My dd, Amber had her first ultrasound on Monday due to some light spotting. Mom and Baby are both doing great; her baby has a strong, healthy heartbeat ---- one of her worst fears after her miscarriage back in December of 2004. The spotting is contributed to her & the baby's placenta laying over the cervix as Amber has a tipped uterus. Her OB/GYN is confident that with plenty of rest and TLC her uterus will move into a more normal position as the baby continues to grow. All positive thoughts and prayers for Amber, Chris, and baby are greatly appreciated.
Chaos, our new family member, had his first vet's appt. yesterday. Dr. Jim believes he is 9 weeks old, he weighs 8 lb. 7 oz. He did excellent for his first trip to the vet, even with the desire to run and romp with a variety of cats and dogs waiting as well. It was all Don and I could do to hold onto him at times........ trust me, 9 week old puppies are wiggly! Chaos received all of first immunizations, was wormed, and we received a free Puppy Care Package from Merial the manufacturers of Frontline for fleas and ticks and Heartguard. The package contained his first dosages of each. I also found this in the packaging! A puppy charm from http://www.GetMeHome.com The charm contained an ID number to register your pet online on their website and register owner information as well as offer a variety of choices for one to be contacted. Chaos is wearing his "Get Me Home" ID tag proudly on his pet collar.
While visiting Merial's website, and I suppose from experiencing the new ownership of a new addition to our family, I couldn't help thinking about all the animals requiring the necessities of life from the recent Hurricane Katrina. This website, http://www.forpitssake.org/katrina.html shows the conditions some of the animals experienced in the wake of Katrina. I broke my heart ---- it is a slide show that only take a few seconds to view but I definately need to issue a "Kleenex Alert" it will make you think and possibly cry, it did me.
