Maverick

Maverick (new labradoodle puppy) is home as of yesterday. He is now 8.5 weeks old and weighing in at 12 lbs 7 oz!!! Oh yes, he is a big boy:) Yesterday started off really busy but after I got home it was so nice to just hang out at home, catch up on DVR, and play with my dogs. 

Yesterday morning I took Callie to the vet - double ear infection (pretty bad). She never shows any signs of pain -- she shook her head the other day a few times and has been "cleaning" them a lot more lately. Upon our visit I found out that Callie lost 6-7 lbs so she is now 64 lbs. In doggie world that is a big deal. I would have been jumping up and down if it was me so you can understand my shock when Dr. Boyce was very concerned and immediately wanted to do a lot of tests -- so here we are waiting on those results. I told her to not tell me what she thought it was unless she wanted a lot more questions the next few days from my internet searches. 

After Callie's morning at the vet, I cleaned house really fast and then went to pick up Maverick from the breeder (Mill Creek Labradoodles). Whom not to plug for her but seriously one of the best breeders I have ever met in my life!!! Such a blessing that I met Sandra. So we left after her and her 3 children said good-bye to him. Off to see Dr. Boyce we went for a check-up (routine for breeder health guarantees). Everyone loved him - especially Dr. Boyce. He is "very healthy and looks great" so I was happy to get some good news from the vet after Callie's morning.

Callie and Maverick get along really well so far. There is a little hint of jealousy sometimes but Callie seems to mother him already -- she corrects him when he is chewing on things around the house. He is so mellow and really laid back. He does not mind her barking at him occasionally and follows her everywhere. Yesterday they were either close to each other sleeping or chewing on bones -- made me so happy!!! I am expecting some bumps in the road (one being up every 30 min to hr with a crying/whimpering puppy last night). 

Looking forward to posting many funny stories about these two!!!
