Well I have conceded defeat and just let them play in the fenced-in backyard since they kept escaping from the "puppy coop" in the front yard. They had a blast out there and managed to find every hole and puddle ot jump into. The boys were neutered and Saira was spayed on May 20th, the other girls will be spayed on May 25th. The boys did great with their neuters. We preshaved so they were only under anesthesia for 10 minutes or so. They were awake and bouncing off the walls in no time. Poor Saira was not so lucky. She was there to replace her splint and since the neuters went so quickly we decided to go ahead and spay her. She was a sore girl from the splint change and a spay but she is doing much better this evening. Weights at Day 49 are:
Surgery Shots - Day 49. Taken as the surgeries were just completed
Aragorn
Taurnil
Boromir
Gandalf (who flipped on his side just as the picture was taken
Faramir
Saira -- presplint and postsplit. Poor lass!
Recovery Shots - Day 49. Taken about 5 hours after the boys were finished and about 2 hours after Saira was finished. It did not take long for them to get back to normal and they act like nothing happened!!
