13 weeks

Leah's 13 weeks old and getting so big.  This past weekend she got to have a sleepover with Grandpa Chris and Grandma Sue (they said it's okay to call them that.)  They reported that she is a great puppy.  We were so grateful that they were willing to watch her while we went camping. Leah is still on her doxy and amoxi. She is drinking a lot less which I think is a good sign.  She will go back into the vet this week for her third vaccination and a repeat urine analysis.  Hopefully it shows the meds. are working.

Pretty girl

Of course she loves chewing sticks

And what girl doesn't need a pink ball?

Oh no...brother bear wants the ball

Leah goes camping.....in the backyard

Making sure the kid's beds are just right

I think she's smiling. 

12 Weeks Old today

The princess is doing great.  At 12 weeks old she weighs 16 pounds. She loves to play with her new house mate Bear who is 6 months older then her.

Brother Bear says "don't take my toy."

We have been monitoring her closely since her momma Shelby was infected with several diseases.  All the puppies in her littler have been on doxycycline since they were 7 weeks old.  Since having her cbc/ chem done at 11 weeks old, as well as a tick panel and urinalysis, Princess Leah has also started amoxicillin since she tested positive for rocky mountain spotted fever.  Her white blood count is also elevated and her liver and kidneys show signs of distress.  She is eating well and gaining weight so that is a positive.  From just looking at her you would never know she is sick.  She's a playful happy pup and we are going to work hard at to keep her that way.

 Here she is today on her 12 week birthday

Feel the love

Don't hate her cause she's beautiful.

The thinking dog
