Today I needed to take the three dackels in for their yearly exam. All three did well, I mean, we all knew Anneliese would, and Greta and Arnie were totally fabulous too.
They had their blood tests for heart worm and they were heart worm free, and Greta and Arnie had their shots. Anneliese will have hers after she delivers.
Yes, we are thinking in very positive terms, as far as little dackel babies go. In fact I have an appointment on March 21st to have her examined and her little belly palpitated, to see how many little babes are in there. Then about a week before her due date, we will have an x-ray done to see just how many are inside.
Greta has finally lost the weight she gained from her last litter. She was a reluctant dieter, and I had to prepare meals that would help to cut those calories and lighten her up. In one year she has lost 2 pounds!
Arnie was just perfect all around. He has to be the most loving dog that there is. He was jumping around spreading his kisses to all of the staff. He is a remarkable boy and I am so happy that we kept him!
Of course we will need to sell all of Anneliese’s babies. I’m prepared for that. I think. Maybe. No, I am. I know I am. Although I am sure it will be very hard.
Can’t wait to hear the news!!

Glad the vet appointment went well! I will be so surprised if she doesn’t have puppies in there. At least 3, but maybe 6! Love YOU, Mel
LOL! I would think for what it cost ya to get that little lady pregnant, you’ll probably just about break even if ya sell them all – right? Providing she has enough of them! Soooooo… how many baby dackels does it TAKE to break even?
Hi Mom,
Hope you have a great day today!
Love you lots,
Mandy
Taking the pets to the vet is an experience. My husband was such a trooper when our cat was all beat up.
Glad to know everyone is doing well and be sure to let us know after the 21st about the little ones.
Awww…I just love little Greta. Tell her to send some of that weight loss my way!
OH, poor Greta! It’s tough being a female.
That would be my biggest problem….parting with those adorable puppies!
I’m sure you’ll find some good homes for them and remember how glad the new owners will be 🙂
You should make this the Dackel princess dog blog ! 😉
Sure you’re selling all of them…sure!
I think some of us will be just as sad when you have to sell the babies, given that we are all following along so closely with the whole process!!
