned out black and white, but they all did. Since they looked like GWPs we had their tails docked and dewclaws removed. We kept two and found great homes for the others. When they left us they went having had their first shot, were on heartworm preventative and wormed, although their tummies did not look wormy. We sent everyone to their new homes with a bag of dog food and records. We did everything we could to get them off to a good start. Mom was spayed half way through birthing when she had an emergency c-section.
Our pups have not been wearing collars but tonight we put collars on them because they were playing too crazy and we needed something to hold on to when we were calming them down.
Not long afterwards LG looked REALLY bad. His tail was down. His back was arched. He was not moving. He kept watching me. I held him and looked him over really well and was thinking we were going to have to make an emergency trip to the vet.
Then a light goes off in my head! The collar! I took it off and he was suddenly back to his normal puppy self.
These are our kids. Idgie has the black mask.
